Low-Budget Style
Atlanta designer Heather Hogan Roberts took objects and decor that the homeowner already owned to stay under her $500 budget for a living room makeover. She bought new curtains, a rug and small pieces of furniture, such as side tables and a woven stool used as an ottoman. Roberts, who owns Ivy and Vine, reworked and styled the existing accessories and furniture—a low-cost alternative to buying new items for a designer look.
