Sean Anderson Design Before and After


On the surface, this large home on more than four acres in East Memphis doesn't look like it'd have a large spread in a national magazine like Elle Decor, does it? That's because this ... is the before.


The after. Well, if I'm reading the article correctly, this is more of a during. When Sean and his then partner moved into the home, they formulated a tiered plan to turn the house into their forever home, a dream they called a modern farmhouse. 


When they bought the house, this was the entry. Built in the late 1980's, the house had all the hallmarks of the era. Engineered hardwood with a bowling ball polish, oak, oak, and more oak, plush carpet and some pretty interesting faux paint finishes.

After, carpet was replaced with the same engineered wood, and then painted white. Every wall in the house was painted a deep shade of gray except for a guest room at the end of this hallway. The stair carpeting was replaced with sisal, and lighting was switched out for higher end fixtures like this lantern.


Immediately to the right of the entry is the dining room. This room is bathed with natural light that shines through a beautiful bay window.

Another before.

Sean and his then partner were more keen to have this room be a sitting room, a room to start their mornings with coffee and conversation rather than a stodgy dining room rarely used soaking up all that gorgeous sunshine. This room, more than any other, changed the most while Sean lived there. Art went from this beautiful collection of arrowheads collected at his family farm in Mississippi:

To this large painting by Alabama artist, William Rankin McLure IV, which Sean used in a spec house he was charged to decorate. I think it lived here until the install. 


After a year of collecting actual arrows, they were framed, and I believe this is how the art in the room stands today:




The living room obviously saw several changes as well.

Two vignettes with tables on either side of the door. Sean lined the walls of the entire room gallery style with photographs, paintings, and various taxidermy.

The kitchen was part of the last tier of the renovation, and there are no finished pics of that space. But Sean did clean up this little eating nook.

There are two master suites on the first floor.


This one has a window that faces the front of the house, and was used as an office by the previous owner.

The plush carpet was replaced with wall to wall sisal carpet, and this room (the only with white walls in the whole house) had windows treated with beautiful men's suiting wool.


The other master, upstairs.

The same carpet was used in all of the upstairs rooms. The couple turned what had been a closet in an adjoining room into a daybed with shelves for books.

It proved to also be a great dog bed.

I thought it was so great to see someone not only tackle, but conquer the black and white color palette in this way. So, now that you're sufficiently inspired, wanna shop the look for less?

    1. Omg I Finally Got Helped  !! I'm so excited right now, I just have to share my testimony on this Forum.. The feeling of being loved takes away so much burden from our shoulders. I had all this but I made a big mistake when I cheated on my wife with another woman  and my wife left me for over 4 months after she found out..  I was lonely, sad and devastated. Luckily I was directed to a very powerful spell caster Dr Emu who helped me cast a spell of reconciliation on our Relationship and he brought back my wife and now she loves me far more than ever.. I'm so happy with life now. Thank you so much Dr Emu, kindly Contact  Dr Emu Today and get any kind of help you want.. Via Email emutemple@gmail.com or Call/WhatsApp +2347012841542

  2. Love this! When we first moved to our cottage I decided to paint the exterior a soft black and tried a dark bronze in the living. My husband thought I was nuts. The interior walls are now white, the outside is slowly being painted black. I'm inspired! Thank you for posting!

  3. The power of paint and well placed decor. Looking closely very little if any actual construction was done in this house. They transformed this house mainly with paint and floors.

  8. LOVE SPELL TESTIMONY

    Thank you so much DOCTOR ODUNGA for making my ex boyfriend come back to me. I am writing this wonderful testimony in respect of this man. He made all my wishes come true. My boyfriend and i dated for more than 3 years and although we had had so many quarrels but we never thought of a break up. One day, he called me over the phone telling me how he is tired of the relationship and cannot see anywhere that we are heading to. Months have passed and my boyfriend did not contact me anymore and i did not hear from him anymore and his cell phone was disconnected. I knew i need to seek for help because of the so much love i have for him. I contacted this great spell caster because i have never contacted anyone before and i tell you that after a week of contact, my ex boyfriend called me and asked to see me and the next morning, he wore a ring on my finger. I am very happy because i am soon going to be a married girl with the help of this great spell caster. I promised to manifest your works to everyone and please contact this man to help you at

  9. My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough. here is his Email: emutemple@gmail.com or call/text him on his WhatsApp +2347012841542

    He is also able to cast spell like 1: Lottery 2: Conceive 3: Breakup 4: Divorce 5: Cure for all kinds of diseases and viruses.

  11. This year has been so blissful to me for God has given me a reason to live happily again after been heart broken for 3 months when my husband neglected me and went back to he's mistress. I suffered and went through all types of emotional tortures for I couldn't get any help to get my man back not until I was refereed to Lord Zakuza by my co-worker who gave me her full assurance about him that he can be of help to me. I got in touch with Lord Zakuza and I hearken to his words and followed the instructions given to me by him. Could you believe that my husband got back home within 48 hours as said by him and today, my marriage is restored & I'm so thankful, appreciative & grateful to God for using Lord Zakuza to get my man back after 3 months of broken marriage. Is there anyone out there who needs to get back to he's or her lover back or needs any help of any kind? Then, I suggest that you get in touch with Lord Zakuza now through his Email ID: Lordzakuza7@gmail.com or WhatsApp him on + 1 (740) 573–9483 and for more information, here's his website: lordzakuzaspells.com

  12. My husband and I have been married for over 10 years. We met when I was 18 and he was 21. We’ve been through a lot emotionally together. There were several HUGE fights and painful situations in our marriage, but we always seemed to come out stronger on the other side. Out of the blue my husband just sprung the divorce talk on me, I was totally depressed until I found the Dr.Todd website online and I ordered a Love spell. You won’t believe my husband called me at the exact time this spell caster finished his spell work in 24hours. I was totally amazed! He is wonderful and his spells work so fast. His contact: manifestspellcast@gmail.com

  15. I can’t believe that with just a contact to Dr. Todd, I got my ex husband back. I had read some stuff about Manifest Temple before i contacted him but i didn’t know that all those stuff were so accurate until i got my husband back, After getting my ex husband back i taught it wise to share my testimony with everyone on this website that how Dr. Todd was able to get my husband back with his powerful reunion love spell. That rebuild my broken marriage. All my hope has been fully restored and am happy to share my experience to everyone. Do feel free to Contact Dr. Todd via email if having any challenge with marriage or relationship at: (manifestspellcast@gmail.com) I so much believe he can also help out with his power.
