What a thrill to see a split level redux! But now, everyone on the block is going to want one. . .

ummm? wow. that one serious remodel. very impressive.

Wow, the house renovation looks great. More photos, please!

Wow. That house looks fab.

wow, nice work on that chair! that’s a print i wouldn’t naturally be drawn to, but it so totes goes in her decor. love how it feels lodge-y, yet brighter. and i’m just super impressed with people who can upholster (they are the volinists of decorating, imo). i have an antique queen anne chair that was given to me by a friend cuz she had no room for it (score!) but desperately needs to be redone. this is inspiring me.

wow! great before and after!

Love the inside. The outside is a little bleek, but the interior is gorgeous.

I love the way that house looks on the outside. Great reno.

Wow the house just looks completely different.

both versions of the chair look like a before, in my opinion, not to be snarky or anything….

WHOA! That house went through a major transformation. Love it.

Thanks for posting shots–and yes, the house gets lots of stares and people driving by VERY slowly.

It’s funny the reactions we get. There are some who really don’t understand why we wouldn’t just slap fake aluminum siding on the house to make it blend in with the rest of the neighborhood and then there are others who stop us on the street and tell us how amazing it is.

Photos are being published in three architecture books later this year.

I think sol is crazy. Not every piece of furniture needs to be painted shiny white or black like most of the before/afters we see on this sight. I think it looks great. I liked the velvet that was there in the before but your new choice was a good one too. It’s a nice peice

ahaha Gabriel you don’t know how right you are on that one.
Nonetheless the checkered fabric looks old.

I agree — I love the chair redo and am glad she went with something understated. Would love to find a modern way to use plaid in my apt.

I saw the before photo and thought – whoa,that house looks EXACTLY like our home here in Anchorage, Alaska (which we are also remodeling). I’m so suprised to see an AK home featured here! Now I’m wondering which part of town she’s in – maybe a drive-by ogling is in our future!

I am so loving this transformation!

oh shit…I love those horse pillows!
does anyone know where they are from?

I loves this before & after makeover by a ds reader Toni Brogan.

Great work Toni, you sure did give life to that old piece of furniture.

Wow! This is so beautiful! I also love those horse pillows and would love to know their source.

Wow!

If you look at the lines of the chair and transpose the head of the horse in the pillow, you’ll realize the chair’s lines are just like the body of the horse. Well done

The house is astoumding–what a beautiful remodel! The chair surprised me, – I don’t especially care for plaid, but the pattern she chose is really perfect for that setting. Great job!

gosh, i love it. i want one! i have a vast collection of mid-century stuff and it would look so good with this exterior! i’m jealous, in a good way. carry on!
