CLEVER CHOICESSmart,
stylish strategies saved the
day in the new dining area,
this photo. The oval table
is long enough to fit the
family but narrow enough
to avoid crowding the
living area. Black wishbone
chairs slip under the table
when not in use, and the
handcrafted banquette
packs surplus storage in a
slim space. The artwork is
a snapshot of Geoff as a
teenager—Bri scanned it,
had it enlarged and printed
for $5, and framed it. “So
many people want to know
where I got it,” she says. “I
should probably just sell the
print! You’d never know it
was just a family photo.”
