I adore the work of Angie Hranowsky. She has more than a knack for using vintage finds in a way that is never stuffy, but eclectic and colorful. Her Charleston, SC historic home is no disappointment, and features her trademark style and livability.
I can’t wait to fill my home with kid art, and the large pinboard behind the dining room table is such a clever way to feature it and change it out frequently.
Angie gives great tips on making a rental your own, or transforming your home on a small budget:
1. Paint everything you can, event kitchen and bathroom cabinets.
2. Change out the light fixture.
3. Invest in window treatments ( or make your own simple drapes out of a favorite textile)
4. Hang artwork – Angie claims that incorporating the correct artwork is one of the most important elements of her design vision.
5. Add natural elements, like a large plant of vessel of cut flowers to add warmth to your space.
Angie designed the bookcase above and had a friend build it out of reclaimed pine.
This peachy pink bedroom is so serene. The chrome bed keeps it from being overly romantic.
