I cannot believe how gorgeous the result is in this project. Your client must be so happy with it. Everything looks relaxing and elegant. It's the perfect combination! I so love your work, and I am always appreciative of how you do these "before and after" posts so we can see the transformation that occurred! Bravo!

Thank you, Alexandra for the amazing feedback on this project. Means a lot to us. Re wall colour request from other poster, that info has been archived.

Very pretty. A lovely space for people to gather.

I wonder how practical some of these finishes are for a community space with family events going on, kids running around, and chairs being moved about. I can imagine the mirrored tables and light sofas getting damaged or well worn pretty quickly.

@ carolbrandywine Thank you for your comments and feedback. The mirrored tables in the basement are actually a soft aluminium with rounded corners so they are safe for knees and children. The light furniture might not have been our first choice either, however all of the furniture, artwork and (most) lighting was generously donated by one of our suppliers and this was the only fabric available to us. We chose everything in the project from their beautiful collections. So far, so good! No damages to children OR furniture. The children also have a separate play area not shown.

Happy to report that three years later, this centre is still as pristine as it was the very first day. Pride in one's community space goes a long way!

I really hate the black and white photo look of these rooms. A grayed out world is not one I want to be in.

@arcy_gw - This is a before and after forum to showcase interior design transformations versus a survey for whether it suits your personal taste. Our objective was to create a restful, neutral space for worship and community gatherings from a dilapitated bungalow as per the client's design direction (and not yours, with all due respect).
