Old Cloverdale House Renovation – Living Room, Playroom, and Half Bath Reveal

Aug 24, 2014 By Layla

I’m soooo excited to share some more of Ashley’s before and after photos today! You remember my friend Ashley, right? The one who bought this falling-apart (and full of cats!) fixer:

Well, she and her hubby are officially done fixing it up!

Kevin and I had so much fun taking pictures when we were over there the other day. Our photos really don’t do it justice though- this place is full of so many gorgeous details and textures!

Here’s a before and after look at the living room:

Pretty incredible, huh? 😀

Here are some of my favorite details in this room…

I seriously could’ve added 100 more photos to this part of my post though. I was like a kid in a candy store in there with my camera! 😀

Here’s the view looking toward the kitchen from the front door…

Those shutters on that sliding track open up to a playroom for their kiddos:

Ashley used an inexpensive slipcovered sofa from Ikea in this room so she could bleach it whenever she needs to.

In between the living room and playroom, there’s a little pass-thru…

…that leads to a half bath:

Don’t eeeeeven get me started on that sink she found at Scott’s in Atlanta. (#MollyShannon #JeannieDarcy)

I just stood there and started at it for a while before hugging it goodbye. 😉

    I wonder what it would take to convince my hubby to see what is hiding up under the stucco ceiling in our living room 😉 Beautiful!

    Hi Layla:)
    Absolutely stunning! Do you know the color of paint that was used on the walls in the half bath ?

    Thanks:))))))

    I love the curtains in the playroom! Where are they from? Or where is the fabric from?

    The transformation is beautiful…makes me want to move in!! Could you please tell me where they got the sliding door hardware? The styles I have seen advertised have large metal pieces to attach the door, this one is very simple…I really like it.

    Thanks in advance for the info!

    Thanks for highlighting this awesome transformation! Curious about the ikea sofa…the link doesn’t work properly. Could you provide more details about it? Did she have a custom slip made for it?

    • Layla

      Aug 25, 2014 at 5:06 pm

      There isn’t a link, but I don’t think she had a custom slipcover made, Wendy. I’ll double check with her though! 😀

        so weird…your word “inexpensive” is hyperlinked for me, but it goes to the app store for something that has nothing to do with Ikea…probably just spam on my computer. Thanks for asking her, though!

    Absolutely unreal.

    Can you provide information on the IKEA sofa? I don’t see that they make a two cushion version of the white slipcovered sofa. Thanks!
