Some of my previous works. These have varied from smaller paint jobs to larger scale renovations. I promise to provide quality and precision.

Townhouse

This job involved preparing and painting walls, installing new laminate flooring and baseboards, as well as painting kitchen cabinets.

Floor and baseboards: before — Old floor and an interesting choice of double baseboard to hide the gap between floor and wall.

Floor and baseboards: after — New floor and baseboards installed.

Wall before — Wall after wallpaper was removed.

Repairing the wall in progress — Before painting the wall it needed to be properly repaired.

Repaired and finished wall — Wall after the first coat of paint once preparations had been done. Neat and even surface.

Taped wall ready for paint — Painting geometric shapes with the help of some masking tape.

Geometric shapes painted and tape removed — The result after tape was removed and paint dried.

Blank entryway wall — Plain entryway wall needed some loving as well...

Entryway wall art: tree silhouettes — After patching and some paint it turned into a piece of art.

White kitchen cabinets — Plain white kitchen cabinets. A fresh new look was requested.

Kitchen cabinets after a fresh coat of gray paint - small change that had a huge impact.

Detached house (50s)

These old beadboards do not reflect much light and made this space quite dark. Easy and cost-effective repair was to paint it over with white paint.

Old and dark ceiling beadboard — Darkened ceiling beadboards in a house from the 50s.

Ceiling beadboard after a fresh coat of white paint — After two coats of white paint the whole space brightened up.

Small Cabin at a Resort

A fresh new look and better use of space on a low budget were on the list for this site. Furnishing in the space was too big considering the size of it and everything was rather outdated and out of place.

Small cabin before makeover, view of the sleeping area — This small cabin at a resort was in desperate need of a facelift.

Small cabin after makeover, view of the sleeping area — Out with the old, in with the new - although as much was repurposed as possible. I altered the old bed cover to make it the same shape as the bed for easier and neater placement at the foot of the bed.

Small cabin before makeover, view of the corner with small fridge and flatscreen TV on top of it — Inefficent use of space...

Small cabin after makeover, view of the corner with TV mounted on the wall and folding table attached to the wall — TV mounted on the wall and a folding table added to make proper use of the space.

Small cabin after makeover, clever use of space by hanging folding chairs on hooks — Some clever solutions for conserving space: hooks atteched to the wall to hang folding chairs from when not in use.

Small cabin before makeover, view from sleeping are towards kitchenette — Kitchenette had been put together from leftover stuff. Barely anything was from the same set. Large chairs blocked easy access around bed.

Small cabin after makeover, kitchenette with new shelving and more coheisive look — Kitchen updated with new shelving and dishes. Bed now easily accessible from the other side as well.

Raised Ranch (70s)

A fresh new look, cosier feel, storage solution and a wall to give more privacy were on the list. Color scheme for the walls was gray. All furnishing and decoration, apart from curtains and the yellow cushion, were selected by clients.

View of the living room from dining area — Angle 1: Very few pieces of furniture but no storage systems.

View of the living room from kitchen — Angle 2.

View of the living room from dining area after makeover — A big seat was chosen to replace the old couch and the piano found a new spot. The space looks much fresher and brighter now. New double curtain rod installed and sheer curtains chosen to let light through even when drawn for some privacy.

View of the living room from kitchen after makeover — Simple storage solution to keep the space open and airy.

Old guard rail in the living room — The old guard rail had to go and a new wall was built to provide more privacy.

New guard rail wall — The new guard rail wall matches the style used elsewhere in the house. A wall this tall provides necessary privacy while keeping the space open and airy.
