About "Design My Space"
As you know, I work with my husband, Justin, flipping houses for a living and even made a show about it called Busted Cribs. Many of our friends, family and viewers have asked questions about their own spaces-from living rooms to bathrooms to kitchens-and how THEY might be able to do some DIY transformations, themselves.
In response, I’ve created a new video series called Design My Space where YOU submit your questions and photos of your own space for me to review and give some ideas of what you COULD do along with tips, budget ideas, etc.
Here's how to do it:
Go to bustedcribs.com/design-my-space/ and submit your photos and questions about the space in your home that you'd love for me to review.
For instance, you can ask me about:
🟢 Bathroom ideas, such as vanity, mirror, walls, & shower / bath
🟢 Updating your kitchen with modern counters, lighting, and appliances
🟢 Rearranging (or even rebuilding) your living spaces, bedrooms, etc. that gives your family the functionality and look you desire
🟢 Laundry room ideas
I'll also provide links to some of my online boards where I've put together my favorite designs, hardware, and anything else that I might use to dress up the space where I'm designing.
