Design on ANY Budget


Here is a great example of how to transform any room using a variety of resources and cleaning up something old to update your space.  
 
If it's possible, it's always nice to clear out the room you are updating so you have a clean slate to work with and make painting a lot easier.  Stand in your room and just visualize what you want it to look like.  That final look in your head will not happen over night.  A great room takes time and some rearrangement over and over to get it just right.  Be patient and it will come together.


Take your favorite item and display it.  You'll end up using and enjoying it more when can see it every daty.
 
For this small apartment, it just made sense to have a day bed that function as additional seating during the day.
 
Throw a dinner party and show off your "new and improved" space.
 
Surround yourself with beautiful and inspiring things.
                             

 
 
Set the mood with scented candles and flowers.
    

Simply accessorized.
 
 
Who says a bookshelf is just for books? Display what you love and show your personality.
                         

And after you've found a new use and a home for all your old and new treasures, please, please, please don't forget to...

         ENJOY YOUR SPACE!
