Trending on Remodelista: Lessons in Luxe

December 12, 2014

This week, Julie and team turned the mundane and practical into the luxurious. See how they sprinkled fairy dust on a grim guest bath, a tight budget, and a gritty alley–with fabulous results.

Above: Meredith checks in with kitchen design company Arjan Lodder Keukens and finds Sober Luxury by way of concrete floors, stainless steel surfaces, and floor-to-ceiling cabinets. For another hard-working, high-design kitchen, see Janet’s Calm in the Kitchen: The Amican Zen Multifunction Oven.

Above: One well-chosen light bulb, (Julie says no Edisons, please) is all you need to add romance to a space. See her 10 Easy Pieces, Festive Lightbulbs, to warm up “grim guest baths” and a “boxy living room.”

Above: Those joyful extras, stocking stuffers, get put to work this week. Meredith finds 10 Practical, But Pretty Ones that have staying power. And, most are under $20.

Above: Amid this week’s utilitarian practicality, Christine still manages a night out, at new Brisbane bar, the Super What Not. The formerly gritty alley was transformed to a lounge and bar, using reclaimed and raw materials for “a cost-conscious lesson in using what you’ve got.”
