Hi everyone! Have my fellow Canadians been following Sarah's new series, Real Potential? At first I was a little sad that there is very little air time designated to the actual decorating, but I'm actually getting into it! The network wanted Sarah to focus more on real estate and less on décor to draw in the male viewers, so it's definitely different than her past shows, but there is always so much to learn from her no matter what the format. Here's a dining room makeover from a recent episode that was quite stunning, first the BEFORES!
This was the view when you first walked in the home:
Looks kinda like a bar or a reception desk right? I couldn't figure out how she was going to solve that nasty half-wall without completely knocking it down! On the other side of the half-wall is the dining room:
So the smart cookie that she is, Sarah opted to place a series of 3 antique lead glass window panes and close in the opening, the end result was beautiful, the picture doesn't do justice:
Great idea right? And the entire room was sophisticated and light-hearted:
The homeowners even got a bonus gift from Sarah! The dining room flows into the adjoining kitchen, so Sarah opted to continue the floor stain and paint in there, as well as replace the backsplash. Cheap fixes that make a WORLD of a difference {I wish they posted a kitchen before shot, think peachy cabinets!}
Canadians, be sure to tune in on Thursday nights, and US viewers will hopefully be able to watch the series shortly as well!
