Create the Home of Your Dreams!

Renting doesn’t mean settling. I’ll show you how to create a home that’s uniquely yours—whether your landlord lets you paint or not.
I help renters like you transform boring, builder-grade spaces into homes you actually love—without breaking your lease or your budget.
After 10 years in the same rental, I’ve cracked the code on renter-friendly design through step-by-step tutorials, budget breakdowns, and honest product recommendations. I show you what works, what’s worth the money, and what you can skip.
From peel-and-stick wallpaper to lighting swaps, from clever storage hacks to strategic furniture placement—I’ve tested it all so you don’t waste time or money figuring it out yourself.
Ready to stop waiting and start creating? Let’s turn your rental into a home you’re proud of.

Hi, I’m Brandia Jones

I’m a mom of three who’s been renting the same home for the past 10 years. When I moved in, I thought I’d just “make do” with beige walls and boring fixtures until we could buy.

Then I realized: Why wait? This is my home NOW.

So I learned how to transform rental spaces without breaking leases or budgets. I’ve painted accent walls (with permission!), hung wallpaper that peels off clean, and turned builder-grade boring into coastal-modern beautiful.

Now I help other renters do the same. Because you deserve a home you love—whether you rent or own.
