Alexander has long had plans to get it in order--they bought the house 30 years ago--but her busy family life has kept her from doing so. She decides to enlist the help of professional organizer Kathy Krickett Irizarry to get this room in working order once and for all. She's certainly going to have her hands full. Take a look:
Several days later, the room has been cleared, furniture rearranged and/or moved out of the room into the new office area upstairs and everything has been sorted into like piles and boxes. Now it's time to paint. Alexander chose a color called Wintermint to lighten the room up a bit and painted the white column caps with a homemade tea-stained concoction. Here are the results of the makeover:
alkyd primer
polyurethane floor varnish, satin finish
Green Tint, eggshell (2139-60)
Silken Pine, eggshell (2144-50)
