Gunkelmans Interior Design Blog

Everyone loves a makeover – it gives us hope that something can be done for a dreary or outdated room, or space that just doesn't function for your needs.   Sometimes a simple coat of paint can dramatically change the look of a room, others may need a complete revamp to look the way you want.

We thought we'd share with you some dramatic makeovers that we've done.   They involved more than a fresh coat of paint and an accessory or two, but a fresh new look none the less.
