And yes, I will definitely post pictures of the redesigned dining room. These are fantastic comments. I have a lot to think about!


How To Make Insanely Narrow Dining Room More Functional? Good Questions

I am getting rid of the table! I agree that it's wrong for the room. Makes it actually look smaller than it is. I am now focused on finding a rectangular dining table, nice rug, and a few mirrors.

Thanks again, everyone

Thanks very much for all the great comments! These are spectacular suggestions.

Also, just to clarify -- the corner area on the right in the photos (to the right of the red tile on the wall) is actually the start of the staircase and not a corner (as it appears in the pix). Sorry I did not clarify this in my original post.

So this room is actually open on three sides -- doorway to living room, opening to stairwell to 2nd floor, and doorway to kitchen.

Thanks again
Laura

this is fantastic...just wanted to mention that in the intro narrative, the name of the DC neighborhood is misspelled. Should read "Mt. Pleasant"

Hi Sadina,
Great place! I live near you (NE DC near H Street) and am currently remodeling my petite galley rowhouse kitchen. Do you have any photos that show how you're storing garbage under your sink?
Thanks a lot
Laura

Great examples!

You mentioned that open shelving with a mirrored background can make a small space seem larger...do you have any pix you could share? sounds intriguing...
