Lavishly Coordinated: Home Edition Mini Makeover

Dear Readers,
Welcome to another installment of LC Home Edition! Several months ago, I took the plunge and purchased a couch and envisioned a Retro Glam theme living room with modern elements.

BEFORE

The space had some key elements of the theme but lacked a true accent color and a certain je ne sais quoi.

I purchased a sunburst mirror and mirrored tea light holder to reflect light off the space. I also bought a few accents on Ebay to add a retro touch.

Fast forward to several months later and to a new apartment, I decided to update the space by giving it a Mini Makeover.. And of course I did it all for under $100!!

AFTER

I kept the existing zebra toss pillows and purchased a red silk toss pillow and faux fur throw. I brought in a beaded pillow from the bedroom for texture. I also added a sheer curtains to complete to look.

The accent pillows on the chair really do a job of tying in the color from the curtains.

I reused the authentic vintage Life magazines,Polaroid cameras and mirrored tea light holder from the previous space.


I anchored the Andy Warhol inspired picture on the adjacent wall and added a plant to fill the space.

On the opposite wall from the window, I made a "directors" nook from pictures and a chair I already owned and reused the toss pillows from the before picture above!

(Thanks to Mya for the directors nook inspiration :-)

Join me tomorrow as we choose lighting to complete my vision!

Lavishly Coordinated: Home Edition

Hi Readers!
This week I decided to do a surprise redesign on one of my good friends bathrooms. She had been undecided about the direction she wanted to take her bathroom for months. On a slow Thursday, I set out on a mission: To update this powder room for UNDER $100!

Take the before and after journey with me below:

Before

After

First I found this great curtain at Bed Bath and Beyond for under $20!


I knew I wanted to get a bath ensemble that complimented the white and gold hardware. I lucked up and found the tissue holder,cup,lotion dispenser and trash can on clearance at Target!

I picked up this bouquet from Michael's. Not only does it compliment the colors in the curtain it also adds texture to the space!

The pattern on the towel adds another element of interest.

Finally, I selected artwork to add more sexiness to the space!

I'm pleased at how the space turned out and most importantly my friend was pleasantly surprised!! Whew!
