Multiuse Dining Room Makeover

When an Idaho family entered the BHG.com Save My Room contest, they hoped Better Homes and Gardens contributing editor Stephen Saint-Onge would transform their plain dining room into a multifunctional space. But they never imagined they would get so much more.

Before: Formal but Empty

The Porters' formal dining room has a prime location in their Idaho home -- it's the first room guests see. But the mostly empty room left a lackluster impression. "We love the idea of combining a formal sitting area snuggled up to the dining table for nice family dinners," Jacqui Porter suggested when she entered the Save My Room contest. Better Homes and Gardens contributing editor Stephen Saint-Onge created the cozy, multifunctional space the Porters envisioned.

There is no accounting for taste. If you do not need a dining room, create a different space. But to try to utilize the space as catch all room.....naw, don't like it.
