Before & After

Bethesda Home Remodel Before + After

May 12, 2017
  • Share

I like a good “before and after” post. The whole fun of seeing a well designed room or home is checking out what it looked like before someone took care and time to make it look awesome.  See this Bethesda, Maryland home designed by Ella Scott Design as case in point.  A once drib drab traditional interior that looked like it was designed in the 1970s was updated to look modern fresh and livable.  High contrast, brightened up and tailored finishes make this updated space top notch.   You won’t believe what this home looked like before Ella Scott Design worked on it…take a look…

BEFORE – The home’s staircase was very traditional and dark.

AFTER – the foyer is modernized with new railings, light white paint and black shiny front door.

What do you think of this before and after?  Do you like the changes or would you stick with the old?

    Hi! Amazing design! Could you tell me the brand / name of the light fixture above the kitchen island?

Drapes or no drapes? 👀 One room, two very differe Drapes or no drapes? 👀
One room, two very different feelings.
Without the drapes, the space feels bright, open, and minimal. Add the drapes, and suddenly there’s more softness, warmth, and texture.
This was one of the details we loved playing with in the COCOCOZY Design House. Sometimes a simple window treatment can completely change the feeling of a room.
Which would you choose for this space: WITH DRAPES or WITHOUT? Tell us below. 🤍
Paint gets all the credit. Wallpaper does the actu Paint gets all the credit. Wallpaper does the actual work.
Delicate florals in a powder room, a full-envelope ikat entry, a moody botanical pantry, a pattern bold enough to wear the whole room — six spaces, zero fear of commitment.
Which one would you live with every day? Drop your answer 👇

Seven rooms that all get the basics right: good light, a table with presence, chairs you’d actually want to sit in for two hours.
Which one would you set the table in tonight? 👇

Alexis Banks Humiston didn’t just design this 9,20 Alexis Banks Humiston didn’t just design this 9,200 sq ft Nashville home, she moved in with the family for two days first.
She interviewed everyone, including the 6 and 8-year-olds, before touching a wall. The payoff shows up in the details: a hand-painted constellation ceiling in the son’s room by @willemrackestudio, a floral canopy bed for the daughter, and a hidden reclaimed-wood bar tucked into the attic eaves.
Every room feels like it was made to be lived in, not admired.
