Condo clubhouse remodel

I’ve been teasing you for three months with hints of the Condo clubhouse remodel I have been working on. Guess what? It’s done! I worked with two great gals: Mary Wild was the general contractor and Arlynn Satz (seated) was my partner on this huge job. We almost had to much fun.

In a previous post I had written about the color scheme I had selected. Here is the complete “before and after”photos. I am hoping you will be able to tell the difference. 

The Entry:

We reused the glass tables by painting them a metallic bronze which unfortunately does not show up in the photos.

Bye, bye smoky mirrors…

Hello, fresh color!

All the wood headers were dark, dated and overbearing.

 Look at what simply painting them to match the trim did! They are barely noticeable now.

Another sitting room.

Now a workout room.

So dark and dingy!


A much better use of the space.

The mini kitchen area.

I would actually use this space now.

All of the dated appliances were on their last legs.

The useless hood was replaced with a microwave.

The Main Room

The existing artwork was reused since the signed modern pieces still looked fresh 30 years later.

All the popcorn ceilings were scraped bare and the wood “beams” taken down.

Bright and fresh!

In this job no walls were knocked down yet, it seems like a brand new space. The dark and stained carpeting was replaced with easy care tile.

By selecting a sunny wall color the rooms are now filled with light.

 The Bathroom

Worse than some gas station facilities.

 Clean and spa-like.

Amazingly, even with all the obstacles that this job presented, it came in a bit under budget. Later this week I will share how this look was achieved for less.

    Nice job, Laura! I do not envy the work involved in scraping popcorn ceilings! The colors are fresh and bright; love the green in the bathroom.

    Amazing! It sure did need updating and you did a fantastic job. I think painting those wood beam things was the best change!

    Wow can you guys come to my house and add some color? This place looks amazing. The floors, OMG. The kitchen and bathroom. I'm just speachless. The BF hates painting and keeps telling me white walls are relaxing. I have 20ft ceilings in one room, how the heck do you paint all the way up to the top without getting paint all over the place. I can't even change the bulbs on my ceiling fan. What were the builders thinking!

    Gorgeous! I especially love the restroom changes. I would have had a lot of trouble in there, since I can be a bit weird when it comes to using icky spaces.

    You did an amazing job! I bet your clients barely reckognize their space. Chapeau!

    Kudos to you, Laura!! You girls did a fab job!! I love the bright colors. Scraping that popcorn ceiling must have been a nightmare!

    I bet the new clubhouse is a big hit! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
