Meet Brandia
Creator of House of eme
House of Eme is where I share everything I’ve learned from a decade of transforming the same rental – from the Splurge or Save framework to room-by-room guides, storage hacks, and landlord-approved upgrades.
This isn’t a blog about perfect spaces. It’s about real life with three kids (ages 15, 10, and 8), Sports schedules, purchase regrets, and furniture that’s seen better days. It’s about creating a home you love even when you don’t own it, even when it’s temporary, and even when the walls are still beige.
I’m a blogger now, but my background in visual merchandising and studying staging taught me how to see potential in any space – and how to create it without breaking the bank or the lease. If you’re renting and you’re tired of feeling stuck, you’re in the right place.
Who I Help
You’re renting. Maybe for a year, maybe for ten. You’re tired of living in a space that feels temporary, bland, or just… not yours.
You want a home you love – but you don’t want to:
Our Values
Honesty Over Perfection
I share what works AND what doesn’t. The things I regret. The sectional the kids destroyed. The wins and the mistakes – because real life isn’t a catalogue.
Budget-Conscious Solutions
You don’t need unlimited money to create a home you love. I show you where to splurge, where to save, and how to make every dollar count.
Rental-Friendly Always
Every strategy respects your lease, your landlord, and your security deposit. No permanent changes. No risky moves. Just solutions that work within your reality.

What Makes House of Eme Different
01. My Splurge or Save Framework
I’ve spent ten years figuring out what’s worth the money and what’s not. Quality cookware? Splurge. Trendy throw pillows? Save. This framework has saved me thousands – and I’m building it into a complete course launching later this year.
02. Real Rental Experience
Every strategy I share comes from my own rental. The good (peel-and-stick wallpaper that’s held up for four years), the bad (that sectional we regret), and the lessons learned (always keep original fixtures in a box).
03. Room-by-Room Guides
Not generic tips – specific solutions for living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, entryways, and more. Based on what actually works in our rental.
What I Believe
Home isn’t about ownership
It’s about belonging.
You don’t need to own a house to create a space you love. You don’t need unlimited budgets or landlords who say yes to everything.
You just need intention, creativity, and the willingness to work within your reality instead of waiting for perfect conditions. Renting isn’t settling. It’s an opportunity to build a home on your terms.
Your rental can feel like yours – with the right strategies, the right mindset, and the right guidance. That’s what House of Eme is about.
Real solutions for real renters who refuse to live in bland, temporary spaces while waiting for “someday.”
Your rental deserves better than beige walls and metal blinds. And so do you.
