Before: Sunroom before interior decorating. Our client here longed for a space they could call their own. A retreat where they could relax at the end of a hard days work. Originally this sunroom was taken over by the whole family, including the dogs. A fresh coat of paint for the ceiling (Kilz’s Oil-based White), walls (CIL’s Venetian Glass – 30GY 72/196), doors and trim (CIL’s French Cream – 25YY 83/103) allowed the room to take in a new mood.

After: A fresh coat of paint, new blinds and furniture can go a long way. We then installed new bamboo styled shades, added new furniture, a bamboo rug and accessories. The end tables were originally from the sunroom and the arts & crafts lamp was found at an antique show. This sunroom is now inviting and relaxing.

The Calgary Home + Interior Design Show announced Ty Pennington, host of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition will be making a guest appearance Sunday, September 19, 2009. I am a big fan of his so I’ll definitely be there. For more info check out their website www.calgaryhomeshow.com.

Before: Office before staging. If your home has enough bedrooms, and depending on if your target buyers would be interested, you may consider staging an office. If you do decide to stage one room as an office, make sure the features of the room are enhanced. Don’t try to add too many office items if a desk, chair and lifestyle accessories get the point across.

After: By removing some of the furniture in this office, you can now see the beautiful flooring. Check out the other before & after shots from this home: – Kitchen – Dining Room – Sunroom – Bathroom
