My original plan was to hang these frames in a gallery style on the wall behind my green and white striped sofa. But after propping them on the window sill, I fell in love with the trendy look of the layered frames, so I decided not to mess with something that's already perfect.

Hard to believe it's the same room, isn't it? Same bunk beds, same window, same layout but it looks completely different. Check out the before and after pictures of this small cottage bedroom décor.

Empty frames are such a creative and chic way to dress up your walls, all without spending any money on actual artwork.

We kept the background neutral and jazzed up the look with...

This narrow wall in my daughter’s bedroom was begging for attention. It looked bare and unfinished compared to the rest of the room. Although it’s a small wall space, it was a challenging one to style. The wall is narrow, sandwiched between two doors and has two light switches and an electrical outlet.

Our contractor thought I had completely lost my mind when I said I wanted to paint EVERYTHING white in our cottage’s main living space. Everything, including the ceiling, walls and all the trim. Some say that painting a cedar ceiling white is a no-no because the wood adds charm and character to a space. But I had other plans for our old cottage, and charming was not what I was going for. So...

We gave a basic builder grade powder room some much needed love. It used to be dark and sad looking. We brought it to life with some bright floral wallpaper, a pretty light fixture and a glossy white ornate mirror. We did all of that with a minimal budget. The room couldn’t have been any more basic. It had a standard pedestal sink, brass and nickel faucets, a bevelled oval...

As most of our regular readers know, we’ve spent a lot of time renovating the Purple Door Cottage over the past few months. It’s fun to reflect back on the journey, and it seemed like the perfect excuse to try out Flipagram. We used the app to create a video slide show highlighting our favorite scenes captured as the renovations and redecorating came together. The video was super easy to create, and it seems to...

Here’s my bathroom before and after. There was nothing wrong the way it looked before, but because of the high ceiling I felt that something else was needed above the black and white...

Art doesn’t have to be expensive. You can make your own one-of-a-kind pieces just like I did in this easy DIY wall display. The best part is that you can customize your art to fit your style, décor and most importantly your budget.

Despite a tight budget and very little time, we were able to transform this teenager’s bedroom into a mature grown-up space that is serene and restful. This one-day makeover was achieved simply by rearranging the furniture, adding new pillows, and by borrowing a few accessories from other rooms in the house. We started by moving the bed in front of the windows, which made the bedroom look more spacious and...
