Before: After

Because everybody likes "Before" and "After" pics, right?

_________________

BEFORE:
Plastic coppery counter tops and back splash. Non-matching white fake tile back splash next to oven. Stick on linoleum flooring. Repair to yellow wall. Cheesy runner along top of wall. Ubiquitous wood paneling for wainscot ting. Brown sink. Brown double oven. (Yep: three ovens, in all.)

AFTER:

BEFORE:

White and blue faux marble sink and counter tops. Vinyl floors, blue walls. Extra walls, just to paint them blue. Dropped ceiling, to make more walls to paint blue. White and blue tile shower surround. Claustrophobic "privacy wall" that does nothing.

AFTER:

________________

BEFORE: Nice clam shell sink and goldenrod flocked wallpaper, which you can see we enjoyed ripping down. Check out how the silver mirroring is flaking from the backside of the mirror. Stay classy.

AFTER:(Not finished yet. Still needs back splash added.)

BEFORE:

Nice view of the enclosed back porch, above.

Every time my wife saw that dated '70's style divider thingy on the right, she would exclaim, "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!!!" She ripped it out with glee. Dig the coppery counter tops.

AFTER:

BEFORE:

We pulled up the ugly carpet first thing. Note paneling, dirty fireplace, and mystery person redacted because she's shy. Ooh, and note the nasty Sauder particle board bookshelves installed by a "handy" prior owner.

Back porch with self-adhesive tiles and poor windows.
