This summer, I redecorated the dining/living room combo. I also replaced the blue hutch and buffet we had in here for a refinished black credenza (filing cabinet). We also installed a TV. The most important element was paint: I painted the white walls with my favorite Magnolia Blanched, repainted the fireplace with high heat and midnight chalk paint, and painted the radiators that blended into the walls previously. The results are pretty dramatic.
