Bite-Size Makeover

"Transform a corner of your home. Turn an unremarkable spot into a beautiful, inviting haven. Who says you have to redo a whole room at once? Take on just an unutilized corner using things you probably already have around the house,"or can purchase inexpensively at I.O. METRO. Real Simple does a great job of explaining how to create a creative corner in your home.

Dressing "Room"

All you need:
· A big mirror
· An ottoman
· A wall hook
· Something pretty to look at
· A throw rug
· A little table

Tips on putting it together:

· Think bare feet and bare skin when you’re gathering pieces for this spot. The ottoman and the rug should be soft.

· One wall hook―just enough for your robe or the dress you want to wear the next day―is better than multiples, which could easily cause clutter.

· Works of art and photographs that feel personal are especially nice in an intimate space like this one.

· If you’re near a window, you can scoot the ottoman up to the mirror and do your makeup here, too.

· Layering a small patterned rug over wall-to-wall defines a zone, creating coziness.
