Now in these, I like all the afters

I like the second and the third. The first one is in a time warp with that border around the ceiling.

The only pix I like is the before of the kitchen. The rest all need a redo!!

@stevieb, these before and afters are fun! The second (Master) bedroom is much improved! Has a sophisticated, worldly vibe now.

Wonder why in the first green bedroom, they went with a wallpaper border?? The before was bad, but the after veers too far toward "cutesy". A few tweaks and it would be great.

Of course the kitchen is better, but it has that cookie- cutter, stark-white-and-one-color, plus brass fittings, that has become so expected. Still I give them points for tackling that dismal "before"!

The first after didn't need the wallpaper border.

The first bedroom before and after look very dated to me.

The second bedroom-the after is better but I don't care for wall hanging behind the bed.

The kitchen- the first could be very nice with a few additions-pendants and plants etc, the after is very as is.

They're all so much fun to look at, thank you!

The improvements were very well done, but the wall paper border was too much. I love the little carved trunk in the master bedroom.

I think all of these are great. Classic, lovely choices!

WOW!! all those 'afters' make a remarkable difference!

Definitely in the minority here but I love the after in the first picture, even the border. Love the pink and green too.

In the master I don't like the before or the after. So much could be done with the large room to make it more appealing. Everything about it looks wrong to me.

The before kitchen is way too white and blah. The after is an improvement. Don't care for the lights but love the windows.

To me they are all horrible both in the befores & after, especially both bedrooms. Can't say which is worse!

Definitely different vibes between before & after so a change was certainly made!

The traditional styles in the bedrooms aren't my thing, but it's amazing how much they improve with a little color and pattern in the fabrics.

@stevieb ... I LOVE the second green bedroom. It's all the little things like patterned window shades that appeal to me ... the pictures on the wall are what I like ... the lamp size and color ... just love it all. The kitchen with that shade of blue everyone seems to be using along with the gold hardware is beautiful !! It's good to know what you like ahead of time ... when my ship finally does come in I'll have no problem telling my newly acquired decorator what to do in my newly-acquired hurricane proof home on the gulf side of Florida ... I'll send pictures !!

I like all the after bedrooms and kitchen. I do love roomy bedrooms so the master bedroom is my favorite.

Master bedroom and kitchen makeovers are both really nice!

Re: Some More Before and After...

@Oznell I tend to agree with your earlier summary that each room (on both threads, I think) probably benefited to some extent from the makeovers. That said, I have to admit that while some nice changes were made, I wasn't overwhelmed by this re-do. That said, there are a few other rooms where it's a bit more clear that a makeover was past due and where the improvements, while always a matter of taste, did make a positive difference.

The 1st bedroom both look very dated

The 2nd bedroom, I don't care for the wall decor

The kitchen looks good in both the before and after to me, depending on what type of look you are going for.

The before kitchen just needs some decor and color

The after looks really good as well!

Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of all three "befores" or "afters". The second bedroom is a little better though.
