Living/Dining Area Goes Artistic

Before Layda Morales and Derrick Payne decided to get married and buy their first place, they lived with Layda's mother and grandmother, squishing all their belongings into Layda's 10 x 10-foot childhood bedroom. By the time they move into their new 2,000-square-foot Miami home, the cavernous living and dining rooms feel like a sterile warehouse compared with the shoebox they were in before. Inspired by the pair's artistic taste, designer Franzella Guido decides to give the rectangular living/dining area a cool art-gallery vibe.
