Which room to design?

If there were one room in your home to redesign which would it be and who would you want to redesign your space?

I pretty much know what I want to do but if I could get a designer I would have to go with Vern Yip. Loved him since the old "Trading Spaces" days on TLC, back when Paige was hosting. I don't think there was ever a design of his that I didn't like.; ▶ Reply to This

Really only person can be working in the kitchen at a time or you keep bumping into each other. I would love to expand the kitchen, put in more counter and cabinet space, a bigger island, double ovens (I like to cook and bake), a wine cooler. Upgrade all the appliances. It would be a major overhaul, but at that point I might as well look for another house with a bigger kitchen!!!

I would like to try to come up with the design myself, not sure who I would hire to actually do it. My neighbor is an architect.; ▶ Reply to This

I don't have a foyer or entryway, so the entire room, + open dining + some kitchen (via a pass-through) is the very first thing you see when the front door is opened. I wish we had the space to wall off an 'entry' or something to give us a bit more privacy, but I guess I'll just figure out how to work with what I've got.; ▶ Reply to This

Since most of my time is spent in my living room and my office, those are the areas I concentrate on. Fresh flowers every couple of weeks also helps to keep your home in good Feng Shui! If I had to re-design one room though, it would have to be my bedroom, I am just waiting for my new kitten to be trained to keep his claws to himself before I buy a new bedspread!; ▶ Reply to This
