Wide Open Spaces

BEFORE: The master bedroom was sparsely furnished and drab, with aging carpet and dated furniture. Justine's vision was to reconfigure the space, incorporating both sitting and sleeping area.

Mayhem in Miley's Room

Big Changes in Store

BEFORE: Rev. Run and Justine gave their son Russy the freedom to plan the redesign for his own bedroom. Russy wanted big changes for this space to create a more grown-up bedroom. His plans included a walk-in closet and private bath.

Little Space, Big Problem

BEFORE: With closet space running low, Diggy was forced to resort to this less-than-ideal system of storage. Justine's plan is to turn this portion of the room into a relaxing lounge area.
