If there’s one thing I love better than home design, it’s looking at pictures of before and after home designs. I totally get sucked into those TV shows where they show you what the room looked like before, when it was decorated with bad wallpaper and wood paneling, to how it looked after the home owner spent $20,000 for some fresh paint and modern hardware.
And when I watch TV shows about home makeovers, I’ll sometimes check the Internet for before and after pictures – just to get ideas. Honestly – what I couldn’t do with a blank check and the right construction company! Our little bathroom could definitely use a foot or two (or five) of extra space. But I digress.
Here’s a lovely bathroom that started out with a bright pink that was a little too bright and well, too pink. Period.

And now the after. Sleek, elegant, and beautiful colors. Don’t you just love that tile!

***********************************************
Our next example doesn’t actually look that bad in its “before” shot – I’ve definitely seen worse. A little bland maybe, and it could do without the black sink, but overall not too bad.

Not too bad until we see the remodel – much better. Look at that gorgous shower and the cool silver lights. And I love the French doors in dark wood – beautiful.

This bathroom has definite potential with its great light, nice pedistal sink and white tile, but the black walls and lavendar trim don’t do it any favors.

With a little paint, some new mirrors and light fixtures, this bathroom is completely transformed.

**************************************
And now, the best for last. This bare room looks hopeless but has lots of potential.

Potential that was realized when the designer got hold of it and turned it into this beautiful and modern retreat. Look at that shower and those floors!! Definitely an impressive use of space.

So that’s it. My tour of before and after bathrooms. Batthrooms that make me drool and dream. Because you know how attractive drooling is…
If you could, what room would you remodel?
