Marie, with the help of Erika Ward Interiors, learned how to use the furniture and accessories she already had to create a space she now loves. In case you missed the process, in a previous post I discussed 4 Ways to Save Money on Your Design Job. With each step, I demonstrated how I was able to help Marie achieve this transformation:
Here is one project I forgot to mention in the previous post. I purchased 1 yard of this fabric from Lewis and Sheron and used this tutorial to take her dull office chair from drab to fab!
Marie’s new curtains look great in her newly transformed space. She can always add decorative trim to the panels if she wants to give them a customized look.
Marie is so satisfied with her new office, we are now moving on to her guest room….
Here are a few take home points when designing your own space.
I hope you enjoyed following me through this process! Is there anything here you would like to try in your space?

Frau, the wall color is Coral Reef by Sherwin Williams. The photos don't show how beautiful the color really is. The bookcase is now in the closet in the office along with her file cabinet.
