From Custom Sofas to the Perfect Rug: My Living Room Makeover

In this episode, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes look at my living room makeover—from designing custom sofas with Birmingham Wholesale Furniture to finding the perfect durable rug to complete the space. I walk through why I chose custom over ready-made, what details mattered most, and how I’m giving my old sofas new life through reupholstery.

If you’re choosing new furniture or hoping to elevate what you already own, this episode is packed with practical, real-life design tips!
