After: Dramatic Color Scheme
The Solution
Interior designer Kristan Cunningham paints the white walls a daring red and adds more seating for entertaining. Design coordinator Dave Sheinkopf designs an interesting accent for the chair rail in the dining room, while Spencer Anderson finds a more functional coffee table for Willard's bold new style. The window treatments are replaced, and the furniture is moved around for a more formal, symmetrical arrangement.The Cost
