Re: Connecticut Home Makeover

@jubilant  I'm sure I would have prefered the 'before' dark & drab original version before the makeover. I don't like white whatsoever.

It's bright, airy, and pretty.

I don't see the before.

No pictures of the before? I also would have probably liked that better.

Re: Connecticut Home Makeover

I really like the sitting room, the dining room, and that pretty sideboard!  Also the coffered ceilings.  I love when they give the paint names that they used-  "Dimity" by Farrow and Ball.   It looks great in those rooms.  The larger expanses looked a little too "echo-ey" for me, but over all, very pretty.

 

"New England Home" often has choice goodies, thanks for posting, @jubilant .

@proudlyfromNJ  @DREAMON     Sorry, I could not find any before pictures either. I did try. In the article (under the picture I posted) the designer describes why the new owner of this home wanted something  that was lighter and brighter.

It's nice and airy, although maybe too much white for me. I like white, but not so much of it. It is definitely nice spaces though.

I generally like the soft and light colors. A bit too much white in a few rooms. I'm not a fan of all the furnishings or the floral prints, but it looks airy, relaxing, and pretty.
