We aren't totally finished our "not-so-extreme" make-over yet, but we are close enough for some "After" photos. I first posted on this project back on March 3 and considering we only had weekends and some evenings to work on it, we made pretty good time.

dover: What a Difference a Light Makes! Condo Transformation Part 6 - 03/18/08 07:16 PM
When it comes to "bang for your buck" nothing beats painting...however, coming in at a close second would be, my favorite improvement...updating the light fixtures. My experience has been that most sellers never even consider the light fixtures and what an impact they can make.
This is an area where a little money spent … (18 comments)

Welcome to Day Three of our "not so extreme makeover" renovations. Our transformation is moving right along. We now have a painted living room and a new front door.

It has seen some … (3 comments)
