AB chao of hashai

i've been feeling as if raenovate has been lacking a little something, and then it hit me like a ton of bricks! i can't have a before + after interior design blog without a feature on the amazingly talented AB chao of hashai. blogging since 2000, AB is a seasoned pro at chronicling her life's passions, especially the transformation of her louisiana home.

feast your eyes on the redesigns of AB's bedroom, kitchen, and teen daughter's bedroom. they're all amazing, i know. her sleeping quarters feature farrow & ball's down pipe paint and a deer antler mount from ebay; the kitchen boasts her mother's old dining room chandelier and a butcher block table ala john boos; and finally her teen's oasis is chock full of urban outfitters' decor and thrifted goodies. please enjoy the sampling of before + after photos i'm offering and then go directly to her blog hashai and her fantastic flickr to soak in the amazingness of AB chao.

i'd especially like to thank AB for granting me the permission to feature her home and photos!
