1. Freshen Up
It's common: You find a house on the perfect street, and you fall in love with it--the street, not the house. Patti and Claude
Perrier gave some TLC to a ranch-style house in their dream neighborhood--and now they have an incredibly stylish space. They
prioritized what they could live with and what could be covered up with paint. They had an advantage though. Patti, a designer,
knows tricks that don't require a total overhaul. Keep reading for her secrets.
One great feature of this 1950s Houston home: The large rooms flow from one to another. However, the lack of architectural
details is consistent from room to room too. Instead of adding such details, where they'd be a tad out of place, Patti removed
dingy carpet and gave everything a coat of creamy white paint, a nice backdrop to her antiques collection. Existing hardwood
floors add a rich feel.
