Doreen’s Living Room Renovations

May 5, 2022
I recently did an update on a very outdated living room. The sofas were old and not too scale. The layout wasn’t working, and the floor color was a bit dark and obsolete.

I decided that I was not too fond of the layout. It seemed to me, too, everything was on one side of the space. The balance was off. And since my client no longer wanted the piano, I thought that would be an ideal place for the TV fireplace console. This way, we would be utilizing the entire space.

Here are the before pictures.

I am not fond of walking into a space and seeing the back of a sofa, much less a recliner!

The piano was being removed so we could utilize the entire space. We were making the living room area much more extensive.

As you can see, it completely changed the look of the space. The living room was more extensive and more open concept than before.

It often happens with my clients. Once they see how beautiful the space is, they wind up remodeling. In this case, we updated the dining room. I kept the tables but purchased new chairs and a new credenza.


 

Sideboards, Credenzas or Buffets

May 27, 2021

It seems just about every dining room has either a sideboard, credenza, or buffet.  They are a staple to any dining room. A great way to store all your items. 


If you went shopping for these items you will know that they can be very costly!! But these pieces have the capacity to make a statement and are well worth the cost!!

Here are some examples of the many different styles. Each style is beautiful in its own right.
