this home living room/dining room makeover comes from andreea avram rusu of avram rusu interiors in brooklyn. andreea and her team transformed this miami beach space into a bright, modern interior full of color and life. i tend to live a slightly less bright/modern lifestyle, but i envy homes like this sometimes for all of their simple, clean color. thanks for sharing, andreea!

CLICK HERE to see dana’s faux-herringbone floor makeover after the jump!

inspired by orlando’s striped floor tile makeover, d*s reader dana of vicariously lovely decided to use affordable vinyl tiles from lowes to redo the bathroom in her shop, scavenger home. dana cut the tiles to create long rectangles and then laid them out in a herringbone pattern to mimic the classic wood floor look. i think the result is really fantastic for the budget restrictions and send dana a big thumbs up for the great work. click here to read more about her process.

Wow – I love the look of the fancy wood floor on a budget! Wonderful job!
For the Miami space, I LOVE the colors (the pattern on those chairs is amazing!) and the clean, white shiny! BEAUTIFUL!
Much nicer after :) I love the fabric in the dining room chairs. Nice job!
that first transformation is just incredible! love those glossy white cabinets.
A-MAZING!!!!!
Wow!
Further proof that you can get amazing results with cheap peel and stick tile!
Now if only my local hardware store had a better selection to choose from.
Love this! And I really love the dining room chairs you chose! Nice job!
I’m soooo jealous of the Kartell chairs. I wish I could afford ONE.
I love the glossy ‘after’, too! The rooms are brighter and modern. Would love such a great change in my home too :).
Preferred the before. :-/
Wow- while I love nearly all the homes featured on D*S, it is great to see the Miami space- such a change from those usually featured, and really oozes that Miami vibe. It doesn’t get much more Miami than the Chiang Mai from Schmaucher ( I think that’s the chair fabric). Awesome job!!
I love it when someone gets modern right.
I am in love with those dining chairs, especially with how they tie in the beautiful glass shelf-backs.
I need to find some fabric like that. Any ideas?
i love the miami home makeover!! i need to learn how to bring bright colors into my home. it feels so happy!
oh, i need to know where that fabric is from! i love it :D tried the schmaucher website as mentioned, but its not the chiang mai fabric. any other guesses? :)
I adore the wall of cabinets in the Miami shots. In fact, I think I have wanted a wall like that for around 25 years :-) Maybe someday…
Oh. I just realized the bathroom floor was vinyl tiles. Cool idea to use a herringbone pattern – and it’s a cute bathroom!
Does anyone know where the round rug came from? It’s so much fun!
wooo fancy. i love it!
The modern “after” is nice, but the “before” was actually more to my taste. The bathroom floor, though, is great!
Hhhmm… it’s not ChiangMai…and no manufacturer information here either…

That Miami Beach transformation is gorgeous!! And I love that it’s something different for d*s.
There are round zebra wool rugs on Overstock.com.
Can Andreea please share the source/material for the flooring of the Miami apartment? Love the look!
Also those cabinets are fabulous. Very nicely done!
Incredile Miami makeover! Restrained, bold and elegant. Fabulous job.
Love the Miami makeover! Gorgeous colors.
love it dana! keep up the great work!
i would also like to know what was used on the floors in the miami makeover. it looks like an epoxy, but hard to tell. ???
Who is the manufacturer of the wall and floor tiles? I love the new look!
wow that home makeover is just incredible!!!
wish that was my house!
I am floored!
TRULY WONDERFUL LIVING ROOM! i love the style! and the mademoisel chairs? so cool!
i love love love the living room transformation. we’re currently renovating our basement and already bought yellow and red paint colors. i love how the light grey and turquoise color go with the yellow and red in this!!! thanks for the inspiration!
omg this is amazing!! LOVE IT! can you redo my whole house?!?!
Nice transformation. I’m sure it’s easier to keep white floors looking clean in Miami than in most other places in the USA.
the living room transformation is unbelievable! a bit too modern for me. but wow!
I love the high gloss walls and the chair fabric! Nice job.
Where did the chair fabric come from?
Dear Andreea,
Even if I said I Hate You in four languages (which I can) it still would not adequately convey my envy of this living room. Especially after seeing the “before” pics. The vibe is pure Miami Beach Deco, but its fresher than a lot I’ve seen and the scale is divine.
Lots of love,
Patrick
