The Before shots - Main level

I spent the afternoon at the house. I took some paint from my (perfect) condo to see if I couldn't make the orange room a little less jarring. More on that below.

Here's the front of the house. I would like to replace the doors with something less flimsy/brassy/ugly. In fact, I'd like to replace the doors with one NICE door, but I think the single doors are too big and would knock the banister down. Dang.


Also need to eradicate that aggressive juniper that is taking over the front:


Here's what you see currently when you enter the house. Not exactly the "wow" factor, unless you count "Wow, that carpet sure is grotty".


The living room has a high ceiling and actually is a pretty decent size.


The dining room is just off the living room, in a semi-open floor plan.


This odd little jog in the wall is for the placement of a sideboard, I guess. I would like to put french doors there that open out to the yard.


The view from the kitchen, looking down the hallway. There is a powder room under the stairs.


The kitchen:



The family room off the kitchen. It leads out to the deck via sliding doors. I'd like to replace the slidy doors with french doors.


And here's the little deck.
