2. How can I create a great gathering space for friends?
"Hi, I need suggestions for furniture layout for my large open-plan living room. Please disregard the furniture there as it is all just hand-me-downs. As you can see, right now it is just a mess with kids' toys everywhere. I am looking for an inviting room with lots of seating for friends to visit."

3. How can I make my front entry more attractive?
"Any ideas on how to make this space to the right of our front door attractive? I don't like the plants in this space and would be happy to empty the space or replace the plants. I also don't like the wood stain of the door and trim; we plan to paint the trim white and are figuring out the color for the door. The interior photos show how this area looks from the inside entry hall (the area to the right is the dining room). Thank you!" Click here to answer.

4. How can I make my fireplace surround more glam?
"This is my hollywood glam bedroom. I need help with the fireplace surround. I'm thinking about a simple white wood mantle but the insert is 9" above the floor so not sure what to do. I think 9" of tile all the way around the insert would make the fireplace too big for the space."
