I like the updated look myself and I also was think this was about Lisa Robertson until I saw who that it was your post @lolakimono lol

I also liked the "before" rooms better!

I don't care for either one but at least the first one has some visual interest. I would love the "after" if there were some patterned (but not too much) pillows, area rug, window treatments and some artwork on the wall other than a horse pix.

As before pictures go, this one is not awful. However, I much prefer the after.

I am not crazy about the afters and the before pics are not that bad.

Well, some people like beige and some gray, so I suppose both are okay. I personally like the brighter, more open feeling of the "after" photo, though neither seems particularly appealing.

However, in both versions, did you notice how, in a big room full of furniture, there's not a single place to sit where you could easily set a cup or glass down, or prop your feet up? I can't imagine what in the world I'd use such a room for...it seems designed only for some kind of formal visiting. Shucks, I can't even have beloved visitors over these days!

So I'm kinda thumbs-down on both versions except as photos for a magazine article or 'gram post.

@KaySD That was the first thing that I noticed. I prefer the "after" picture though. I like that they reupholstered the couch (at least I assume they did) instead of buying a new one. I don't like tufted furniture though. If you have pets you have to vacuum them all the time, and still it's impossible to get them perfect. The pictures are hung too high in the last picture.

When I read the title of the thread, I thought it was photos of Lisa Robertson, before and after photo shopping and/or botox!

I actually prefer the before. It’s not perfect, but it has more personality. The after is too bland and grey. I love the horse artwork!

@wilma I agree. I don't really adore either of them but forced to pick, I'd have kept the first one. They really overpaid their decorator, if they used one. And, if they did, based on this, he or she isn't very talented.
