before and after: jim’s entryway

after5.jpg
sometimes a few small changes can make a really big impact. i love the way jim from moderncraft updated his entryway by covering the old “craggy” brick wall with a wooden slat wall and modern house numbers. such a nice facelift. click here to visit jim online.

[have a before & after you'd like to share on d*s? just shoot me a line right here with your images]

i love designsponge, but what happened to all of the great new design we used to see on your site? this hardly seems worth posting.

And, see? I think this is fantastic. A great work-around. Love the font on the numbers.

c.king - I think there’s plenty for everyone to find something inspiring on d*s. I far prefer the posts that feature practical, affordable design solutions from real people. I just saved this image to my House Idea folder — it looks fantastic.

simple, modern solution–wish he’d walk around MY house and give me some similar ideas!

I like the font on the new numbers but the before design is just more dynamic and interesting. The after is just a little too generic for my taste.

I think the change was extremely effective. It doesn’t scream mid-century or anything other than, who ever lives here is cool and has great taste.

Thanks for sharing this.
