We're Not the First! Hurray!!
Category: Daily Diary
We are not the first people to try recreating a craftsman style living room out of next to nothing. Behold! A living room in a stucco bungalow that had been modernized before Michael FitzSimmons Decorative Arts brought it back to life:
And then after:
There are lots of other really great before and after photos on the site of rooms that FitzSimmons has done.
Okay. So. It CAN be done. IT CAN! We will do this.

Wow! That's an incredible transformation. Hope mine looks half as good when I get done.

Why, WHY would someone remove beautiful stained glass and a fireplace in favor of, what, more wall space for a couch and glass block windows? Argh. Your living room is going to look fantabulous, if that photo is any indication. Glad to see your hope has been restored, if not yet your fireplace, built-in bookcases and piano windows. :-)

man you see so many disasters that it's nice to, once in a while, see some heart-breaking mess un-done.
