Virtual Decorating???
It’s a thing! A year ago I got a call from a past real estate client that he was ready to redo the house he had bought a few years before. As I recalled, the house, a quad-level, was dated and had a lot of small rooms. We arranged a meeting and put a plan together, we would start at the top and work our way down. Together we came up with a soothing color scheme for the whole house.
Now, a year later we have completed the top level, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, you can read a little about it here https://www.masseyinteriors.com/blog/2019/3/3/the-fruits-of-our-labors and we have started on the main level. When you entered the house there was a very small tile area that was open to an L shaped living/dining room. then behind a wall was a very small kitchen. These homeowners love to cook and bake, something that was just not enjoyable in such tight quarters. I knew that some walls had to come down but I was not sure how the client would take the news. I went to the next appointment with my 3D images in hand to show them how it would look in the end, and they agreed. We would take down two walls to make room for a large island with a built-in stove, place the refrigerator between the two windows, add cabinets above the half wall, expand the foyer space and replace all the carpet and vinyl flooring with engineered hardwood. The plan was set into motion.
We had the walls down and the flooring out when the news came out that we would be quarantined for the next 4-6 weeks. We were lucky in that everything was in and setting in the clients garage and the contractor had a good grasp on what to do. between good planning and the help of technology, we are getting through and it is looking great. Here are some before and during photos. A few more weeks for after pics.
