Two of our readers sent in photos of projects they completed after being inspired by our blog, and we were thrilled to see the results.
First up is Erin’s dining area, now sporting a CB2 pendant that she hung above her table. She chose the green version of the linen-colored fixture we featured, and it looks right at home over her dining space.

Elvira in Washington, D.C. also shared photos of her front door refresh. Here’s her entryway before she added some color:

She brightened things up by painting the door Fabulous Red — the glossy Valspar shade we used when we refreshed our brick rancher’s entrance — and the transformation is striking. A few coats of paint made a dramatic difference.

Thanks so much to Erin and Elvira for sending such lovely photos. We always enjoy seeing reader makeovers—especially when we get to admire the results from afar. We’d like to feature reader redesigns more often, so please feel free to send your before-and-after shots to [email protected]. We can’t wait to see what you’ve done.
