This kitchen's island and brick backsplash created the feeling of cramped quarters.
After: Kitchen
Designer Sara Story and her sister, Lisa, share a laugh in Lisa's much-improved Connecticut kitchen.
Sara banished the awkward upper cabinets—and dated wooden valance—from the wall with a pass-through window. She replaced the rest with sleek custom units and got rid of the hulking island. Sara also scrapped the bricks and installed plain Sheetrock, painted white.
The stainless steel appliances are by Fridgidaire and Maytag. But the best update? Barclay's apron-front sink.
Before: Den
Old carpet and narrow space indicated a much-needed update in this den.
After: Den
The makeover made sense of the den's narrow, bowling alley-like space by dividing it into two areas: one furnished with a sectional sofa and the cozy conversation spot shown here. Laid in a pattern of concentric squares, Marmoleum tiles help differentiate the two zones. The material's also far more practical than the old parquet and carpet.
Farrow & Ball's French Gray lightened up the dark ceiling beams, window frames, and door. Roman shades—in fabric by Hable Construction—introduce a cheery hit of blue.
Bright Idea!
No need to go whole hog with patterned fabric on the chairs, which have a just-right stripe instead.
