Carmen De La Paz  on How to Give Any Room a Quick & Lovely Makeover
 Jealous of all the home designs you see on Pinterest, but scared to try it yourself? It’s actually easier than you think to give a room a fresh new look. All you need is a little inspiration, a little preparation and a little perspiration.
According to HGTV’s Carmen de la Paz, there’s no need to strip down your house and start over every time a new trend gets hot. There are lots of easy (and cheap!) projects you can do yourself right at home to spruce up your space while staying modern. Carmen talks about:
- Â Going beyond the bare wall: people are using bright colors, patterns and also multi colored walls in the same room.
- How to get inspired by social media and get ideas from Pinterest and Etsy
- Easy DIY projects that can spruce up your home for under $100 like table runners, picture frames and more
