Host Joan Steffend tours an apartment where the owner has brought in designer touches to his small space while sticking to a money-saving budget.

  • He replaced the curtains with simple window shades that pull up from the bottom.
  • Instead of a traditional headboard, he found a dining table top the exact dimensions of his queen-size bed. Painted black, it looks like a high-end piece of furniture. Table trays, also painted black, are placed sideways to look like designer tables.
  • Old trunks at the foot of the bed not only add a chic look, they also provide necessary storage.
  • The bathroom floor tile was cracked and shabby, so he purchased a roll of seagrass carpet, cut it to size the fit the dimensions and laid it in place.
  • He cleaned up the kitchen floor with peel-and-stick linoleum tiles in a classic black-and-white checkerboard pattern.
  • He replaced the wood centers of two kitchen cabinet doors with glass to reveal his white dinnerware and the beadboard behind it. A mirror leaned up against the kitchen backsplash below the cabinet helps to open up the cramped space.
