As a designer who specializes in restyling and redesign, I am always on the lookout for bargain finds. On one of my trips to a local Habitat for Humanity Restore, I found this $15 entertainment cabinet and a light bulb went off. I have been looking for something to use as a bar/ beverage center that would compliment my Kitchen eating area. I was so excited about the condition that I didn't think one moment about the weight. Trying to move the piece into the house was a beast! It took four of us to get the cabinet up the front steps on a dolly and into the house. It was not until I began priming the cabinet that I realized it was a "Broyhill" brand, which made this find even more of a bargain for such a quality piece. I did my usual visual inspection and got to work on carrying out my vision. I enlisted my husband's assistance to anchor the cabinet to a stud in the wall. The height and weight along with the addition of glass and other items created some concerns. Safety First! Once anchoring was complete, I was ready to go! What I love about a project is that I can visualize the end result before its complete. I ordered a few items that needed to be installed and used some leftover granite I had from a previous project. This project required primer, paint, cut granite, a wine rack (bargain deal at just $12), and a small wine fridge to complete the redesign. When all the finishes were added this project went from "Bargain find to Wine ReDesign"!

This project was was the result of a daughter wanting to surprise her mother with a holiday surprise. Mom’s house is always the place for the Eve before Thanksgiving traditional dinner. We had a consultation with her daughter to get more information about the personality and style of the makeover recipient. This transformation was done in 8 hours, using paint, restyling, organization with a few simple acessories. The makeover was “Just In Time for the Holidays. See the before and after and Mom’s priceless reaction! Another Happy Customer! Special thanks for courtesy project design photos & videos, S. Smith, Richmond, VA
In this makeover, we had a fun design experience with a big reveal for a little angel. My clients were grandparents who live in Texas, and their granddaughter from Virginia, who was visiting them for the summer. As a back-to-school gift they wanted to give her a fresh start that would be bright and airy capturing some of her personality. She loves to read and is becoming a Tweener, who is coming into her own and discovering her style. With an agreed on budget and just a few simple attributes about our little diva client, we had everything we needed with full creative control. The vision was to give this room a makeover that was big, bright and bubbly to match her personality. We worked with her father on the design criteria to start with a basic foundation of bedding furniture only. In the design we incorporated her love for bright colors with an accent of her favorite color purple. The design would not be complete without adding some special touches, like a personalized hand-painted sign and a display of one of her NaNa's warm sayings, "Love You More"! Let's not forget that every girl with style needs some necessities, like the perfect little diva custom-painted mirror and pretty boxes to hold her diva-rific styling tools. We created a space for her to read and journal and added a customized hand-painted message board for her fav diva notes. Taking all of this into consideration, we transformed this room into a "Back-to-school Little Diva Oasis"! [Update: The Little Diva loved her new space and didn't know what to look at first. What a great return home surprise to a special gift that keeps on giving -- Way to go Grandparents!] BEFORE: Basic Foundation ready to be fit for a Little Diva!
