all it takes is a lot of money (and someone with good taste to design it)
Jeanine Hays and Bryan Mason, a husband-wife duo of professional interior designers who work under their brand, AphroChic, say everyone should start transforming their place by selecting a style; thinking of the entire home with a unifying theme will promote unity and harmony. "It can be as simple as choosing casual instead of formal or traditional instead of contemporary," Hays and Mason wrote. "From there, you can refine it to a more specific style, such as French country, Tuscan, modern Victorian, or shabby chic."

Another principle is balance—distributing visual weight. "You can do it symmetrically, as is common in traditional interiors, or with asymmetrical balance as seen in casual interiors."
"Within each room, there should be a focal point. In a living room, it could be a fireplace or a piece of art. It sets itself apart by scale, color, or texture," the couple explained.
To add visual interest to a room, think of contrast and variety. "Keep a rhythm in mind with repeating elements of the same color, texture, or pattern, and a progression of sizes or colors."
An essential part of interior design is choosing a color palette. You could have a different style and color scheme in each room, but often you will want to tie the whole dwelling together. Think what colors and patterns would suit a small room as well as a large one.
"Mixing patterns in home decor is one of the more advanced parts of interior design," Hays and Mason said. "Patterns do not have to match, but they need to complement and coordinate with each other. This is done by considering color, size, and scale."
Just remember that nobody was born with the ability to reimagine a room. Settling on furniture placement, wall hangings, as well as rug and accent choices is something you can learn over time!

When I was young I had fantasies about doing this. Nice to see someone who actually did it!

I really like the makeovers, but it seems less "before and after design" but more like "before and after huge amounts of money". I'd like to see some redisigns made with a small Budget. ;_;

Not a big fan of stucco, but this looks nice and clean in white with black? slate gray? trim and roof.

Oh yes! A pool is another thing I want. Doesn’t need to be Olympic size either. Not sure of the length of this one, but long enough for laps and wide enough to turn is good enough for me.

Almost a complete demolition and rebuild. But it's nice to see the old large building still standing with it's cobblestone addition. They did a fantastic job blending old with new. I especially love the brick walkway and how they built up the stone wall to the right of the outbuilding.

The ground in the first picture seems very uneven. What a terrific use of landscaping.

I think of a makeover as something you can do with a little money and some hard work. These are renovations - with huge budgets. Strange title, but some cool spaces for wealthy people!
