Dining trasformation

My last work  was a challenge, the owner did want to keep her dining set, and ask for a contemporary room.
This dining room was a little busy and did have no space at all.
The furniture is too big for the room, and dinining set is classic style. Let's see how I did.


this room was so out date . The lights was so 70's , and too withe!


We change the chandelier, and spray paint on the mirror. The frame  was too dark and heavy for the new look. Gray tones give a contemporary feeling.

antique mirror.


For this transformation we spend $23,00 on paint. Chandelier from Amazon cost $140,00, Glass Vase from Home Goods all tree cost $50,00. Hydrangea from Mitchael's was $ 24,00. Labor $100,00. Total cost $337,00.


Simple and elegant room for less than $400,00.

Flowers for your house

I love flowers!!
Flowers bring  life, energy and make your house cozy and pretty.
We have two choices, go with natural flowers or artificial.

Natural Flowers

We have to think about the season, It is less expensive flowers of the season.
Strong-smelling flowers are not  welcoming into your bedroom, it can cause headache and some kind of allergies.
The flowers will last longer if you cut the stems and change water every three days.

Artificial flowers.

Is important looking for the one that does not look to fake, stay away from those that it looks like plastic and velvet they are cheap and make the room go down.
Artificial plants are perfect for people who do not have time to take care of the needs that a plant has, nowadays the market offers many varieties.
Orchids is perfect choice  for comum areas, it's elegant and never going to be outdated even the fake ones.
I know you are going to find some pretty flowers On The Budget to make your house looks better.


                                                                European Hand Tie Bouquet


                                                         Classic English Arrangement


                                                        Classic American Style


                       Minimalist, modern, and clean look, this Calla Lillies are fake , but does not look like.




                Baby Breath, cheap way to do fresh flowers, is On The Budget, and quickly to do.


                Snap Dragon, it's pretty and elegant, you can mixed with any other kind of flowers, remember long stem flowers make statement.



        This fake Orchids does not look fake, is perfect for people who does not have enough time.


I hope you guys get inspired by this pretty ideas.

Before and After

I'm so glad!!

We did another transformation using a small budget.
I did used a lots of pieces that my clients had  at home.
Old frames, .mirror , switch furniture around, that is the key to not spend too much.
Let's see how looks before and after.
Living space looks good and welcoming.


When you first come in the house a wall from a family room was so empty and the other wall seems too tight , because the furniture is high this room did not have a enough lights, and the space was not feeling right. We decided to switch them to have more light and make balance in this room, now it is looking pretty and cozy.


                                                              Switch furniture around!

     The shelf was too cluttered and had too many portraits.We decided to organize the books and add some colorful items.

 We keep all the furniture, the rug and change some pillows and add yellow, turquoise blue as accent colors. Lamp shade from Home Goods, pillows from target and Pier one imports.


                                      Art wall, portraits, and vases from Home Goods!

This console table was in the dining room before we move it from there to make more space around the table. This console table was higher than the sofa we just cut a little be to make in same level.

On the Budget did again!!!

Banquet Table

I really love a banquet table style for a wedding!

Usually people use a round table for 8 or 10, but a long banquet table is so elegant and chic.
People stays close to each other.
If the reception room is narrow this style is very good solution.
You can use high or low center pieces  or mixing both,and candles is a very good choice too.
Is different and dramatic. I'm a big fan of that style.
Let's see some ideas.!

                                       People can stay close to each other is cozy.


Candles..a lot of candles....romantic and beautiful.


Modern way  mixed with vintage colors....lovely!!


Gorgeous....love it!!! white is little be cold all the the time but this is very inviting!!


Simple, but beautiful and classic.


     I told you guys in the beginning that i really love this long banquet table at my wedding i used!


                                                          My dream wedding!!


Modern and elegant..5 years ago!!

On the Budget is always looking for new ideas to make you think a little be out side the box!!
