Happy Monday!
A few of you said you’d like to see more Pick My Presto features here this year, and it reminded me to mention that if anyone wants to send me a photo of a room they’d like me to “presto change-o”, you can always send it to LaylaPalmer (at) aol (dot) com.
…and speaking of Pick My Prestos, remember the one I did for Sarah at Cozy.Cottage.Cute a while back?
She sent me this before photo of the fireplace wall in her basement…
…and this one that showed where they were at with their renovation at that point:
Here’s the Photoshopped picture I had fun putting together for her…
…and here’s where they’re at now!
As you can see, they added white-painted wood planks to the wall, and finished it off with tile on the hearth and surround. Doesn’t it look great? 😀 Her post mentioned that they still need to add trim to the floor where the tile meets the wood, and a mantel and corbels, but wow is everything looking great!
Here’s a close up of the pretty laminate flooring they installed…
Sarah said that it’s Reclaime laminate wood flooring by Quick-Step in the color Mocha Oak.
What a great tone and I love how wide the planks are!
Alright…off to finish watching Season 1 of “This Is Us”. Season 2 starts tomorrow night (on NBC) and after binge-watching the first season this weekend, I am officially hooked!
Have you been watching it too?

Can we submit a Pick My Presto to you via email? I have a fireplace/window combination in my family room that we want to re-work and have no idea what would work in there.
Yep! My email address is up there in the first paragraph, sweet Randi! 😉
The room is looking so good…and completely unrecognizable! And love This Is Us, but prepare yourself…that last episode was a doozy!
I love the presto change-o room photos, it helps to be able to visualize what a room could look like.
This is Us is a great show, right?! It’s my favorite show this year? Glad you like it too!
The room looks so much bigger and brighter! What a beautiful (and cozy!) space. These types of posts are so fun. Also, I think I’m the only person who hasn’t watched This Is Us. I binge watched Parenthood all at once (right after having my baby, I cried like said baby at the last episode) and sort-of want to do that same for This Is Us. But, I realize that could be years from now so I should probably just do the same as you.
Shannon-Oh my gosh!! Wasn’t Parenthood the best?? It is a must watch for every mama! I think about re-watching all the seasons sometimes. lol Layla–you must watch this show!
Oh yes, I was a big fan of Parenthood too, Kristin! 🙂
I follow Sarah and I was amazed with the before and after! It looks soooo good! Your design ideas were right on! Hmmm…we will be moving at the end of the school year and the selection of homes is not the best. I made need some presto–chango help.
Oh my word! What a transformation! I have one small thought though–I wonder if they painted the railing black, would that help tie in the stairs and the wood burning stove? The space looks so bright and airy! I just became a fan of white balusters and black railings.
