Dramatic Transformations: Fresh Facelift for Texas Home
Though packed with functionality, this Texas home was looking a little dated with a drab color palette and oddly scaled features. Marie Flanigan introduces fresh finishes and small but striking architectural changes in this stunning update.
Before: Odd Architectural Features in Living Room
Before the makeover, the living room featured arched architectural niches of different sizes with built-in cabinets that didn't fully fit their locations. The overall look was incoherent and confusing.
Transitional Living Room With Blue Cabinets
Reconfigured windows allow more light into the living room, while the mismatched wall niches are united in a single space that provides cabinets and shelves for storage and display. Blue and gray provide some color depth while still reading as a neutral palette, and a textured wallcovering adds depth to the entertainment center and ties in well with the subtly striped rug.
Before: Bland, Neutral Kitchen
The kitchen was layout functioned well before the makeover, but the overall look was a little bland for the homeowners' taste.

Before: Home Office With Uneven Color Palette
While contrasting ceiling color can work to highlight architectural details, the navy blue in this room was a bit too strong for the beige-and-brown color palette that filled the rest of the space.
