This is a wall in our living room that I turned into a wall gallery and the dresser on the wall is a freebie that I refinished. All the frames came from Goodwill and thrift stores that I painted black.

After Hurricane Sandy in 2012, I made a major purge of closets and storage areas around here I made donations to local thrift establishments and sent donations to New Jersey Sandy Survivors. With the spaces being cleared, it made it easier to get the house holiday & guest ready. Using items I already had plus some pieces I had collected from thrift, I was able to convert the last room in our rental home into a guest space for under $450. Mixing in wood pieces and collected baskets added texture plus helped warm the otherwise grey + black + white space. I created another gallery wall with photos I captured in Florida & framed - a nice little escape for us here in AZ. Because most pieces were already on hand - minus the sleep sofa - I was able to get this space done in a day. What helped a lot was the existing neutral foundation of gray walls and the beige carpet.

Home office furniture gets a fresh facelift with a crisp white coat of paint and new hardware. Taupe, black, white, and browns lend a calming effect and make an inviting space for computer and homw office tasks.

This is my living room in our 1030 sq. ft. condo. It's a well used room with high ceilings. My husband and I have a lot of hobbies so we have collections of all sorts of things. I wish we could streamline but we're both too emotional about our collections. We have two young boys so storage is an issue. We love color but I have to admit the most relaxing rooms to me are sparse with mostly white furnishings.

My dining room was looking boring and dated. I wanted to give it an updated look without painting and without buying new furniture. I updated it with a couple of diy projects and by changing some of the accessories.

Had some leftover furniture from my marriage and have collected things over the years since. Even though I like the things I have - I'm not sure about how I've put them together.

This is my dining room and I have been working on this room and my living room for a while now. I'm always making changes cause I get bored very quickley. I think I'm finally satisfied with my diningroom. My family spends a lot of time in this room so I wanted it to be warm and inviting. I did a picture wall this room and I really love it. I took many of the photos that are hanging up. I have a high ceilings so I know the chandelier looks high but it's the original chandelier and my home was built in 1890 and I don't want to replace I know it could be hung lower but I don't want to take the character out of it. I added a few new things panels are new, new rug and I re hung the pics on the wall. The tea set was my mother in law's and is a antique. I like how it looks in here. I would like to add a art piece in this room just not sure what. Also the rug is new. I could use some help with accessories I'm horrible at picking them out. I'm open to all comments. Thanks!!

We opted for a neutral basis for our first nursery. We wanted the main pieces to be able to grow up with our family instead of quickly becoming outdated.
Once we found out that we were having a girl we added the pops of color-peachy/pink and buttery yellow.
We kept the room traditional with a touch of vintage or modern country as I call it.

NO TEMPLATE GALLERY WALL: Created last August in our FL Townhome, a month before learning we were moving. Although it was for Fall, it's simple enough to use for anytime of the year. The gallery wall created from thrifted frames, free frames (were fitting room frames and a mix of animal prints. Animal prints are scrapbook paper prints and faux fur fabrics. Bottles on table are wine bottles white washed inside. To give the space a cohesive feel, the rustic accent wall is a wash of three colors currently used the home - light grey, dark grey and mocha. For more info on how I created this NO TEMPLATE galllery wall, visit my blog to read the post: http://nyclq-focalpoint.blogspot.com/2011/08/how-to-make-no-template-gallery-wall.html

This is my daughters "big birl" room. She insited on pink, but I refused to paint the walls pink so I opted for a light blue gray on the walls to accent all the hot pink decor.

This is my first post-college rental apartment. With barely any budget, I had to reuse a lot of old stuff I had collected from my weekly trips to fleamarkets and thrift stores. I am an artist, so I wanted my space to feel like a reflection of me, that means a lot of quirky eclectic things hanging out all around. I don't buy art, but I made an art wall with my favorite paintings. I love candles, so I used old tiny glasses as holders for tea-light candles. Rugs are expensive, so I used an old canvas sheet I had painted as a rug under my coffee table(which I bought from Goodwill for $20 and spray painted to add some charm I also have proudly hung my pothos plant from the ceiling in the entryway, it gives the empty space a focal point and makes me believe that I don't have a black thumb!

I decorated this wall which is directly across from my bed, to inspire me as soon as I woke up. It includes a tree branch I found on vacation, my son's initial, pictures from nature, and a reminder to "realize how good I am"
