A kitchen with limited space. A room with too little elbow room. A living room that you don't want to be in. It's the age-old dilemma of owning an older home: you want to enlarge your living space but don't want to jeopardize your home's structural stability. With a formal blue dining room and a dramatic canopy bed, these designer rooms are traditional but never boring. This is a must-have book for fans of a fresh, traditional aesthetic.
