Emily Henderson's Curbly Family Makeover

There's nothing quite like 'before and after' pictures.

New paint and a new furniture layout is so transformative in a room,
beautifully done here by Emily Henderson.

This is the home of the Curbly family in Minnesota.

Exciting News

I was officially asked to design an office space for a friend who works from his home.
When I say 'official' I mean he offered me money.

I've helped numerous friends with their homes but always felt silly taking money from them.
But now I feel it's not so silly.
It's what I want to do with myself, hopefully more so after kids are older.
Also, reading this helped.

Large's room redo is almost complete.
Her new bedding and curtains came last week and they look amazing with the new wall color.

This is her new wall color.

I also found a vintage bentwood chair for $35

that I'm painting mint green to go with the desk I scored on eBay for $99.

I love eBay more than most people I know.

True story.

And as long as I'm divulging everything, this is my new favorite table topper from Jayson

that I don't own but someday hope to.
