As a home stylist, I was excited to sink my teeth into this mid-century modern makeover project! This one needed to be done on an itty-bitty budget because the owner wasn’t out to create his dream home – he was selling the house. The home was a former rental property. So the owner wasn’t interested in doing an amazing makeover or renovation, he just wanted the house market-ready. There is so much MORE we could have done with this place, to truly make it amazing, but that wasn’t within the scope of this project. Our job was to create as much transformation as possible on as small a budget as…

Stunning Gold Glass Mosaic Tile
Contemporary Hall by Carlsbad Tile, Stone & Countertops Oceanside Glasstile My granite is finally on the way so I have to ramp up my long running quest for the perfect glass mosiac tile for my kitchen back splash. I can clearly see in my mind the tile that I want, just having a hard time tracking it down.

Easter Mantel Decorated with Wreath and Bunnies
Really pretty Easter Mantel decor from Better Homes and Gardens. A round boxwood wreath with two blue Easter eggs dangling from its top is suspended by a powder blue ribbon on a rectangular mirror above the mantel. Candles in crystal holders and potted plants adorn the mantel. At each end of the mantle sits a bunny, one elevated by a crystal candle holder. Another bunny sits near the center of the mantel, with three large Easter eggs nearby. Notice that the bunnies are not part of a matching set – each is an individual in his own right, and that makes this design extra interesting and gives it additional character.

Funky Hot Pink Powder Room
Love this funky hot pink powder room decor. Why not have a little fun and be a little bold when decorating your powder room? The cool thing is that being such a small room, its easy to change if you decide you don’t like it. “Your bathroom is a great place to test creative designs. Paint it in a bold color, hang an interesting piece of art, install eye-catching plumbing and light fixtures“. ~ Via lilblueboo.com

Fun Bedroom Decor
A really fun and funky bedroom comes alive with bold color and a polka dot pattern. A hot pink feature wall with white polka dots (wall paper) transforms what could have been a very basic room into one that’s super stylish and full of fun. I love how the neck roll cushion coordinates so perfectly with the feature wall. Love that kind of attention to detail. The white upholstered headboard creates a terrific sense of contrast up against the hot pink wall. From Emily Clark

Formal Living Room with Stone Feature Wall
A warm but elegant mood is created for this formal dining room through warm wood tones on the floors and a warm golden undertone to the stone feature wall. Blue paint on the wall provides an appealing contrast to the light colored upholstery on the dining room chairs. The row of framed art across the wall creates some terrific visual interest for dinner guests to enjoy.
