Su Casa member Anti Curl and her husband purchased a house about six months ago and, according to Anti Curl, it "honestly was one of the nastiest places I had ever laid eyes upon. I only wish the 'before photos' could convey just how neglected our home had been."

You've already seen the improvements Anti Curl made to her kitchen nook, so I thought we'd check in on her dining room transformation as well. Anti Curl started with this sad beige space.

To see her jaw-dropping changes, read more.

Anti-Curl writes, "We were very intimidated when we first moved in . . . as the room looked like a cavernous white abyss. The transformation started simply by purchasing the dining set and bookshelf. I knew the room was still missing something; it just felt like a white and wood blah. I knew I wanted to do something to make the items on the shelf pop, but I didn't want to paint the entire wall. One day while rummaging around Home Depot I stumbled upon 'caramelized orange' in a pamphlet and I decided to take a color risk with something bold. In an impromptu moment, I decided to frame it by going up as high as the window lines on the adjacent walls and four inches in from the remaining three sides."

Once again, I am impressed by how thoroughly paint can transform a space. Of course, replacing that nasty carpet with these honey-colored wood floors doesn't hurt any, either. Congratulations to Anti Curl for being able to see a diamond in the very rough home they purchased!
