Providence Home Renovation

Here is a look at another beautiful home that I found on {Apartment Therapy}. The makeover of the Deaners' house was amazing considering the amount they were able to get done with so little and in such a short period of time. Most of their improvements were relatively simple - painting, wallpaper and material upgrades — no major demolition was done. They did an amazing job making this older house their home - using what exists and taking time to live in the house to really understand the space they were working with. They created a truly unique aesthetic - the paint on single walls throughout house, together with the with the old wood floors, created a cohesive space. The end product is perfect for showcasing this couple's amazing art collection and eclectic taste in furniture. Apartment Therapy covered their progress on the back in February after only owning and working on the house for 3 months. Now, after another 3 months, this is final product...for now! Their style is mid-century modern with an eclectic blend of art and design - which is what I love about it :) They said their biggest challenge was renovating the entire home while still living and working in New York and sticking to a small budget - their best advice is "less is more". Beautiful job!

Dresser into Vanity and Attic Remodel

How creative is this!? I don't know why I haven't seen or thought of this before - after seeing vanities like these being sold for $$$$. Carrie, from {Pattern of Life}, and her husband found this old dresser for $30 at an antique mall and after rolling up their sleeves and getting to work - this is what they ended up with! It is so beautiful and looks as though it cost a fortune! Carrie and her husband have been remodeling their home themselves. Below is their attic that they remodeled - makes me really wish I had an attic to do this with and turn it into my craft/design room :) Both the attic and the vanity look like they are straight out of a Pottery Barn or Restoration Hardware catalog! Ahhh...one day...this is quite and inspiration - thank you! Her work was also featured on {Design*Sponge} last month!
