atelier.before
today’s final before & afters come from jan willem schipper, who recently started a decorating business in france. jan recently finished these beautiful projects, for both a retail and private space. all i know is, i would move into this atelier in a heartbeat. i could curl up and sleep in a sleeping bag in the office. it’s rustic and perfect. be sure to view the whole post and check out jan’s full set of room makeovers. thanks for sharing, jan!

[have a before & after you'd like to submit for the d*s book or website? just shoot me an email right here with your images! (we're still looking for 5 more before & afters for the book)]

That last room is definitely fabulous. I would feel so hidden and tucked out of the way. Love it.

Please, I beg – more about the light fixture in the last picture. It looks absolutely exquisite! Are there any other shots of it? Gorgeous space, wonderful use of odd angles.

October 29th, 2009 - 5:23 pm

I love how the table is repurposed as a desk. And a vintage map! Love those.

Wow, that’s a big difference, that must have taken a lot of work… Love the glass doors in the second shot.

I loved the rustic floor on wood in the first before & after.
Crazy home that, in a cavern…Where is it?
Great spaces to live in.

Thank you all for your nice comments! For the light fixture I do not have other shots, I’m sorry.

The little lights are covered with curled paper and the branch for the light, I found it in the vineyards next to the house…
