PEPPIE'S PLACE
Now you would think that everyone I'm immediately related to and are friends with homes would be just fab. Well I'm here to tell there not (don't ask me why lol). I have been working with my sister Peppie (who lives hear in Atlanta with me) to get her living room space to look flawless under $500 bucks.

This is the before of one angle of her apartment. The one thing I don't like about the space which can be challenging is the number of door openings. Urghhh!!
Okay so when m sis first told me she wanted her colors in the living room to be red and green. My smile went from huge to not so. The only thing I could think of was Christmas colors.

I no I no Christmas is not so bad but.. but.. but.. It's Chrismas colors. I tried to show her other colors but she just wasn't going.. Aww boo for me..
Anywho we went with it. It took alot of lookin and looking and more looking for me to finally get inspired.
