$500 Room Makeovers

$500 Room Makeovers

â€œLiving in a home that doesnâ€™t reflect your personal style is like wearing someone elseâ€™s shoes: They may do the job, but they will never feel right.â€ â€”Lisa Quinn

Our homes are a reflection of who we are and what we love. But many of us are full of creative ideas and donâ€™t have the cash to see them through. According to television host and designer Lisa Quinn, you donâ€™t have to break the bank to express your personal style.

In more than twenty fabulous room makeoversâ€”each accomplished for less than $500â€”Quinn shows how to make the most of a roomâ€™s best features and how to spruce up the rest. Thereâ€™s a theme for every decorator: Dramatic Rooms, such as the Surfer Chic Lounge and the Moulin Rouge Studio; Classic Rooms, like the Botanical Dining Room and the Peaceful Bedroom; Exotic Rooms, including the Mexican Living Room and the Moroccan Den; and Childrenâ€™s Rooms, like Flower Power or the Cowpoke Nursery.

Quinn also offers creative ideas for easy, inexpensive home projects to overcome room-specific design challenges and add a personal touch to your room redos, such as:

â€¢Realistic-looking â€œwoodenâ€ beams or a pressed-tin fireplace made with embossed wallpaper and silver spray paint

â€¢Expensive-looking wall art made simply from framed swatches of fabric or homemade paper

â€¢Whimsical details like a working fountain or a teddy bear topiary for a childâ€™s nursery

Whether youâ€™re a young decorator-on-a-dime or a habitual makeover fan, $500 Room Makeovers will inspire you to create a room thatâ€™s easy on the eyes, and even easier on the wallet.
