After, living room
Steve and Dina Reisman's living room and entryway are in need of a luxurious makeover to match their grand Colonial house. Dina wants a comfortable space that's kid-friendly yet still has a touch of class. Steve, on the other hand, wants to make a bold statement that has a museum-type feel. Host and interior designer Michael Payne and interior designer Karla Holland turn the two areas into an elegant, vivid space that still has a cozy feel.
