I don’t know much about her style, but I did notice she already owns a few really cute pillows. A grey chevron, blue scalloped, and even a Caitlin Wilson floral pillow.
So I decided to take a fresh, graphic, and modern approach.
Since the budget is small (can’t we all relate) I wanted to get the biggest bang for my buck. Nothing stretches your dollar quite like paint! Stripes for the walls, a graphic black & white DIY painting on the fireplace (tutorial here, thanks Sarah for the room inspiration!), painted turquoise television stand, sunbust mirror, and playful art!
Here is a breakdown of my plan.
And now for my very very amateur photoshop job…
Wow, my photoshop skills are awful…but you get the idea.
I think that spruces up the space a little, don’t’ you?
Best part, it could all be done for under $150.00 and a little elbow grease.
Clearly this is not the only solution to this dilemma, so let’s hear what you would do.
What was your first thought? Would you keep it more simple? Go more bold? Let’s give this family some options!

Great suggestions! That is a pretty incredible transformation for $150! I hope the reader follows up so we can see what she does 😉
Me too! I am not sure if she has even seen it yet, so we will see if she likes it!
I think it’s an amazing transformation for so little! You really brought it all together.
Thanks! Paint is so powerful.
I love the artwork you chose! Where can I find it??
You can find the links under the design board!
I think a graphic rug would be awesome in the space! I can see some peacock blue jumping off well between the color of the floor and fireplace stone. Also, if you didn’t want to see into the open door in the hall space, maybe a fig tree next to the fireplace????
Cool!Great job with that kind of budget!
Such an impact for only $150!! Definitely agree about the stripes, the perfect way to elongate the space! Love the turquoise tv stand too!! Not sure if it’s an option, but painting the ceiling and fireplace white (maybe whitewashing the fireplace) could be a good option too. Thanks SO much for including my art tutorial!!
I think it would make a big difference if she was to paint the railing black or a really dark grey. It would be time consuming, but I thin it would make a big difference.
Love the space! It is pretty inexpensive to switch out the spindles on the railing to square ones. I would also paint the ceiling. I know it seems sacrilegious, but you won’t miss it, I promise!
