When I first saw these submissions from Moya, I literally gasped out loud, then let loose a deep longing sigh. All kinds of guttural noises were happening up in here.
I just absolutely love her sense of style, and even asked her if she could download me a copy and insert it into my brain.
The sofa was a handed down piece, very sturdy and well made, but in need of a fresh look. She chose to have it redone in a navy velvet with contrasting piping. It’s a very cool, very subtle nautical look.
Secondly, observe her fantastic kitchen redo. If I was scouring the real estate listings and came across that galley kitchen in the before pic, it would have been a deal breaker. Compare that to the after picture, and I’d be paying them to let me live there!

August 19, 2010 at 6:39 PMHave I seen this kitchen before/after elsewhere? It’s still amazing. Love galley kitchens!
The sofa looks SO much more inviting now. 🙂

August 20, 2010 at 6:21 PMWhite paint and galley kitchens are made for each other. I love that she switched her old kitchen door for one with a full glass insert. That’s next on my list of to-do items in my kitchen, too! Any time you can let more natural light into a space, it’s a win. 🙂
