Hi! I’m Brandia,

And I’ve been transforming the same rental for 10 years with my family of 5.

House of Eme is where I share real rental decorating strategies – from my Splurge or Save framework to room-by-room guides that work within landlord restrictions and tight budgets.

If you’re new here, this page will help you find exactly what you need.

My Signature Method:

Splurge or Save

I’ve figured out exactly where to invest your money and where to save.

The Framework:
