The little things

Slowly but surely the fiance and I are turning our rented townhouse into a home. And even though there's still a lot to do, we took care of a few, mostly small, projects.

After revamping the fiance's nightstand, adding doors to our bookcases, bringing in rugs to the office, adorning the coffee table with my DIY tray and hanging curtains in the master bedroom, I'm convinced design really is in the details. Changing color, adding a graphic pattern and hiding clutter are small and cheap ways to take a room to the next level.

Nightstand: Nothing a little wood filler and new paint color couldn't fix.



Bookcases: Adding doors provides an organized look, taking away from the clutter of the DVDs and CDs and shifting the focus to the upper shelves.



Office: A little graphic goodness goes a long way.



Coffee table: A pop of color is just what the white surface needed.


Bedroom curtains: Finishing touch frames the pretty window.

I see that Expedit bookcase with attached desk! I have one too in my kitchen. Love those things! Those doors make such a huge difference. Looks much more polished a neat. Great job sprucing the place up!
