Homeowners who had grown used to oversized, hand-me-down furniture couldn't believe what proper proportions could do for their space. To save money in the living room redesign, designer Katheryn Cowles opted to give the existing built-in cabinets a facelift with a new paint job, glass shelves and better lighting. The stone fireplace is the focal point in the space, fitting perfectly with the overall natural theme the homeowners had hoped for.

A dining space with room for everyone in this family of five is given a cozy feel with warm shades of yellow and brown. Minimal decor keeps the focus on the family and the quality time they share together around the table. Soft touches, like the plush area rug, fabric-covered chairs and lush curtains, give the space a comfortable, relaxed vibe.

An arched doorway from the dining room offers a view of the family's sitting room, which showcases traditional crown molding mixed with some more modern furniture styles for the ultimate transitional look the homeowners craved.

The homeowners' desire for a natural, textural design is showcased in the family's entryway with the use of beautiful, deep green plants and woven baskets.
