Helpful Hint! Color can make all the difference in a room; here in combination with grays, the color warms the large open spaces of this dining room.

Living Room - Before

Living Room - After

Now, notice that the draperies were changed to a much lighter linen fabric, with glass tassels.  The chairs in front of the window were reupholstered, as was the ottoman.  The sofa has a beautiful English linen slipcover and tons of new toss pillows.  New art and fabulous trims gave this room a totally new look at a fraction of what it would have been to totally renovate the entire room.

I would like to point out something from this article that I think is VERY IMPORTANT to take into consideration!!  With an initial investment in high-quality pieces 10 years earlier, Michael’s client had the option to recreate this room without having to purchase new, expensive furniture.  By investing more on the front end, you will save money in the long run!! 

Thank you Michael!
