All in ONE afternoon.
First, I started a few days before the homeowner Erin and I went shopping.
I created a plan for us to follow and emailed Erin to see what she thought of the idea boards.

Erin and I started our day at HomeGoods.
We filled our carts and moved on to the next stop. IKEA.
Then Home Depot, Stable Tables, and back home to Erin’s to set everything up.
Erin’s budget was around $5,000.
We spent $3,000.
Don’t forget, we started with an EMPTY room.

I’m loving how this room came together. Are you?
And, since I am addicted to instant gratification, it’s fun to work with clients who are ready to make decisions and purchases to get the job done!
