I fought the wall...
May 14, 2012
This makeover makes me want to take a sledgehammer to my house so bad, and I don't even have any wackadoo blue walls begging to be demolished. I mean, look at at that thing! What was its purpose in life? To block the unattractive kitchen with its heightened powers of extra-unattractiveness? To terrorize the citizens of this home and their chi with terrible feng shui?
But soon a new sheriff moved to town, and her name was Tyrell. Tyrell had set her sights on that wall since day one, and finally pulled the trigger, leaving in her wake a demolished peninsula, pantry, soffit, and the remains of her low hanging cabinets as well. Then she restored order and harmony to the space with a beautiful open-layout that literally gleams. She even hung her star on the wall so no one ever forgets who's boss around these parts. See more on her blog A Touch of Tyrell.

That is unbelievably amazing!!!! I kept looking at the before and after...comparing the crown molding, ceilings, and doors to make sure it was the same rooms!!! Wowee! It is beautiful!!! I'm now looming at my walls in a whole new way. And I cant get the song out of my head...."I fought the law and the...."
looking at my walls....but I could eventually "loom" over them

What a perfect before and after!
TRULY impressive and gorgeous!
Fantastic. What a difference NO wall makes!!
BEST BEFORE/AFTER TO DATE!!!!
Okay now that is seriously fantastic .. just gorgeous what a change of colour does! Well done! Beautiful!
That looks a ton better! Just a word of warning for anyone thinking of smashing out walls, DO get an structural engineer to look-see. Often those walls that look dicky are actually load bearing. Meaning they hold your roof cavity up! Without it, in a few years, ker-splat! Very much worth the bucks to ensure you get a terrific look like Tyrell's!
