Designer Candice Olson knocks down walls and works her magic on the living space of a small, 100-year-old home.

Writes Candice, "To bring extra brightness to the room, I put in a beautiful crystal chandelier above the pedestal table, two mini drop pendants in the hallway and a couple of crystal sconces in the dining area. These all work collectively to make the new open space feel light and bright, with a touch of elegance."

I especially like the colorful accent pillows and the contemporary decor accents.
