Vintage Condo Conversion

By transforming the space into a formal dining area, this room has a distinct purpose. To add a more traditional touch, wood trim is fastened onto the walls to create the illusion of raised panels. Elegant Roman shades, a new chandelier and decorative sconces are the perfect finishing touches.

What was once a room cluttered with toys and kiddie cars is now a sophisticated sitting room (not shown) that will appeal to the masses. A lighter shade of paint, new window treatments and a few well-placed pieces of furniture make for a cozy and comfy setting.
