Long, narrow living rooms always
pose some decorating challenges, and
this i3x25-foot space is no exception.
The location of windows and
doorways creates a tight fit for
furniture, a situation made even
trickier by a stranded fireplace. Plus,
the front door opens right into the
room; no foyer means no separation
from the seating area or spot to set
bags. While home improvement pro
and TV host Danny Lipford tackled the
renovation of this room, we solved its
cosmetic flaws. See how our team
effort turned it into a functional and
welcoming space.
