Not-so-extreme home makeover


Laura Croft said it best, “I woke up this morning and just hated everything.”
Remodel joy since I love design so much it was a pleasure transforming
this





to this


Sergio installed some really nice wall to wall carpet at a decent price. The very kind people at west-elm were happy to fulfill my request for a chunky wall unit but their console table would have blown my budget. So after shopping around for a simple parson’s style console, I found this

at World Market and scored a matching coffee table. I purchased a side table at Lazy boy and thankfully IKEA came through with a great cappuccino table that makes a sweet television stand. Frontgate had these really soft chocolate chenille shag rugs. And I made the navy curtains after finding a fabric sale on craigslist. Throw in some cool art and a kick-ass Dell computer. A leather cube from Create and Barrel and the room is now transformed.
