Living Room Reconfiguration

Larry and Maureen Varnes are looking for some common ground with their living room redecorating project. Host Michael Payne outlines the problem areas: the fireplace surround, the furniture configuration and the window treatments. Payne and the couple try a few different furniture configurations before finding one that works. With this new configuration in mind, Payne sketches a design concept that both Maureen and Larry like. When finished, the living room offers an unobstructed pathway through the room and its several entrances, as well as an unobstructed view of the backyard.
