This is our guest bedroom. I wanted to create a calm and relaxing space for our guests to feel at home, while still on a budget. I made the headboard, found end tables on Craigslist for $20, and recovered my mother's cedar chest.

Thanks! The walls are Behr's Mocha Accent. It's actually one of my favorite wall colors I've used. You can also see it in my Master Bedroom in the rest of my spaces.

Love your calm bedroom, I'm always looking for paint colors, love yours, but am
afraid of using dark colors. Can you share your colors?

What would you do? Need advice!, We've bought this cute little house for my mother-in-law to live in near the coast in Georgia. We can't decide what to do with the exterior to make it a bit more exciting. We are adding gutters and replacing/painting the brown boards all the way around. Any suggestions on what color to paint? We were thinking painting it all white.

Suggestions for color for front door? It looks like at one point it had shutters, but will it look weird since there's no room for shutters on the windows by the front door?

Any ideas or suggestions would be great - we're on a budget - so just looking for some easy cosmetic fixes. Thanks! , Home Exterior Design

GT500 Updated Garage, My husband wanted to do a garage makeover. We did it on a budget - all of the cabinets are from the Habitat for Humanity Restore. The posters down the left wall I designed of all of his past cars. I let him choose and hang all of the other decorations. , Other Spaces Design

Our Brown and Green Master Bedroom, We already had the sage green duvet and some brown and green accents in our master bedroom. The zebra painting above the bed was a gift, so I decided to paint the walls and incorporate a bit of the animal prints. , Bedrooms Design

Small Master Bedroom, Our master bedroom was very dated and full of mistakes - bad window treatment, awful wallpaper and not enough storage. We put in closet systems and added a storage bed. We removed a dark wood "feature" wall and brightened up the space. I hope you like it. , Bedrooms Design

MUCH NEEDED MAKEOVER....110 year old house in city of Chicago!, This is an 11x17 foot master bedroom in a historic home in the city of Chicago. It was previously clad in floor to ceiling rose wallpaper and curtains--even the closet! Storage is a premium in an old home, so furniture was chosen to maximize storage capacity. All done on a budget! , Bedrooms Design

Master Bedroom, Ok, after my 1st post everyone's complaint was the length and color of my sheer curtains, (they looked very funny because they were 63" long on a tension rod in the window. all that because my landlord is a pain in the butt) I wanted it to have a coastal look and I had brown sheers, so I changed to white and I didn't like, I changed it to pale blue and I didn't like, so after all the stores hating me for so many returned products I decided to go back to brown. I did decide to put a few holes that I was not allowed on the wall to be able to use 84" long sheers. (I had them in tension rods because my landlord does not allow mounting and painting at all). Someone suggested command hooks and that was a wonderful idea the problem was I could not fit my rods in the hooks so I went to the hardware section and bough tiny mug hooks and opened them a little to be able to fit the rods in them, so now the holes on the wall are so tiny that I can take care of them later and I really doubt that my landlord will ever notice that. After doing that, I still wasn't in love with them, so I made my own valances for them and OH GOD, I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE WHOLE ROOM!!! The valances added so much height to the walls and the best part they didn't cost me one cent, I made them with all the stuff I already had at home. (We are in a very tight budget because I am a stay home mom and we are trying to save money to buy our own place so everything HAS to be cheap!!!) I loved the brown sheers just because I cannot paint my walls and they match the bedroom so well and they come to life against my plain white walls, so instead of coastal, I am going with the nautical theme now, under that theme I can keep my dark furniture and I just need a few more things to make it more nautical and voile, I will have a "beach" themed bedroom without having to change my whole furniture and I won't have to have light colored sheers that are just not flattering against white walls. What do you think? There's one wall behind the tv that I need to add some decor to it, later I was thinking about making some wine crate nightstands add some decorative boats or some nautical decor to them and I want to keep everything blue and brown. They are my favorite color period!, Bedrooms Design
