PLUSH TOSS CUSHIONS MAKE THIS COZY DAYBED THE PERFECT PLACE TO RELAX WITH AN AFTERNOON CUP OF TEA.

THE SOFT GLOW OF THE CANDELABRA IS WHIMSICAL AND ROMANTIC FOR DINNERS, WHILE SCONCES AND POT LIGHTS (NOT SHOWN) OFFER A BRIGHTER OPTION.

Designer Alison Habermehl mixes the old with the new in this picture-perfect Scandi-chic eat-in area.

NEW FABRIC AND A FRESH COAT OF PAINT UPDATE OLD FURNITURE FOR A MAKEOVER THAT’S EASY ON THE EYES AND THE BUDGET.

THE LIGHT ENGINEERED HARDWOOD FLOORING SUITS THIS HOME’S SCANDINAVIAN VIBE AND IS MORE DURABLE FOR FAMILIES WITH YOUNG CHILDREN OR PETS.

IN TYPICAL SCANDI FASHION, AN OLD BLACK POTTERY SET ADDS SUBTLE DRAMA TO THE ROOM’S WHITE AND NEUTRAL PALETTE.

INTRICATE DETAILS, SUCH AS THE CARVED ARMS OF THE DAYBED AND EMBROIDERY IN THE TOSS CUSHIONS, DELIVER ONE-OF-AKIND CHARACTER.
