Planning for a successful makover!

If you are going to make over a room, think about what you would use it for first.

This unattractive breakfast/family room was right next to the kitchen. The client never really ate breakfast here. But when she entertained the guest chose to linger about this room.

So the logical choice was to make a comfortable seating area near the window. The room was cleared, painted in a soft butter cream.

Old items: Worn out, broken, and unusable furniture pieces were recycled at the local recycle station. Usable items were donated.

New items: Two identical small convertible day sofas, two drapery panels, drapery rod, and a small coffee table purchased at the the local discount stores cost under $1000. The Sofa arms unfold to create more seating (or serve as extra beds) if needed.

Client's existing lamp was placed here for additional lighting in the evening. Her Moroccan brass tray was placed on top of the small coffee table to make a larger table space. Her textile art previously folded in a drawer was framed prominently to create visual interest and speak to her personality and style.  The kitchen peninsula counter is used as serving station for parties.

A wool rug from another room grounds the space. Wool rugs are inherently stain resistant. Perfect for an accidental party spill. Every guest loves to spend time in this room!
