77 Eastern Parkway—what I jokingly called "the ax murder apartment"—was one of the darkest, ugliest spaces I had ever seen. When I first walked in, I wasn't sure I could do anything to help. Even more concerning, this was a good friend’s place—I couldn’t believe he lived like this!

We started by removing all the furniture, followed by the heavy blinds and outdated ceiling fan, which were only making the space feel gloomier. I installed new light fixtures to brighten things up, and the transformation was shocking. The final outcome was nothing short of amazing.
