Week Four | April 25 | Bedding & Vintage Linens
One of the inspirations for the Guest Room Refresh came from a collection of vintage linens I got from my grandmother. They weren’t in great shape, though, so I’ll show you how to care for and clean vintage linens, and how to use them to dress a cute bed — and make a room extra special.
Week Three | April 18 | Lighting & Windows
Week Three | April 18 | Lighting & Windows
Let there be light! The Guest Room is at garden level — a fancy way of saying it is basically a basement. The windows are at ground level, so I have brought in lots of light and window treatments that take advantage of the sunlight, too.
Week Two | April 11 | Repurposing Old Furniture

Week One | April 4 | The Before Tour
Week One | April 4 | The “Before” Tour
