Renting can be GLAMOROUS

By 25 Comments

This apartment is extraordinary.
Yes, I said apartment.
Renting didn’t stop Samantha Zenger from having a well designed home.
She embraced white walls and neutral carpets.
I am in love.
I actually went to design school with Samantha.
I know right, I had some amazing classmates!
Darn good school 🙂
Her use of color and pattern are spot on.
I love the overall eclectic feel.
This can be challenging to accomplish, a fine balance between too little and too much.
I definitely wouldn’t mind blogging from this table.
and that rug…
I love how she embraced the red accents.
The perfect little kitchen.

This place makes me want to paint all my walls white!
Who said renting can’t be glamorous?

Thrifty Tuesdays: Match Interiors

By 24 Comments

One of my closest friends from Interior Design School just launched Match Interiors.
Whitney and Kevin, husband and wife, are the creative minds behind Match Interiors.
I have no doubt that they will be successful!
Their 2-year-old boy’s bedroom transformation is incredible.
Take a look!
Here is the bedroom with the previous owner’s furniture.
Once the room was cleared out they had a fresh slate.
Looks like a standard bedroom to me.
I am blown away by the transformation.
It doesn’t even look like the same room.
I love everything about this space.
Believe it or not, it was a thrifty design.
Almost everything was second-hand finds or DIY projects.
Luckily, Kevin has some mad carpentry skills and made the dresser and crib.
He also re-upholstered the wingback (free on craigslist) with ikea fabric costing $4.00!
So inspiring!
Also, my sunburst mirror is getting a little love at DIY showoff today.
how fun 🙂
