A HOUSEWIFE WAS SO SHOCKED SEEING THE TRANSFORMATION OF THEIR HOUSE, SHE'S SO THANKFUL TO THE PERSON WHO MADE IT!

Grace Lucas lived in Villamor Airbase since she was born until she was married with his husband Miguel with her three children.

Their house is too small for them having a family of five. The couple give their all best at work for them to have money to build an extension of their house.

However, the couple was forced to stop construction when the property was hit by a fallen sampaloc tree during Typhoon Milenyo.

The new wing was left severely damaged and the homeowners felt disappointed and frustrated.

To improve their living conditions and provide them with a place that would fill them with unbridled joy, decorator creative director Gwyn Guanzon stepped in.

Before anything else, Gwyn wanted to create a safe and structurally sound property. In order to do this, he stabilized the wall’s framework and constructed an actual ceiling.

The original design of the house had a window covered with bamboo or kawayan. Since the small opening allowed natural light and a cool breeze into the home, Gwyn simply decided to replace the rustic bamboo slats with colorful columns.

A dining set is important because it is used everyday and it can bring your family and friends together. With this in mind, Gwyn replaced the old table and unsightly monoblock chairs with a Callan dining set from Crossings Home.

Gwyn initially planned to move the simple staircase to a different area. However, when he realized that the bedroom walls were not even, he decided to keep the staircase in the same place.

To make the small and narrow kitchen seem more open, Gwyn picked out white building materials. He used white paint for the walls, created a white brick wall-inspired backsplash, and used white tiles for the lone countertop.

Gwyn also used wall mirrors to make the kitchen and the hallway that leads to the bathroom seem bigger than it really is!

The old bathroom did not even have a faucet! It looks like a completely different space because of the new wall tiles and the telephone shower set and sleek water closet from Homestore.

A few years after this home makeover, it was Grace’s turn to lend a helping hand to Gwyn. When Gwyn’s father slipped into a coma in their hometown in Antique, Grace arranged for him to be airlifted to a hospital in Quezon City. The interior decorator is grateful for her kind assistance.
