Hillside Avenue Before and After- Part Three

We continue to shape up our new home! Still at work in progress but really coming along. Today we are sharing with you the front living room, our bedroom, and the kitchen!

Some of the changes were simple and others were quite large! In the front room, we used Sherwin-Williams Tri-corn Black on the fireplace and built-ins and then Sherwin-Williams Pure White on the walls and trim. I love how the deep rich black brought out the depth in the room.

In the bedroom, our very skilled contractors repaired the walls. They went from a rippled plaster job, to nice smooth clean walls feeling almost new again. Additionally, to add some interest, we added shiplap as a feature wall to the fireplace. It was painted in Benjamin Moore Cheating Heart, which is a grayish blue black color…. Hard to define and very rich. The walls were again Sherwin-Williams Pure White.

Finally the kitchen was simple. We just painted the walls Sherwin-Williams Pure White (even after comparing about 20 different samples of white…) and then began to hunt for different hardware. We wanted hardware that was more of a statement, and also brought in some brass touches that were throughout the home. you wouldn't think that was so difficult, but we ended up ordering about 30 types of hardware to find what we wanted. our photos ended up looking kind of yellowish on some of these photos, but at least you get the idea.

Thank you so much for taking the time to take a peek at our transformation! As much work as it is, we are loving the result!
