TUSCAN TRAGIC GETS A MAKEOVER

HELLO THERE!

SORRY ITS BEEN SO LONG..........................BUT HERE IS A FEW PICTURES OF OUR LATEST RENOVATIONS TO BE LOADED ON THE WEBSITE SHORTLY.

A TUSCAN MANSION WAS TO BE TRANSFORMED INTO A MODERN COASTAL ABODE FOR A SINGLE MIDDLE AGED MAN AND HIS PARTNER, ON THE BEACH AT LOVELY SORRENTO WA.

first we look at the after shots...................then scroll down to see the before shots..............then scroll up again to see the difference!! You wont believe it! What was once a Tuscan dungeon , dark tired, old and very unfashionable..........is now a modern coastal, gorgeous pad for a single guy who loves the beachy lifestyle and wants to LET THE LIGHT IN TO HIS HOME!

to give you an idea of what I was faced with on the first meeting- there were apricot tiles ( i was told they were to stay- at no point could I convince him to get rid of the tiles!) tHEN THERE WER CURTAINS- TOO MANY, TOOOOOOO FUSSY, TO HEAVY , TOO OLD!!

AND PAINT COLOUR WAS RED, ORANGE , RUST , RED , APRICOT- YUK YUK!

 

THIS IS ----- THE NEW ENTRY HALL!

THE NEW OUTSIDE FRONT

 

THE FRONT FACADE.

 

 

 

JUST TO GIVE YOU A RUN DOWN ON THIS STORY- THE OWNER HAD BEEEN DIVORCED A FEW YEARS AND THE KIDS HAD MOVED OUT- SO THERE WAS VERY LITTLE DONE IN THE LAST TEN YEARS HERE...........

there had been no changes to this house for over 15 years and it reeked of the eighties in a bad way with loads of Tuscan accents that were just heavy, dowdy and full on out dated and OLD!!

LIVING ROOM

BEDROOM- DAGGY RED WALL AND TIRED LINEN

UPSTAIRS SITTING ROOM- HEAVY DRAPES HIDE THE VIEWS

FRONT FACADE- ONE DIMESIONAL- NO ACCENTS

THE KITCHEN AND LIVING- LOTS OF RED AGAIN!!

UPSTAIRS SITTING ROOM- EIGHTIES FABRICS DATE THIS ROOM

CURTAINS GALORE- NEED  I SAY MORE?

PILLARS IN THE DINING ROOM FORMAL- TILES WE DID NOT CHANGE

FORMAL LIVING ROOM AND ENTRY- THE FORMAL LOUGE WAS ABISMAL

MEALS AREA- VERY SAD- OLD FURNITURE- NOT NICE?

 

BEFORE OUTSIDE THE FRONT. TUSCAN. DRAB.
