Dining Room Remodeled #2

Prisilla Lake recieved an email from SUN Spokesperson and actress Starr Grey, asking for her services in remodeling her dining room. Lake jumped at the chance to be back in the actress's luxury home. Lake found that renovating the dining room would be lots of fun since she could go with a theme of stardom. The room is part of a larger room holding the kitchen and the dining room. The room was nicely designed with subtle elements and light colors used in the decor. Lake had to consider the Gray's children would use the room as well as Starr's celebrity friends. Lake decided to go with a custom design to match Starr's profession and name.



Lake decided to bring in more elegance and star style into the room. First she decided to use the neutral colors, royal red and gold trim in the room. Ripping up the carpet and wallpaper-she replaced them with cream beiges wallpaper with gold trim and deep brown carpet. Lake installed a custom carpet ultilizing the traditional star tiles and deep red carpet. She replaced the cheap counters with wood counters and placed some plants from other parts of the home into the room. As a finishing touch she added a large decor door salvaged from a theater.




In all Lake spent $5640 much of that going to the theater doors, custom rug and new counters. Lake managed to gain more money with the sale of the wallpaper and carpet. Lake recommends that you start with a theme to tie the room together rather then a color or wallpaper-as it is harder to get furniture to match. Also, spend most of your money on one centerpiece or main item.
