Before and After: This and That

I cannot get enough of before and after shots of real makeovers, why because I love to see the end result of a once shabby, dull, boring room. I believe that every room in our homes have star appeal, if we care to adjust and give it the star quality it deserves. Try grouping of collectibles, or dust that rug up and make it a focal point in a room (with weather conditions and the dust to deal with in sri lankan homes, large and cumbersome rugs may not be practical, but try using the smaller ones where a weekly shot in the sun is all the treatment it requires), hang up pictures in groups, create a focal point of family photos, add at least one hardy house friendly plant, add an antique or simply give it a new coat of paint.

There are so many ideas to get inspiration from, so many do along the way tips that you simply have to go and check for yourself. See for yourself all the little details that have undergone the makeover, from the rugs, to the scones to the flowers, and to everything else.
