After Dinner Design

After-Dinner Design - yes, please. It's like dessert for a DIY'er, right? No! It's Christina's blog but just as yummy as dessert. After-Dinner Design = An ongoing blog following a young married couple as they renovate their railroad apartment in Brooklyn, New York. Both husband and wife work full-time jobs each day, so almost all of this project will be accomplished between 8:00-12:00 each night-- hence the name: After-Dinner Design!

Here are some of her amazing DIY projects:

Her living room is stunning. I love the neutral but sophisticated result...

My favorite detail is the picture frame moulding.  Framing framed art is so subtle but makes a big statement. It says "Pssst. Look here, I'm special."

Here was the space before/in progress...

And as if it wasn't pretty enough, they added a punch of charm by painting a fun checkerboard pattern on the floor of their amazing apartment (one of my very favorite DIY projects)...



I LOVE this chair makeover:  The Upholstered Chair Hall of Fame

Lovely after..


A beautiful accent piece for her gorgeous bedroom...
