Redo Your Room

Redo your room: Let there be light!

 
Summer’s a great time to redo your room. Before you start from zero, remember that a couple small changes can make you, um, see things in a new light. Then switch around some furniture, pop up a couple cute new snaps in some frames and, viola! A new room that cost you nearly nothin’!
