While having the occasional afternoon of guilty pleasure on my parents’ couch watching cable tv, my favorite part of any HGTV show is the reveal. The best part is always where they cut screen between the before and after transformation. It makes sense then that I love walking into these lofts for the first time after a big move has been made (read: walls out!)
The big reveal last night was the first floor front apartment. It’s the one I felt had the least potential… it was dark, cramped (sectioned off into 3 weird small rooms), and felt really “basement-y” for lack of better terms. This space had originally been a store so we knew there was a chance for high ceilings. My fingers were crossed that we were right… because this place needed serious help. So, check it out… the reveal:
I may or may not have squealed with delight… check out the line of the old dropped ceiling vs. the original height. Standing in the middle of the space (messy as it is) it really felt good. This is going to make a great little loft!
