It's OK to Have a Design Do-Over

"When I first moved in, I tried to create a whole 'Mr. Color Splash' look. I painted the living room walls turquoise and put an orange cover on the couch with red pillows. Then I stopped, looked around and said, 'I can’t live like this.' It was the ugliest thing I'd ever done. So I returned 80 percent of the stuff I bought, painted the room white and added some 'Mr. Color Splash' touches."

Star of the Room

"The OPEN sign is from a movie prop house (etsy.com has great vintage props, too), and it lights up from both sides. My boyfriend and I have to get the bulbs from Germany because they don't make them here anymore. At night, with it on, the whole place glows."

Raise the Roof

"The ceilings in this room are low, not even eight feet. I needed something to give the impression of height, and the wide horizontal stripes on these silk curtains did the trick. They make a big, bold statement, but they look timeless because of the classic color combo."
