We may think that we spend most of our time in the living room or kitchen, but that's not true. In fact we spend 1/3 of our lifetime sleeping in the bedroom! So it's safe to say that we should spend more of our decorating dollars towards the master bedroom but that's not the case. If you feel like you need an update in your master bedroom but don't have a large budget, let me help you out there. In today's episode we will talk about spending $150 to update your master bedroom in 4 different ways.

Let me share the process of what we did to help get her design and decorate her new home from top to bottom.

Home staging became a part of my world in 2002 when I sold my first home. Back then I didn't call it home staging. It was just a way to get the house look nice and presentable to home buyers. So what is home staging? That is exactly what we are going to talk about with home staging myths, what is home staging and what isn't home staging.
