before & after: andreea’s home + dana’s bathroom

andreea_before
this home living room/dining room makeover comes from andreea avram rusu of avram rusu interiors in brooklyn. andreea and her team transformed this miami beach space into a bright, modern interior full of color and life. i tend to live a slightly less bright/modern lifestyle, but i envy homes like this sometimes for all of their simple, clean color. thanks for sharing, andreea!

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

dana_before
inspired by orlando’s striped floor tile makeover, d*s reader dana of vicariously lovely decided to use affordable vinyl tiles from lowes to redo the bathroom in her shop, scavenger home. dana cut the tiles to create long rectangles and then laid them out in a herringbone pattern to mimic the classic wood floor look. i think the result is really fantastic for the budget restrictions and send dana a big thumbs up for the great work. click here to read more about her process.

For the Miami space, I LOVE the colors (the pattern on those chairs is amazing!) and the clean, white shiny! BEAUTIFUL!

Much nicer after :) I love the fabric in the dining room chairs. Nice job!

Wow!
Further proof that you can get amazing results with cheap peel and stick tile!

Now if only my local hardware store had a better selection to choose from.

I’m soooo jealous of the Kartell chairs. I wish I could afford ONE.

January 14th, 2010 - 10:57 am

I love the glossy ‘after’, too! The rooms are brighter and modern. Would love such a great change in my home too :).

Wow- while I love nearly all the homes featured on D*S, it is great to see the Miami space- such a change from those usually featured, and really oozes that Miami vibe. It doesn’t get much more Miami than the Chiang Mai from Schmaucher ( I think that’s the chair fabric). Awesome job!!

I love it when someone gets modern right.

I am in love with those dining chairs, especially with how they tie in the beautiful glass shelf-backs.

I need to find some fabric like that. Any ideas?

January 14th, 2010 - 11:31 am

i love the miami home makeover!! i need to learn how to bring bright colors into my home. it feels so happy!

oh, i need to know where that fabric is from! i love it :D tried the schmaucher website as mentioned, but its not the chiang mai fabric. any other guesses? :)

January 14th, 2010 - 12:25 pm

I adore the wall of cabinets in the Miami shots. In fact, I think I have wanted a wall like that for around 25 years :-) Maybe someday…

January 14th, 2010 - 12:28 pm

Oh. I just realized the bathroom floor was vinyl tiles. Cool idea to use a herringbone pattern – and it’s a cute bathroom!

Does anyone know where the round rug came from? It’s so much fun!

The modern “after” is nice, but the “before” was actually more to my taste. The bathroom floor, though, is great!

Angela said:

Hhhmm… it’s not ChiangMai…and no manufacturer information here either…

Also those cabinets are fabulous. Very nicely done!

January 15th, 2010 - 2:57 pm

omg this is amazing!! LOVE IT! can you redo my whole house?!?!

January 17th, 2010 - 12:56 am

Nice transformation. I’m sure it’s easier to keep white floors looking clean in Miami than in most other places in the USA.

the living room transformation is unbelievable! a bit too modern for me. but wow!

January 17th, 2010 - 9:53 am

I love the high gloss walls and the chair fabric! Nice job.

Where did the chair fabric come from?

Dear Andreea,
Even if I said I Hate You in four languages (which I can) it still would not adequately convey my envy of this living room. Especially after seeing the “before” pics. The vibe is pure Miami Beach Deco, but its fresher than a lot I’ve seen and the scale is divine.
Lots of love,
Patrick
