Rightsizing

Despite downsizing, Schlanser and her daughter have had no difficulty adjusting to their 3,500-square-foot new home. "Instead of downsizing, we like to think of it as 'rightsizing' because you are really finding your true space, so you're not downgrading, you're just improving your overall lifestyle," Leslie Wood of Heritage Homes explained. Since moving in six months ago, all of Schlanser's expectations have been met.

Family Room

Although the family room appears to be pristine, it is where Schlanser and her daughter like to spend time together. "It may not look like it, but this is where we hang out," Schlanser laughed. In this room, Schlanser uses grey and beige tones, showing that you don't have to pick one or the other. Around the fireplace, Schlanser arranged customordered furniture from Pottery Barn.

Dining Room

The crowning achievement of this dramatic dining room is its hanging light fixture, which features a crystalencrusted lampshade. On the wall, a mirror creates the illusion of an even more spacious room, and upholstered chairs surround the espresso-colored table, which is adorned with classic accessories.
