HOME WORK
“It’s a desk in a dining room,
not a dining table in an
office,” Elaine says of the
pretty work zone she eked
out of a freed-up comer.
White paint on the antique
secretary console and white
accessories brighten the area.
An old chair looks splashy in
bright orange.
LANDING SPOT
The dining room is off the
foyer, so Elaine brought in an
upholstered bench to use as
a drop spot for bags and mail.
The top lifts for storage. ■
“The newly chic console can
be cleared out and set up as a
bar during social moments.”
