builder beige to black beauty

My bff since 7th grade moved into a new home about a month ago and yesterday we

 had a great time taking photos to share with you. She took a basic builder model from
 beige to beautiful with several unique upgrades, and created a stunning one-of-a-kind home.

First, all the trim and doors throughout were painted black.
Standard builder lighting was replaced with unique fixtures.

Entry

An over-sized metal 'K' representing their last name.

Office 

She recently repainted this wood desk and bookcase unit black.

(The hardware is about to get a coat of gold )
The patterned carpet was a great choice for interest.
A gallery wall of her husband's sports memorabilia fills the space between the wall unit
 and ten foot ceiling.

Dining Room

Is that the most gorgeous chandelier? Such a statement!

If you haven't already seen it...Restoration Hardware.
A collection of mismatched black chairs adds a whimsical touch.

Family Room
The lively burst of color and sophisticated mix perfectly captures her personality.

Mud Room

The breezeway between the house and garage was enclosed to create this Mud Room.
Opposite is a convenient table and mirror for the back entry, not quite ready for photos,
it's about to get painted a bright color.

She painted the black & white stripes, I love this staggered arrangement she designed
using two different style hooks.

 Kitchen
The contrast of black lower cabinets and light uppers creates a dramatic yet warm
and inviting space.

Glass doors and staggered cabinet height were additional upgrades 

The chandeliers over the island are from Arhaus, the perfect balance of chic!

Didn't she do an amazing job creating a welcoming home filled with character?
