As I’ve mentioned here before, the better half and I recently purchased our first home. Our house, BeachWood, was a flip and while the sellers did a great job gutting and modernizing the house, it was way too white and bland for us. Its been a little over a month since we moved in and the makeover is coming along great. Following is the first in a series as we go about turning this house into our home.
Dining Area Before:
Dining Area After:
The layout of our house consists of a large open floor plan so we decided to create separate areas within the large room. The dining area is actually 1/3 of the entire room.
We still need to add a rug under the table and a large plant in the corner to truly finish the area. Following is a picture taken without the flash to give you a better sense of what the area looks like at night.
Up next – the Living Area!
