Homeowners Karin and Mark Appelbaum are looking to fix up their dining room. With two active boys, it's hard enough to find the time to update the 1960s ranch-style room, let alone make a decision on a paint color. They do a lot of entertaining in the room, which is in the center of their house, and they want a little help pulling their decisions together to update the space. Designer and host Karen McAloon coaches them through to process of elimination to help them discover their style.
Before: Uninspiring Eatery
Karin and Mark Appelbaum started designing their dining room but hit a dead end after putting up seven paint swatches. The room includes a mishmash of items and has a rather dull color theme. The rug is worn and dated, and there are no curtains on the windows.For specific product information, click on the first After photo of the room.
