| Living/Dining Room BEFORE. Dining table is pushed into the corner. Living room furniture turns it's back to the front door and front of the house. Introverted. Closed ended. Solemn feeling. Lifeless. |
 |
| Living Room AFTER. Furniture turns around and greets the viewer at the front door. Orientation of the furniture addresses the front door, the front of the home, the street. Moving the leather chair to the opposite side of the sofa creates a larger gathering space near the entry. The antique chest/trunk was resurrected from another room in the home and now provides a useful function as the coffee table. Accessories and proper accoutrements make the space warm, comfortable and inviting. |
 |
| Dining Room AFTER. Table is coaxed out of the corner. Lace table runner is carefully folded and put away in a drawer. Buffet comes out of hiding and is placed prominently against an exterior wall, adjacent to the dining table - in a subservient fashion. Buffet grounds and gives meaning to the pair of landscapes prints hanging on the wall directly above. Table is accessorized with large vessel and bowl. Floor lamp in corner adds needed light the space. |
