living room
BEFORE (not pictured): Inside, an entry closet cut the living room off from the dining room, creating chopped-up, dark spaces. AFTER (seen here): The designers eliminated the closet, moved the kitchen into the former dining room space and added a large beam. Now natural light spreads from one side of the house to the other.

Love, love, love!!!
Like the layout and natural light. Nice cozy nook for reading, talking or listening to music.
love the big ottoman
Love the small table and two chairs in the bay window nook — good place for reading or playing games. (And I would love to have that view!)
love the color palette of blue, white & dark wood
I like all the big windows, and the stepped ceiling. The two sofas need to be a more neutral color, though — not so match-matchy with the walls.
I like the moulding forming a frame above the fireplace mantle. (Don't like the sconces; may not even want any sconces there.)

wall paint is Benjamin Moore 861 Shale???
nice layout, lots of space, ample light (like adjacent eating area with the Louis Ghost Chair — doesn't feel boxed in)
"This dining table is nestled between the end of the kitchen and a living area. Its proximity to the kitchen takes care of tableware storage. The rug underneath helps to define the parameters. Notice that there is plenty of space around the table and chairs. Be sure to provide extra space when placing dining tables within circulation routes, as has been done here. Not only does traffic pass from the kitchen into the living area, but it also crosses to exit through the sliding glass door to the right and connects to the room at left. Leaving 48 to 60 in. (122 to 152 cm) beyond the edge of a table can be sufficient for this type of layout."
