When Tiffany from La T Dah saw the For Sale sign at the house around the corner, she had to peek inside.
Did the fact that it only had one bathroom – that wasn’t functioning – scare her away?
No way, she scooped up the house and set about transforming it into a fully furnished rental property.
Orange and Blue Decor
Thrift shops, side of the road castoffs and yard sales were Tiffany’s BFF.
This foyer stencil gets extra punch by adding …
1,200 thumbtacks!
And she’s got the numb thumb to prove it!
See how she did it here.
Check out this simple way to make a chevron coffee table here.
No measurements or patterns involved!
Can you believe Tiffany found this bar cart on the side of the road!
The lampshade gets a lift with with mod podged (my new word) napkins.
Oranges – of course!
$2.99 tea towels from Target make a fun window treatment.
Fabulous blue dresser gets a second life.
It’s all in the details.
Love the shaggy orange pillows.
Not only are there 1,200 thumbtacks in the foyer,
the curtains have thumbtack studded trim too!
That is one fun house!

You’ll definitely be inspired!

Kelly–this is very cool! LOVE the curtain fabrics. I’d love to be able to have more “fun” with my house, but there are all those crazy rules for historic properties. Thanks for sharing!
But the rules are for the outside only – aren’t’ they? You can pretty much go crazy and paint your walls like Jackson Pollack if you wanted!
Kelly,
My thumbs are hurting…..just reading this post 🙂 Love all the pops of color and the bright orange chevron rocks!

That wall is absolutely awesome, I can see myself going a little nuts trying it myself! I’m heading to check how to make a chevron pattern with no measurements…that’s my kind of project.
Kelly,
Tiffany did a great job breathing life and color back into this home. I especially like the vintage look for the kitchen and how the bedroom turned out. Did she get it rented?
Enjoy this sunny Saturday!

She rents it short term – for people to have parties, meetings and the like.
I see a pretty female shadowy figure in the TV. I know, I’m a geek always looking at the background for inspiration.

A sleuth – but have you noticed my reflection in a couple of my pics (hint, I’m wearing snowman pj’s in one of them)!
What fun, sunny decor ideas! I agree with Kari. That thumbtack project looks great, but hurts me just to think about pushing all of those in! Big props to her for enduring that! Love all of the thrifty decor ideas!

LOVE it! what a happy place to live!
Those are seriously lucky renters! The color combination works beautifully together. I’m a bit dumbstruck over that thumbtack project! Wowza and oucha …
🙂

Oh, wow! That’s incredible!!!
So inspired, I’m heading over to her blog now. thanks for sharing those spaces, I’ve been loving blue and orange together, so the more inspiration pics I have to show my husband (and build my case) the better!

Wow. It’s really playful and unique. What a fun, exciting space. All the orange make it really high energy!!
What a cute house to rent out. Love the fun colors and what amazing projects she did. Those Target napkin curtains are the cutest thing.
Kim – I just saw those Target napkins (and they have red apples and I think green limes too). I’m seriously thinking of doing that thumbtack wall! Kelly
ohhh…you KNOW I love THOSE colors! Well done!
I love these colors!!! I want some of that fabric, with the real oranges on it!
