Making a Makeover- Working with a great team

One of the reasons I enjoy working with CertaPro Painters is that I can trust them to take of everything- the paint, the hard to paint places, the homeowners, and their homes…

they care for their clients the way I do…

They keep going even when we’re clearly in the way!

I mean seriously- they can get anywhere…

Joe and Lisa Costa own the CertaPro branch here in Greater Lehigh Valley. They did a terrific job of managing their crew, caring for the homeowner, and working with my design ideas.

With everything under control, I was free to go shopping! You know how much I love shopping and decorating with vintage. For me, it’s not about being chic, it’s about re-purposing, updating classics, using what you’ve got… you know the drill.

ANYway, I found the coolest pieces at this little antique shop on my trip. They gave me the perfect idea for this family.

This little video explains it better…

CertaPro Painters Makeover- Take 2

So, it all starts here with the ‘before’ photos of the rooms…

Entries like this can be tough to navigate when it comes to color...

I'm not sure why people don't think to paint their stair rails- I can't wait to get my hands on these!

The homeowner creates beautiful vignettes, but they'd look better against gorgeous paint colors...

The dining room has a pretty eclectic mix of styles... I especially like the Windsor chairs.

And while CertaPro Painters do the heavy lifting painting the two-story entry I'm going to tackle this cute little heirloom cabinet...

And that little red country number over there.

What would you do with these rooms? What colors would you choose for the walls? I’ll give you the run down of my plan tomorrow, so… until then… see you tomorrow.
