Real-Estate Mystery

The pets have been relocated, opening up this space quite a bit. New furniture pieces, accessories and paint add depth, and now the sun can shine in, thanks to the removal of those dark window treatments.

The bedroom has been transformed into a light and spacious area and boasts new bedding, fresh wall paint and carpet. It ate up half the budget at $1,045, but created a view that could sell the house all by itself.

Cost Breakdown

carpeting $700
furniture $300
drywall and paint $170
window treatments $220
bedding $85
decorative accessories $400

Total: $1,985
