My client is a librarian with a tremendous amount of books and inherited furniture. The house had a lot of walls and door ways in places that made it feel closed off and dark. We eliminated anything that didn't allow for good energy flow and gave her what she was sorely lacking: storage. Treasured pieces were given new life with reupholstering. Her favorite piece, her great great grandfather's desk from his office, was the inspiration for her kitchen. I also put it in a place of honor instead of in a corner where it was never seen.
