    I have a lovely room that I call a sitting/reading room that has me stumped (positioning of the furniture, colors, walls, accessories etc). I need to make it all work with the furniture in the room. I have found that my design taste is moving away from being strictly traditional. Transitional, maybe.

    Since I have a open floor plan, it would be the kitchen/dining/living. Just doesn’t flow very well.

    After thirty-five years, I think it’s time to update our living room. Wallpaper off and fresh new coats of paint begin 2015. Now in need of furniture and its placement.
