Before: The Thows are convinced that their sherbet-colored dining room is hopeless. The plywood table covered with a vinyl cloth and folding chairs they've used for six years turned out to be a not-so-temporary solution!
After: A stylish mood is set with the rich red wall color and a new dining room table with bench seating all around for large gatherings. The room is now the romantic and inviting entertaining space the couple always wanted it to be.
Before: This dining room, with its hodgepodge of materials, isn't exactly dressed to impress. The desk isn't offering enough storage/display space and since it's low, the wall behind it is rather boring.
After: Deep red walls and black waxed furniture made from leftover lumber combine for high class on a low budget. The couple's red and gold dishes are the perfect finishing touch!
Homeowners Richard and Monica Thow like to entertain but their dining room is nothing but folding chairs and a plywood table. Designer Karen McAloon brings in her team, painter Danielle Hirsch and contractor Ian Read, to give the room a remarkable makeover using things they already have, a fresh coat of paint and almost no money!
