A sneak preview of the Before and After...

OK, OK....here are just a few photos of the redecorating done to the coach here in Elkhart.....
since it is not yet finished, you'll see a couple photos of the living area. Still to be completed are the new front window drape and the accent pillows in contrasting fabrics and the bedroom comforter, pillows and fabrics . When it is all put together, there'll be a complete "before and after" photo shoot!



Left: BEFORE The dining area and double J sofa, with upholstered valances and chair in the "Aqua Mist" original Monaco fabrics and the Aqua Mist carpeting!!

Left: AFTER: The dining area and double J sofa, with the Maple valances on the windows, black and taupe on the dining chairs, new maple flooring with taupe carpet on the slide out, and new accent fabric on the pillow, small gold pineapples on black fabric!


Left: AFTER Another view of the dining and sofa area with new valances and flooring

(Hint: I like pineapples!)

Left: A closeup of the accent fabrics: left side is Citadel Jet (used in the bedroom) and right is Welcome Black, the pineapple fabric used in the living and dining areas
So, there it is folks, or at least a part of it! (Especially for you, Terry! :) ) It has been a labor of love and for the most part, lots of fun, since we love doing this type of "renovating". The best part is that the green "Aqua Mist" carpeting is GONE....did I say that I am a happy girl??!
So, what do you think?????
Hugs to all!

It all looks fabulous, Bob and Molly. We are going to do the valences too. I think Terry is going to do them though. He did put in a third medicine cabinet for me and did a beautiful job. He just doesn't like doing drawers!

Safe travels!

Beautiful! What a difference the maple makes. You'll love that floor, too. Can't wait to see the bedroom.

I love the woodwork around the windows. I will see if Sherri let me do that to ours. It looks so rich. I hate the cloth around windows. Yours looks like a house now!!! Great idea. Love you floors too but he windows are my favorite.

Thanks for sharing

Wow!! Looks GREAT! And the couches look good too, almost new. You were right to put floor on at an angle, doesn't look like a bowling alley.
