This incredible home transformation that we bring to you
today discovered on Casa Abril is located in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Designed by interior designer and owner Ana Maria Queiroga, the need
for afacelift was to help meet the demands of the busy designer and
her husband. The young couple needed a place for pets and a small corner where
they could rehearse, since he is a musician and she accompanies him on vocals.
They are also planning on expanding their family with a baby on the way. The
couple searched for a year and a half for the perfect house, when they came
across this 2, 368 square foot (220 square meters) home that was in relatively
good condition. The home needed some work, so seven months later, spending
$124,000 in addition to $45,000 worth of furniture and objects, the home became
complete. The living room wall peeled back to reveal exposed original bricks of
60 years. In the social areas, ipe replaced the original stone flooring.
With plenty of striking colors, old pieces mixed with new and a plethora of
charming details, the ending result was a home that displayed tons of
personality, inside and out.
