It is nice and thick and oh-so-pretty.

Currently it is 60% off making an 8’x10′ $224.00

Not a bad price either.

Or you could get a runner for $65.00!

This rug is offered in 6 other colors as well.

I seriously can think of a million places to put it. 

I want it bad.

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!

Art tutorial. Sunburst Mirror. Abstract Prints.

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!

xo,

I am sure you have noticed that things look a little different around here.

I got a blog makeover, cleaned things up a bit, and hopefully accomplished my ultimate goal of making things a little easier to find!

First, although I loved the look of my last blog design, I was ready for something a little simpler. 

Simple is what I got and I love it. 

For the design I purchased a pre-made template from Shiny Magic on Etsy. I am in the midst of saving up for a big blog revamp and hope to switch over to a .com, so a $70.00 template was perfect for now. The process was awesome, I purchased the design one afternoon and 24 hours later she had it ready to go!

Let me show you around…

Same as before, you can find all my pages right below my header.

I have done my best to update each page. 

I’ve added new pictures and a little more detail about my life and design business on my About Me page. I mean, I do think it’s time we become a little more familiar with each other right? 

Getting a new headshot is definitely on my to-do list.

I FINALLY updated my portfolio page. Although I still have several spaces that need to be photographed, it’s nice to be able to see some of my work all in one place. 

I added a button on the right-hand side of my blog that links directly to my affordable furniture shopping guide. You simply click on the picture and BAM you are there.

Gosh I love Glossi, such a great company.

I know you are on the edge of your seat by now, but hold on because it is about to get real crazy up in here.

I have fully updated my DIY Projects page! What? Can it be?

I actually surprised myself with how many DIY’s I have done. Apparently I like them.

If you are new around here, you might want to check them out.

And my personal favorite addition, I added some of my popular posts to the right-hand side of the blog.

I am also going to be introducing a few new design services in the next few months.  Hopefully something that will work for all types of budgets.
