Dining Room – Before.
This room doesn’t showcase beautiful china and crystal.
Dining Room – After
The room has ambient lighting. Several layers of lighting is important. Overhead which must be dimmable and lighting at the eye level, such as lamps. The table cloth was removed and set with china a fresh flowers.
Living Room – Before
The furniture had a odd layout, it didn’t maximize the space.
Living Room – After
We relocated the piano which opened up the room. Showcased Patty’s history with Steinway piano and her love of music.
The living room had too much furniture and the unusual angles created visual and phyiscal blocks. Our homeowner loves to entertain. With this arrangement seating is limited.
We shifted the furniture and removed one chair and a china cabinet. If you own lots of china and crystal it does not have to be displayed all at once. By eliminating the china cabinet we were able to hang the homeowners valuable artwork that was sitting in a closet. We added throw pillows to bring in a modern touch and more color. We moved the tea cart from the dining room to the living room . The tea cart displayed a beautiful silver tea service and antique china cups and saucers. The art work is hung in groups of like subjects, the frames can be different. We had a blast and learned more about a friend and her families life.
