Also the space-taking sectional bookcases and somber wall and floor coverings. Next regard the “After” view of the same room. The seemingly decorative miracle was achieved at comparatively little cost and com- pletely modernized the room. In addition, the improvement inspired the owner to discard old furniture and install venetian blinds.
