Before and After Images

Photographs showing before and after examples are so much fun to look at, aren’t they?

The photos that you are reviewing have all been from rooms that The Home Stylist has personally done. Please be aware that some decorators and real estate stagers purchase "professional" before and after sets to show examples of "what they can do". The rooms shown here are all from homes personally changed and/or via consultation with The Home Stylist.

Nearly all the rooms on these photos are clients whose decor and staging budgets have been extremely small (zero to $500 spent on decor). If you have a small decorating budget, The Home Stylist can do magic! If you don’t have a small budget, just imagine the style that can be added to your home.

I am proud to use the True Portfolio logo. These are photos of rooms I have personally worked on.

One Day Makeovers

The dramatic transformation for this room was a good job in decluttering and better lighting with better photograph.

Living Room - Before
This family was stuck in the 1990s. With black furniture and little accessories, the room looked cold.

Living Room - After
By the end of the decorating day, the room was cozy, and inviting. In this case all purchases totaled less than $1500. What a difference!

Dining Room - Before
This is a nice dining room, but what stands out are the tablecloths and lacy curtains.

Dining Room - After
With staging, the room's spaciousness and great windows are now featured.
