Now, everybody should be able to manage this. You don't have to be a jetsetter or one of the top 1%. You just need creativity and a discerning eye. And patience!

Unfortunately, the author forgot to write captions for the photos but you can tell which is the Before and which is the After.

You're forgetting that not everybody has creativity or a discerning eye...

I have lots of creativity and a very discerning eye.....however, I am too lazy to do all that work myself!

She did a great job.

She must have spent the bulk of it on the kitchen, the only room I see as truly transformed.

And not everybody has the ability to take a 'mere' $6600 just to redecorate, regardless of their creativity or discerning eye.

For those like me who lack the interior design or creativity gene, there are magazines (or the interwebs). Cut out pictures of things you like and try to copy them. I get a Do It Yourself magazine from Better Homes and they have all kinds of fairly easy projects one could try.
Take measurements of spaces in your home where you might use something new and keep them in a little notebook in your purse, along with a tape measure. then if you come upon something that might work in your space, your ready.

Yesterday when I was out, speakin' of which, there was a pretty old armchair on the side of the road 'free.' It was wood, as far as I could tell, the upholtery was in terrible shape but I could see those brass tacks/rivets so figured it must have been a nice piece at one time. If I'd had a place for it, I would have gotten out of the car and taken a further look.

It doesn't look that much better LOL. But whatever turns you on! Maybe I am not seeing the improved pics.

That green velvet living room sofa and pink velvet dining chairs were certainly not found on the side of the road.

What did she spend $6600 on? I see a bunch of thrift store furniture that cost well under $2000.

Am I missing something?
