The assignment from my new client was crystal clear 🤍 Step 1: Transform their playroom into a cozy reading/playroom nook that also functions as an office space for an exciting new business venture. Step 2: Refresh the living and dining areas, add lighting, and create a meaningful family gallery wall. Step 3: Make the entryway more inviting while discreetly hiding shoes, school backpacks, and packages by the door. While we would have loved to paint the entire downstairs a more neutral color (and even whitewash the stone fireplace) we were mindful that this is a rental and a temporary home. Instead, we focused on smart, renter-friendly updates: adding curtains to warm the space and create privacy, getting permission to paint the fireplace mantel, and sourcing a few affordable furniture pieces from @wayfair and Facebook Marketplace. Nothing makes my heart happier than hearing clients say they feel more relaxed the moment they walk into their home…and the sweet hugs from their kids were the cherry on top. 🍒 Shop below. ⬇️ LTKhomedecor LTKorganizingtips LTKwayfair LTKtjmaxxhomegoods LTKbeforeandafterhome LTKbeforeandafter LTKHome LTKSaleAlert LTKFindsUnder50
