WOW! Where does one begin? As I said, the reason Donna called me was to rescue her from overwhelming clutter and her best intentions. That, and the fact that her dog, Harley, had been missing in the boxes for two days. He's fine, by the way. Just a little dehydrated and disoriented.
But back to the boxes. That is, without a doubt, the neatest, best looking mountain of boxes I have ever seen. Kudos to you, Donna!

Alas, the dining room again. I think this picture speaks for itself. Donna is clear on her feelings about this chandelier...."hideous". I tend to agree. The doors on the left go into the kitchen.

Here is the "breakfast nook"(breakfast for her dog, Harley, that is, as you can see by the bowl) in Donna's kitchen. She had already painted it a cheerful Restoration Hardware "BUTTER"(I'm not kidding....that is the real name of the paint). There are two windows that look out onto a lovely tree lined street(that qualifies as a "nice view") ,the same great shiny white crown molding as in the dining room and another "hideous chandelier".
On the other wall, out of view, is the microwave oven sitting alone on a table. I have very strong feelings about exposed wires, ugly appliances, and televisions...mainly that they should be hidden. So, the challenge in this room was to hide/minimize the microwave.
