Living/Dining Room Remodel Example
This is a formal setting, so formal window treatments were
desired. Older homes have a lot of character and design
elements to accent. Notice the architectural features,
moldings, large windows, high ceilings and hardwood floors.
In this case, the walls were painted a deep, rich color and
the trim a crisp white to accentuate the nice features. There
is no overhead light in this room, so lamps were
strategically placed for ample lighting.

This Dining Room is beside the Living Room in the other
pictures. As you can see, there are antique pieces in this
home. We also used some contemporary artwork to keep the
rooms from getting too serious! The combination of
upholstered chairs and antique chairs also is a nice way to
mix periods. The use of area rugs softens the room and
gives texture and pattern, to keep the colors flowing from
room to room.

Here is another shot from the Living Room into the Dining
Room. Note the large scale of the pictures. It is a good
idea to use large paintings and accessories for impact in
decorating. Sometimes small objects and pictures can make a
room look cluttered. It is better to use a few large items
than lots of small trinkets when accessorizing your rooms.

This great room just needed a facelift. We painted the
walls, got a new sofa and accessories, rearranged the
furniture and transformed the room from frumpy to fabulous!
