Renovation of dining room
-
Treasuredchaos.com on Feb 11, 2016my dad purchased a huge (like a built in style) entertainment center to seperate the rooms leaving space on both sides to enter the other room, then he installed a sort of green room with a fish pond and lots of plants, a sitting area to read, etc. I would have used it for a computer/office area, though.Helpful Reply

Janet Pizaro on Feb 11, 2016I agree making the space into a retreat of sort. Plants, a little music, a soft carpet, and comfortable seating.Helpful Reply

Brenda on Feb 12, 2016How about adding some cabinets for storage, a desk or counter, then put up some shelves and make it into an office area. You could decorate in any style you choose.Helpful Reply

LoriKindler on Feb 12, 2016These are all good ideas - In your home, what are you missing? A private space? Crafting? Library? Office? Treasuredchaos' idea is terrific to separate the room and if you need the light from it, use one of those open ended shelving unit things.Helpful Reply

Betsy on Feb 12, 2016You have great ideas above, however, you could make it multi-functional...some space for office, and blend the rest between your kitchen and living areas. You can't go wrong with extra seating and occasional tables.Helpful Reply
