| Before and after views of the living room in aWashington D.C. townhouse that was recently totally remodeled and redesigned! (above) |
Here’s a never before seen BEFORE & AFTER look at a home featured in the May issue of House Beautiful magazine!
The “after” was created by Los Angeles designer Hillary Thomas of Hillary Thomas Designs, New York designer Jeff Lincoln and architectural firm Franck & Lohsen Architects in a bi coastal collaboration on a multi million dollar 1960’s townhouse in Washington D.C.
House Beautiful did a lovely story on the completed project after the designers took to it. But, here on COCOCOZY, for the first time, you can see what the home looked like before it was remodeled, re-designed and re-imagined by the design and architecture team.
The newly envisioned home now features design touches that makes each room stand out – including golden wallpaper, painted ceilings, Murano glass pendant lights, colorful tile and so much more.
It has been ages and ages since I’ve done a post showing pre-remodel vs. post. So today, I’m happy to bring you this BEFORE & AFTER!
Thank you to Hillary Thomas Designs partner and Co-Founder Clara Hendon for sending me the before photos. So appreciate it…thank you for thinking of COCOCOZY!
Readers, what do you think of this Before & After transformation? What is your favorite new element? Do tell!
Happy Wednesday!

P.P.S. Design Non Sequitur – Was chatting with my neighbor JH when I got from home from work last night. Someone drove by us and JH waved and yelled “Hi Beverly”. I said, “Who’s that?”. Our tiny street is a dead end and there are just a few dozen houses on our street so I wanted to know who was driving down our little trail. JH said, “Don’t you know? That’s Beverly. Beverly Hill. She’s lived on the street forever.” Apparently I have a neighbor named Beverly Hill! Couldn’t Google her because only thing that came up was information on the city Beverly Hills. Then JH went onto say, “I used to know a woman named Holly Wood too.”. Hmmm…

What a nice makeover. I especially liked the back-splash in the kitchen.
I love the unexpected blush color in the solarium. Thanks for sharing:)
Beautiful! I really like the turquoise backsplash in the kitchen. Excellent post 🙂
SO great to see the before pictures with the after pictures. Makes me remember what a huge job this was…:) Thank you for the post! XO – Hillary
Hi Coco,
Wow these rooms are beautiful! Each room kept getting better and better, I love the new kitchen backsplash and the bedroom. The wall colours are fantastic. That story about Beverly Hill is funny. Wonder if her parents lived in Beverly Hills too when they had her. I think you should get a pie and go visit your famously named neighbour! Or better yet bring her one of your candles.
Looks like you have alot of reading with all those entries. Your throws are gorgeous so it`s no surprise.
🙂

I think the colors in the after pictures are so Fresh!!! I love the lucite bar stools : )
Wow! Amazing transformation! Especially love the dining room. Thanks for sharing 🙂 I always love what you have to offer us every day, thank you!
I really loved this in House Beautiful but to see the before’s makes it even better! I thought the “after” dining room is one of the prettiest rooms i’ve ever seen! I bet it is a photo that will circulate for some time and make it’s way into a design book or two. I wish I could enter it and have a cup of tea with my family or with some dear girlfriends. I don’t mind the “before” living room, but the “after” is incredibly sophisticated and stunning. I grew up in D.C. and know the style and this is really an amazing interpretation of what will be timeless but so very NOW. Kudos to the talent that did it and to you Coco for allowing me to appreciate it even more. There is some very good design education in the before’s and after’s and I’m paying attention!
Wow! Gorgeous! I particularly love the dining room and that beautiful kitchen tile.
I love the dining room wallpaper and chandelier and that amazing back splash in the kitchen! Just fabulous!!
