This homeowner loves to entertain and desired a large table with enough seating for formal dinners . We started with a fresh coat of paint in a neutral gray tone . Comfort and modern style was on her wish list . So we picked a large rustic style dining table with light cream linen tufted chairs . A matching buffet was added for additional storage and doubled up as a bar . A statement chandelier from Hudson Valley Lighting gives a glamorous look worthy of a formal dining space . Finally the art and rug add a pop of color to this modern neutral palette and create a warm welcoming atmosphere for everyone to gather . We also sourced the dinnerware and napkins for the homeowners ’ next dinner party . It was a lovely blue and cream set with napkins to contrast . - Naini D ’ Souza , Alpha And Omega Staging , www . alphaandomegastaging . ca

To create an open concept space with modern fixtures and plenty of natural light , the kitchen and dining room were combined into one . New flooring was installed throughout the main floor to pull the rooms together . The staircase to the second floor was also updated to give it a more modern look . To maximize natural light , the existing sliding door and a small window facing the backyard were removed and replaced with a double set of glass doors . - Risha Kolah , Capable Group , www . capablegroupinc . com
