redesigninaday – Re-Design In A Day (The Store)

Kitchen Reno-Part 2 (The Wall Came Tumbling Down)

After months of planning, demo day finally arrived. Our kitchen contractor (Enrique Bonilla of Bonilla Home Service in Alexandria, VA) arrived bright and early to start renovations and after a few hours…..

Two rooms became one,

cabinets came out,

and walls were taken down to the studs.

And after a few weeks, new drywall went up,

new flooring went down and a dark jacobean stain was applied.

My next post will feature the finished kitchen but here is a sneak peak…..

Cabinets, lighting, back splash and storage, oh my!

Thanks and Happy Decorating!

Farmhouse Cabinet (SOLD)

Painted Furniture

In another lifetime, this cabinet started out as a mid-century modern piece of furniture (left). But after a custom mix of CeCe Caldwell’s Dustin Gulf Green and Chesapeake Blue paints, this modern day “farmhouse” cabinet is now ready for a 21st Century Home! I painted the interior a neutral gray (CeCe Caldwell’s Seattle Mist) so dishes and accessories are highlighted!

Available at maggie jane’s brownstone in Old Town Alexandria, VA. (SOLD)

Pentagon Table with Marble Top

Painted Furniture

This table has a great marble top and a beautiful tulip shaped base but the dark stain (left picture) made it hard to see these features. To highlight the beautiful detaiIs, I used CeCe Caldwell’s Pittsburgh Gray, then distressed along the shape and lines.

This unique piece would be lovely in a foyer, living room or bedroom and is available at maggie jane’s brownstone in Old Town Alexandria, VA.
