These do-it-yourself homeowners labored for
several months renovating their house and expanding the second
level into a master suite. After months of living in a
construction zone, they were ready to furnish and decorate their
"new" house. Bright Ideas designed floor plans, design schemes,
and custom woodwork for the living room, dining room, guest
room, office/guest room, bathroom, and master bedroom. After
selecting paint colors with the homeowners, we devised a paint
schedule for their painter to follow.

Because the homeowners had very few furnishings they wanted
to keep, we itemized a room-by-room budget to keep the project
within the homeowners' overall budget. We incorporated several
shopping trips into the project to find the right furnishings
and accessories for each room.
Unhappy with the look of their old fireplace, the homeowners requested the design of a modern facade
to
accommodate a large television. Following our drawings, our carpenter
built a new fireplace surround and mantel and tiled over the
brick front and hearth. The result is a cleaner, more modern look that
provided room for electronics and freed up floor space. In
addition, he installed crown moulding in the living and dining
rooms. To enhance the dim lighting situation,
Chessie Electric
installed four recessed can lights.
