more before & after

a simple lovely room from this incredible before & after home.

love those green walls. and the chair with its grey uphostelry.
and the succulent plants. and the jampacked bookshelf.

and i love seeing how far the whole place has come from its Before.

another recent find – Thread & Butter – features two single ladies who moved from apartments in the big city to a fixer-upper home in the countryside. it’s fun & interesting to track their progress as they strip, paint, and renovate. and i love thinking of the secrets discovered in old houses, the strange things found hidden under the carpets and inside the walls…
