I love all the amazing before/after shots! The baby room is AMAZING though!

Nice job on the bathroom!!! I love that you kept the hexagon tiles! and what nice brass pipes!!! it looks so much warmer now. before it looked very institutional.

Oh, man. I’ve been perusing this blog for ages, and coming online today and seeing this gave me hope for the highly glossy slim-paneled wall in my mother’s bedroom. She HATES it and wishes she could do something to make it less atrocious. The previous occupants of her house basically mangled a craftsman bungalow in order to add a shoddy second story, and all the crazy changes they made really destroyed the integrity. We might not be able to restore the integrity, but after having lived with it for a while, we hope to change it.

This is definitely something I’m book-marking to show my mum later ;) Very awesome. (And the same goes with the bathroom. We’ve got some ugly ones!)

Love the mural. We have the same crib for our little one due in December:)

Also Love the after of the bathroom! the green was cool, but the after looks so much fresher and cleaner. great job keeping the character and updating the look!

Thanks everyone for the great comments, even those who preferred the before pic!! All the fixtures are original to the 1915 home, including the “tacky” gold mirror (which is actually brass).
