a beach before and after

this summer i worked with a family from raleigh on a condo they purchased as a rental unit at the beach. it came furnished, with all this terrible overdone oriental-inspired furniture which didn’t suit the beach at all. we had a tight timeline – about a month, and the budget needed to stay in the extra-reasonable range since the unit was going to be rented out only. we stripped out the carpet, put down a lovely beachy grey pergo floor, took out the popcorn ceiling, and i furnished the unit primarily with catalog purchases and a couple of shopping trips around town scouting for deals and statement pieces. here are a few before and afters (apologies for the iphone pics):
