BEFORE: This oversized sofa turns its back on the view, while hogging the space, leaving no room for a conversation area.

AFTER: A clean-lined sectional allows for entertaining, stretching out, and enjoying both view and the fireplace.

BEFORE: The bones were there - a slender, long dining table and matching sideboard plus four comfy parsons chairs - but the tiny light fixture was underwhelming.

AFTER: A new modern crystal chandelier, silver accents and a pair of glass-vase wall sconces add shine and glamour to the space. A mirror faces the view, doubling the light and visual space.

BEFORE: The cluttered office suffered from a lack of storage and was not a very inspiring place to work.

AFTER: A corner desk, floating shelves and lateral filing cabinets put an end to the clutter and help to create a peaceful working environment.

BEFORE: A second eating space was not an efficient use of space, especially considering one of the owners loved the idea of an 'away' space, complete with a recliner for after-work naps.

AFTER: A series of tall dark wood bookshelves created a library feel and provided some much-needed storage. The cozy room was just big enough to accommodate a new Todd Oldham-designed modern La-Z-Boy recliner.

BEFORE: With limited wall space, the TV and stereo items usually ends up on a view-obscuring stand or bench in front of the windows.

AFTER: This unit's mantle faces away from direct sunlight, making it the logical spot for a flat screen on a tilt-down stand. The iPod stereo dock reduced the bulky stereo system to a small unit on the wine cabinet.
