Hi,

I'm going to be renovating and could use some direction. I can't take down that wall for the kitchen. I will be going with ikea cabinets. The kitchen is 7' long and 7' wide. My biggest mission is figuring out how to increase counter space/useability without outright putting the fridge into the dining room. The layout can be changed to the extent of the stove can go anywhere along the same wall, the fridge can be relocated, and the sink can be moved as well.

Thanks. :)

Hi! I'd love a second opinion on my dining room. It's off the kitchen and near the back door, plus it's near the entrance and living room. All this to say—it's got multiple paths of travel going through it. I wanted to place a rectangular dining table (6 seater) in the center, but it feels a little silly to put a large obstacle in the middle of our path. I've toyed around with an L-shape "nook" in the corner (shown in 3rd photo) but that leaves a ton of empty, unused space. I'd also consider a round table that seats 4 to 6, but not sure that fits the space either. I could really use your help on how to furnish the space in a way that's functional. In terms of style, I like transitional, organic modern, and even a bit of farmhouse. It's currently empty, so a blank canvas! Thank you in advance :)

Hi! I'd love thoughts for how to bring color and add warmth to my living room - the ceilings are really high. Right now I'm trying to figure out throw pillow combos and ideas for wall art that isn't crazy expensive. Will take any advice! Excuse the mirror on the floor in the picture :).

Ooooh this is fun! Are you open to painting the walls or you'd rather add color through decorative elements?

@DanielaAraya sadly it's a rental so I'm not able to paint!
