Before and After: A House, From Dated to Delightful

CasaSugar — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 08:00:01 -0700

I showcase a lot of inspiring Before and Afters here on Casa, but I must say I've rarely been more impressed with one than with what you're about to see. I came across Flickr user HottHoller's home remodeling project, and I was blown away. For the most part, her house had great bones, but the décor was seriously out of date, and in places, terribly kitschy. It also suffered from dated cabinets and finishes that simply won't fly in '09. So she took great care to make sure that each room was updated and had its own sense of modern flair. In one space, you'll be blown away by blue embroidery. In another, pops of yellow will make you smile. Prepare to be won over.

Before and After: Deanna's Admirable Craft Room Makeover

CasaSugar — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 09:00:08 -0700

Craftster member Deanna recently bought a house, and one of her first priorities was setting up a well-organized and workable craft room. She writes, "Naturally I chose the largest of the two extra rooms and started to get to work. The carpets were blue and new flooring is not in our budget right now, so I worked with them instead of against them. There was great space and lighting in this room, also a decent closet." Here's what Deanna started with. See what she has to say about how she created the perfect crafting space.

Before and After: Taking Advantage of an Underutilized Garage

CasaSugar — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 09:00:48 -0700

I've brought up the idea of using the garage for additional living space, so when I ran across the garage reno on Sunset, I knew I had to share the fabulous results with you. Architect Jonathan Feldman was brought in to help expand a San Francisco, CA, family's living space by using their garage. While a garage is a relative luxury in San Francisco, it's not actually a necessity, especially when the space can be used for something much better than simply storing an auto.

To see the transformation, read more.

Feldman's smart design turned the underutilized garage into a multi-functioning space for the entire family. The garage added an additional 400 square feet, which included room for an office, a guest bedroom, and a bath. It looks absolutely amazing. To find out more about this project, and 16 other great home makeovers, head over to Sunset for all of the details.

CasaSugar — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 09:00:41 -0700

Bathroom and kitchen renovations are often the most expensive kind. But with dated cabinetry and tiling plaguing homes across the country, they're also often the most crucial! Su Casa member Ckim8120 has taken the matter into her own hands, showing us that you don't need a contractor or a loan (!) to take your bathroom from simple to swanky. For well under her initial budget of $350, she transformed a spare bathroom into something that looks straight out of the pages of House Beautiful. You can do the same to your overlooked bathroom with just a few simple and affordable steps.
