Design Challenge winner

First of all I want to thank all of you who participated in the design challenge and left your comments, and also signed up on my blog, I hope you will continue to follow my posts and check back to see the results of the transformation of the winning challenge. 

Now, onto the winner! I read through each one of the comments many times and it was a hard decision. I decided to pick one that I believed would have that most dramatic transformation for the amount of time invested. The winner is...the challenge of Liz Moffet's living room! It sounds like a great challenge to take on and I am very excited to see the room!  I liked the fact that the room has some issues with paint, a problem with the entry into the room, but also issues with furniture arrangement. So by redesigning the floor plan with what is already in the space, it will make a big difference. Here is what she had to say about her living room;

"Our living room is a problem design wise for us for 2 major reasons. First, one entire wall is wood- built in shelves, real wood paneling, and a wood fireplace and mantel. I can't for the life of me figure out how to break that space up or what color to paint the room because of that whole wall being wood. The second issue is that we use a door from the outside into the living room as the main entrance of our home, so we need entry way living, along with a clear path to enter the rest of the house. Can't figure out how to set up the furniture in the room to do that. The room drives me nuts considering it's the first thing I see every time I walk in the house."

I will post the pictures of her space as soon as I get them and will do follow up's of the progress, hope you follow along! And thanks again to all of you for your time!
