3-Step Makeover: Breakfast Nook

This breakfast nook was missing a significant something: character. In a 3-step makeover, we take it from famine to visual feast with new furniture, punchy color, and a few simple accessories.

Breakfast rooms are, by definition, sunny, cozy, and inviting. But this one was the opposite: tract-white walls, a predictable chandelier hung too high, bare windows, and a way-long table. The room's architectural features were a bonus -- and a curse. How to make the mismatched windows seem like they belong together? How to soften the harsh angles? Tame the cavernous ceiling?
