So you're renting, and the bathrooms aren't quite the same size as what you use to have? Lack of storage space? Lack of wall space? Just lack of space - period? Here's a few small changes I made to one of our now small bathrooms. In our FL townhome before, we had 2 and a 1/2 bathrooms, offering both space + storage. Now we've gone to two, probably equally the size of our master bathroom before. A small space transformation like this can be done in a day. It's simple enough for a rental, or even a home staging if you need to sell. If you're looking for a simple weekend project for your home, this would be a great project to do, plus maybe add stencil or stripes to the walls for extra wow.

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.

This bedroom which is quite large (appx 35 x 26! was a challenge at best. Enjoy what we've done, and know that it is not quite done yet! Footboard bench is on the way, along with a beautiful chandelier. Enjoy!! I am!

This kitchen was updated using high end, solid wood cabinets obtained on craigslist and renovated to fit into my 10 x 11 kitchen. A wall was removed to open the space to the living area and the footprint expanded to enable more workspace.

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.

Converted an unused bedroom into an home office. I infused this room with lots of bright, soft colours. The patterns, textures and colours used in this room help to create an energetic and unique feminine feel.

We gutted the stick built kitchen and added my wonderful hickory cabinets, all new appliances and found the original pine floors from the 1918 cottage house.
