LIVING/DINING WITH DRAMATIC BLACK & WHITE RUG

This view from the living room into the dining room shows how the dramatic new rug and art transform the spaces. The furniture was existing, but we reupholstered the seating, and added the black and white rug, as well as the table, art, and accessories on the wall near the dining room. Using existing pieces saved money, but our new additions enabled the finish effect to work beautifully.
