Before & After: A House on the Gulf

by hookedonhouses on October 31, 2009

family-room-before

Kellie Cashon, the talented designer behind Cashon & Co. Interiors, has given her home on the Gulf Coast a makeover from head to toe. Take this family room off the kitchen, for starters. That’s how it looked before (above). And here’s how it looked after Kellie transformed it:

Before (looking from the family room into the kitchen):

After (what a big difference the hardwood floors make!):

A closer look at the kitchen:

She took this corner of the family room, which wasn’t doing a whole lot:

And turned it into this lovely little nook:

You can see the rest of this Gulf House makeover and many more examples of her work on her website. Big thanks to Kellie for letting me share this with you!

Huge difference the hardwood floors make. :) It looks much softer and warmer to me. I really like the little nook she created!

Gorgeous! I’m in love with all the breakfast bench nooks I’m seeing lately. I want one. Taking that corner and turning it into a cozy eating area with eye appeal was genius. Thanks for sharing this.

Well, it’s a lovely home either way.

That said, I HATE stainless steel appliances and much prefer the tile floor to the hardwood (in this particular space). But, both the before and after look nice to me.

This is great! My parents are actually redoing their house on the Gulf in the exact same fashion – blue walls, white furniture, dark hardwood floors, white cabinets. It’s all the same, except I think their granite is a bit darker.

I love what Kellie did here!

Great makeover :-) The soft blue & cream colour scheme is so pretty and serene.

It’s amazing what a difference painting cabinets can make. I can’t wait to get ours painted!!

I think I can actually hear this house sighing with relief! I had a scary moment where I got mixed up and thought the “before” photo was actually the “after”…and then I DEFINITELY sighed with relief when I realized my mistake. She did a great job. I would love to live in that space.
