Some people go the extreme makeover route (cough, Heidi).

But when it comes to your home, it’s better to start slowly. Like with a one-room nip/tuck from interior designers Julie Massucco, Melissa Warner, and Carrie Miller of Massucco Warner Miller.

The trio starts by piecing together a budget to determine where to best spend your cash (a classic sofa) and where it’s safe to cut corners (cheapo side tables).

It’s all laid out for you in a presentation that depicts your lifestyle, whether you want a Fido-friendly living room or fancy bedroom sanctuary. Your room is then ready to be refreshed with MWM’s reworked vintage finds and a fresh coat of glossy paint.

And the best part? Spencer isn’t included.
