A Striking Kitchen Nook Makeover With A Capiz Chandelier

When Ania sent us her delicious after photos (thanks to this mood board that we whipped up for her last month) we could not wait to share the eye candy! We know you folks enjoy a good before and after, and Ania did a faaaabulous job! Here is her letter:

Here are a few after pictures that I took for you! Needless to say, we ENJOY our new living and dining room area. I cannot believe I ever had doubts about the bentwood chairs or the media stand. They are honestly my go-to items that we purchased. We L-O-V-E everything. From the frame collage to the chandelier to the sofa table… everything! Thank you soooooo much for the design advice. It feels like a fully transformed space and we enjoy to spend time here. Remarkable! You two truly have a gift. You will certainly be hearing from me again. Oh man do I have some more ugly rooms for you! Best, Ania

Simply to refresh your memory, here are the before photos of the space:

Ania hoped a few new furnishings that felt less boxy and matchy-matchy to create a space with beachy, modern and glamorous touches. Here is the mood board we whipped up to assist add polish and breezy style to her living & dining room (find more details here):

But sufficient stalling. We know you are all about the afters. So here ya go:

Did not Ania do an remarkable job? What is your go-to part? We are torn between the especially lively medallion curtains and the new white pedestal table with the capiz chandy overhead. That whole breakfast nook simply leaves us breathless. I mean we knew that her space had fantastic potential but it is still unbelievable to see it all spruced up and polished looking. No more paper on the windows!

And did not she totally rock that charming L-shaped wall of frames that we described? We enjoy that she took the ball and ran with it. It is even better than we imagined! Plus it only took her a month to get back to us with after photos which is truly unbelievable. Let us shower Ania with praise for being so wonderful and sending us her eye-pleasing after pics. And here is hoping more Design Dilemma after photos will be landing in our inbox quite soon…

Update: We sadly can no longer find the time to take on client commissioned mood boards (we now whip up general inspiration boards instead) but if we ever reinstate them we will make a big announcement!
