Why We Love It
This is a modest-sized room from Cottage Living , and therefore has lessons that apply to our own, less-than-palatial palaces. Decorator Fran Keenan has packed this small
space with big style.

What Makes It Work
Rather than attempt to camouflage the room's dimensions, Fran romances the space with grand gestures, such as bold patterns
on the sofa and chairs, and smart solutions like swing-arm lamps that don't take up valuable floor space.

Steal This Idea
Dress up a plain-Jane curtain panel with grosgrain ribbon applied in a pattern. No coffee table? Use a pair of small matching
side tables for a versatile solution. –Lydia Somerville, Senior Homes Editor, MyHomeIdeas.com
