"The room wasn't very promising at first. With no windows, bleak drop ceilings, (admittedly cheerful) pink painted wall paneling, muddy gray-brown vinyl floor tiles, and some '80s style niche shelving, it didn't exactly beckon."
"Step one was to get rid of everything: the paneling, the drop ceilings and fluorescent lights, the stick-on tiles. When the demo crew arrived we found a time machine's worth of brittle, ancient wallpaper, crumbly plaster, and, very unfortunately, plywood where there should have been original hardwood floors."
"The room dimensions are small, but the 12-foot ceilings we restored meant our newly stretched-out walls had potential for a lot of drama - especially given the original brick hiding behind the pink paneling."
A couple downsized their home but wanted to maintain a dedicated entry area. The initial space was uninviting with bleak features. They envisioned a transformation with exposed brick, dusky pink walls, and tall black ceilings. The renovation process involved removing outdated elements to reveal original architectural features like 12-foot ceilings and brick walls. The restored height allowed for dramatic wall treatments, enhancing the room's character and making it a welcoming space for guests.
