Before and After

There is nothing like a good "Before & After" makeover. Sigh... I love them. Real Simple.com posted a fun selection of B&A rooms. Here are some of my faves and not so fave.

The Entryway Before

and After

Isn't that sooo much better? I love the white bench across from the console with mirror. And thankfully they got rid of that horrible pink paint and squirrely-q wallpaper up top. Ick. Love this red paint!

Here is another kitchen (which may I add looks like a lot of kitchens I know).So much paper and clutter... so little space to cook and eat.

And Voila!

Paper and clutter streamlined into own area. New rugs and kitchen towels and a much better, cleaner looking space.

Okay, now check out this *lovely* Before and After. I don't think I like either of them -definitely not the Before, that's for sure. But I'm not into the After either.

It's the dotted wallpaper. It's too busy for me in that small kitchen. Ick.

Here's an office Before

Hello clutter. How do you pay bills in here, btw? In the blurb they make note of how horrible that bright pink rug is in there. So then they choose this rug instead. Really? Ick on both accounts, imo.

Love the rest of the redo. But there are so many great rugs out there right now. Why would you choose that one? Ugh.

But that's what I love about Before and Afters... you never know what you're going to get.
Enjoy!
