A Living and Dining Room Makeover

See how Better Homes and Gardens contributor Stephen Saint-Onge uses soft color and updated furniture to give these rooms versatility and a polished look.

Outdated Before

Somewhere in the midst of raising three children, the décor in the living room and dining room of this old farmhouse went stale. But with some chic new furniture and interesting color for the wall, designer Stephen Saint-Onge gave these adjoining rooms a pretty lift.

Stephen's Mission: Keep the home's historic charm but bring in a new sense of sophistication with updated furniture and color.
