THINKING OF STARTING A RENOVATION? TAKE A LOOK AT THESE DRASTIC TRANSFORMATIONS THAT ARE SURE TO INSPIRE YOU! BEFORE Homebuyers tend to prefer two full bathroom homes but in this condo project, there was not enough space to ex- pand this powder room into a full bathroom. Instead, we focused on making it an eye catching space that potential buyers would fall in love with despite the lack of a tub or shower! - The Property Stylist, www.thepropertylifestylist.com BEFORE A very simple renovation that replaced a few key items helped brighten the space and make it appear larger. We painted the kitchen cabinets white and added new applianc- es to create a fresh modern look. When renovating, use light colors and try to build a color scheme using elements that would be costly to replace like a floor covering. In this case, we chose to replace the floor with a cost efficient laminate and staged the space in complementary earth tones. - Fraser View Home Cleaning Services, www.fraserviewhomecleaningservices.com Styling your shelves correctly can make all the difference in a large space. Choosing a color scheme and grouping together items in varying heights, odd numbers and a mix of vertical and horizontal shapes to create a triangle creates a visually stunning display that optimizes the look and feel of your built-in. - Mint Condition, www.mintconditionstaging.com BEFORE BEFORE This bathroom seemed small and cramped but the layout of the main fixtures wasn't the problem. To make the room feel more spacious, we replaced the outdated built-in tub and step with a mod- ern freestanding tub and removed the arch that visually separated the tub area from the rest of the bathroom. This created a much more open and spacious feel without relocating any of the major fixtures! - Ridgewater, www.ridgewater.ca
