MY HOME, MY SPACE

What is your favorite area in your home and why?

I'm Shalini, all the way from India. Here is my space. It was originally a guest room which I decided to convert into a tv/entertainment room. The reason why I love it is because it's my first makeover ever and everything has been built from scratch. The effort is special to me. You can see the entire process on my blog.

What is your favorite area in your home and why?            

I hope you are well! I'm Jana Bek an Interior Designer & past DIY contributor here on MadeByGirl many times!  I wanted my petite 500 square foot studio to be featured in a "My Home, My Space" post. You so often talk about how trying it is, living in smaller NYC spaces & I thought my apartment could serve as inspiration to your readers who share our plight.

I love my space because I set it up like a hotel room. As it's all in one room essentially, I choose to show off my bed, friends often sit at the end of it, we pull out the stools, I set up a bar on my console & it allows me to entertain with ease. I think my space prove that chic spaces can come in small packages :)

MY HOME, MY SPACE

What is your favorite area in your home and why?

 Hi MBG readers! I'm Jaclyn an Interior Design Consultant and Owner of Pavilion Decor! Today I'm showing you My Home, My Space & telling you why I love it! My favorite space in the home that I share with my husband and two daughters would definitely be our living room.  This room took me a few years to wrap my head around with the unique "V" shaped fireplace and windows.  

I found choosing a furniture arrangement was difficult, and even as an interior design consultant I had a hard time choosing a direction.  I love so many styles and so many pieces that I finally had to take the leap and make a decision! 

I am so pleased with the way it turned out.  It works perfectly for cozy nights by the fire watching movies with my husband and daughters, entertaining friends, or working on my lap top with the natural light streaming in.  It feels clean, peaceful, and is the perfect fit for the way we live as a family. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
