    Before and After!

    Remember Liz, whose drab bedroom had her and her boy yawning? Beige, beige, more beige. Plus a lack of necessary furniture. On a student budget, they weren’t sure they could afford to make a big change. My suggestion was to spend their few hundred dollar on thrifted finds and pops of color. Due to availability, [...]

    E-decorating + pink + florals = A sweet makeover

    When Megan emailed me and asked for a little help with decorating the oddly-shaped bedroom her two little girls share, I was very excited to get started!

After a break-up, Gabriell found herself living alone with the same bland beige style that her ex thought was “just fine”. Well, I knew this space needed some [...]

    Ellen’s Living Room Makeover

    When reader Ellen won the custom room makeover giveaway, she sent me her pictures almost immediately. And while her and her hubby’s living room/dining room space looks neat and functional, she says the space doesn’t reflect their taste. Ikea furniture from hubby’s bachelor days, and a giant red wall that was there when they moved [...]
