My South Tampa clients were seeking a brighter, open and more updated space.  We removed the entertainment unit that was overwhelming the room. She was given a TV console that she painted herself. This allowed me to focus the budget on new artwork, pillows, mirrors, lighting and window treatments.  Due to a new pet that has joined the family I encouraged her to wait to purchase a new rug and sofas until her sweet little canine no longer considers these items chew toys.
