And I could tell you a whole long story about how this green
carpet went up the
stairs and down the hallway towards the bedrooms but the bedrooms have
neutral carpet that didn't need replacing and that the green
carpet was also in the office, living room and dining room but we have hardwood floors in the kitchen, slate in the entry / hallway / downstairs bathroom / laundry room and fairly new
carpet in the family room meaning our home essentially had flooring schizophrenia and I just couldn't figure out how to make the most of our budget and still get the look I wanted.
Oh my goodness... I think IF she plans on keeping it and not tearing it down and starting over, paint the outside, keep the white, do black shutters and a great color for the front door or get a new solid wood one, 2nd... on the inside, seeing that J Lo transformed her husband's NY place into more modern fare, I think that she would definitely add color (all the walls are white) in the lighter
neutrals, reverse the dark stained wood molding in the sitting area around the ceiling and windows into something lighter to coordinate with whatever wall color she chooses or white, 3rd... she would remove most of the colonial furniture pieces, especially sofas and chairs, and add something with more interest, 4th... holy cow... that red
carpet on the
stairs would definitely go and she would do hardwoods, 5th... kitchen and FR complete overhaul, I can see her doing 2 different seating areas in the FR and gut the kitchen..
