All the woodwork was painted a dark brown. So we had to deal with the issue of paint first.

Isn't it just amazing, the transformation? It has just been so much fun watching it come together.

We gave the designers some parameters. We gave them the base colors. But we didn't want to hamper their creativity.

It was always there, so we opened it back up. It will be great for entertaining with the flow between the rooms.

It had just been sitting there. Houses were meant to have people in them.

It sounds like to me it's a secondhand store.
