First home, living room/kitchen/dining layout HELP: How do you fix this dark dining room? Can we make this floor plan work? If we remove some walls, will the layout even improve?

I have bought a house. Now who to talk to please? Architect, interior designer, builder, decorator? I know things have to be done in my house to make it a nice home but do not know how and with whom to start. I start with a blank canvas (house has good bones but awful deco/floor plan) and have ZERO furniture as I bought, arriving from a different country. I think (hope!) I did the right thing in buying a house in my desired location and size, and under my top budget to have a lot of room to make the house mine month by month. The style is colonial r…

The Capitol (design review) I was watching the nightly news tonight (4/17/24) and was watching a report of the proceedings in the Capitol…I saw this, to me, it looked hideous.
