Glamming Up Grandma's House: The Den

I messed up and didn't get any real before pictures on this one-- I will see if I can dig up a pre-existing one somewhere.

There is a laundry list of things happening in the den-- it was actually more of a cave. Really dark paneling, heavy window coverings, etc.

There is a laundry list of things happening in here:

Sheetrock repair
Paneling is being sealed and painted
New doors to the bedroom and bathroom
Windows and doors are getting trim to match the existing trim in the rest of the house

This is the room with a coat of primer- imagine that everything used to be dark brown.

Windows in the den now have trim around them! Since the back part of the house is an addition, it did not have the same details as the original. I had my contractor frame out all of the windows and doors so that it feels like a continuation of the house and not an addition.

Excuse the mess, just look at the framed case opening!

This is the first coat of the actual 'color' - Simple White (SW7021)

Instead of the 'Den', I now dub this my 'Sunroom'-- probably needs a few more windows but whatever.

Tada! This hallway was cramped with video shelves, there was no framing around the doors and everything, walls and doors were dark brown.

The den is now a bright, open living space. Done in a week! Hooray for amazing contractors-- if you are in Houston and need painting or remodeling services, hit me up for my guy's info!
