Rehab Addict

This kitchen was more then an unfinished messed before Nicole and Lebron started their rehab on it! By adding new white cabinets, white subway tile backsplash, and nice contrasting black countertops with new stainless appliances this space creates a warm and inviting space to cook, celebrate and love life.

Nicole Curtis takes old abandoned homes and restores them to their former glory. This is the home office from her 4th street project where she updated the window, gave the room a fresh coat of paint and then outfitted it with an antique wood desk that keeps the decor fitting to the time period of the home.

After several coats of primer to cover the graffiti, the new dining room is warm and spacious with refinished floors and a raised ceiling. The ceiling is about 16 inches higher than when the project began. The greenery and antique furnishings really give the room color and time definition.

It's amazing what a fresh coat of point can do! This space as new life with new paint and floors that provides a warm and inviting feel for the entire family to enjoy!

A fabulous spot to retreat and relax was created for mom, Melanie, in the attic.

The renovated dining room is perfect for family dinners or game night. Allowing for plenty of light with the large window feature and paired with a light gray color palette, this room gives a soft, welcoming feeling.

To make this small room appear larger, Nicole used white in the decor for the windows, bedding, and walls. The large floor to ceiling windows allow plenty of natural light which helps too!
