You have a spectacular home! Love the wine area and the railing. Not a fan of the rug under your table; it seems out of scale, buy the room is still amazing!

Exterior Elevation - Before and after, This home was in foreclosure when it was purchased - midway through construction. Here's what the outside elevation looked like before and after the construction was completed.

Master Bedroom - Balancing warm and cool colors in the same room, If you look at my rooms, you will see that the furniture and bedding in my two master bedrooms are very similar. This room is the original where I've paired the same "stuff" with a very light blue-gray to balance out the neutrals of the carpet and bedding. You'll see in my other Master Bedroom (which is in my new home), I've paired the same elements with a warm and rich brown shade (Tree Branch from Sherwin Williams). Just wanted to show how you can reuse some items to freshen up your space and give it a completely different look with new paint., Bedrooms Design

Tiny Foyer / Entrance, Even if you have a very small entrance to your home, you can still make a big impact. This is a 3 story townhouse where the front door enters at the second floor. A great sunburst mirror and a classic Cherner chair great guests. Up two stairs and there's a wine storage room with the dining room beyond. And down the stairs is the mother-in-law suite with great art pieces leading the way.

Hallway "Gallery", This is a hallway that runs along the 3rd floor of this home. The space isn't wide enough for any furniture, so I opted to mimic the window arrangement with a row of art framed to the exact same dimensions. Art by Robert Deyber. Also, here's a view from above down the curved staircases.

Family Room - Mixing Neutral Colors with Bold Patterns, This is the more casual Living Room / Family Room in my home. It has an en suite bathroom and huge storage closet, so it could also serve as an additional bedroom for a future buyer. Also, there is an entertainment foyer right outside with a bar and refrigerator. This room comprises half of my fourth floor, with the other half being an outside terrace with an outdoor kitchen.

3/4" x 5" oak hardwood planks were used for the floor in this room and floor was stained and finished on-site.

Master Closet - Rich, dark finishes with chrome and crystal details, This is my dream closet. If you have seen any of the other rooms in my house, you'll notice that I used the same expresso cabinetry as I did in my kitchen and other parts of the house. The closet has 5 inch wide oak hardwood flooring and lots of great extras including a separate bank of drawers on each end and a shoe closet in the middle with mirror doors that open up to create a 3 way mirror at the entrance. 3 crystal chandeliers provide great light and add some style. After the build out was complete, there wasn't much wall space left, so rather than to paint those areas, I opted to add wood panels instead to give the whole room a rich warm feel. Also, there is a bank of cabinets that goes all the way around the room at the top with doors that close. It's a great place to put all those things that are out of season or that you don't want cluttering up your closet. No space is wasted. Overall dimensions are 8x17.

Dining Room - Multiple seating groups warm an oversize space, I purchased a home mid-construction with an enormous Dining Room, approximately 18'x20'. The room fits between the Kitchen and Living Room and features soaring 12' ceilings and rounded walls - no corners!

Since I don't do a lot of formal entertaining outside of the holidays, I opted to split the room in two. One half is for dining where I have seating for 8. The other half is a lounge area with seating for 6 just outside the kitchen. This allows guests to relax with cocktails and appetizers while I cook right next door in the kitchen.

Kitchen/Dining Room Makeover, We have spent the majority of the past year updating and renovating our home. My husband, with the help of his father occasionally, has done all of the work himself. We have a combination kitchen and dining room; our updates focused on the dining room. We took out our bar to create more definition between rooms and replaced it with a wall, repainted, and changed the decor. In the next few months my husband will do a faux wainscoting and we'll be replacing the floor, as well., Dining Rooms Design

small dining area..., As always,decorating my rental apt on a very small budget.....My kitchen lacked "storage" {we can't add/remove extend or do much to our kitchen} so.my hubby and I debated on whether to add a buffet table or built benches... We opted for benches because I figured if we added more furniture it would look/feel crowded and cluttered,.by adding the benches it allowed for much needed storage and seating

I'm thinking of replacing the DIY CLOCK with mirror and sconces or large wall art but for now clock stays until I find that "special" something...

P.S.My hubby built the benches,added wainscoting,chair rail,window casing and framed dining area opening with molding
