Seaside Parlor

Double Take : Episode HTAKE-110 -- More Projects »
Before: Not Loving Her Living Room
Homeowner Amy Nichols just recently bought a new home, but her living room furniture has already overstayed its welcome (pictured, right). She's ready for a grownup, unified look. The good news is she has found a look she loves; the bad news is the price–over $22,000.

The Inspiration Room
Designer Jona Collins explains that the look she was going for is very soothing and calm–a romantic seaside parlor. The key to her design is having expensive luxury accessories in a comfortable, relaxed setting. The subtle theme and crisp nature of the room is derived from the sandy color floors, the water-like blue walls, and the sparkle in the lamps and accessories.

The Double Take team–makeover designer Michele Addey, budget shopper Halili Knox, and carpenter Jamie Schmitt use their savvy skills to re-create this charming coastal retreat for less than $2,700.
