Tour the home of one of my favorite designers, Angie Hranowsky

FREE IMAGES I adore the work of Angie Hranowsky. She has more than a knack for using vintage finds in a way that is never stuffy, but eclectic and colorful. Her Charleston, SC historic home is no disappointment, and features her trademark style and livability.

I can't wait to fill my home with kid art, and the large pinboard behind the dining room table is such a clever way to feature it and change it out frequently.

Angie gives great tips on making a rental your own, or transforming your home on a small budget:

1. Paint everything you can, event kitchen and bathroom cabinets.

2. Change out the light fixture.

3. Invest in window treatments ( or make your own simple drapes out of a favorite textile)

4. Hang artwork - Angie claims that incorporating the correct artwork is one of the most important elements of her design vision.

5. Add natural elements, like a large plant of vessel of cut flowers to add warmth to your space.

Angie designed the bookcase above and had a friend build it out of reclaimed pine.

This peachy pink bedroom is so serene. The chrome bed keeps it from being overly romantic.

If you're ever in Charleston, Angie recommends you check out:

An elegant home in white and beautiful antiques.

FREE IMAGES Rue Magazine's latest issue features a dreamy home tour of the mother of Sacramento Street's Caitlin Flemming.  Sometimes I hear the word "flea market" and visions of over-cluttered spaces fill my head.  Not this home.  A handful of beautiful antiques create a base that is tasteful and elegant base for flourishes of carefully edited flea market finds and cherished travel momentos.

The home's aesthetic is also kept crisp and clean by white walls, which act as a canvas for mother Julie's treasures

What do you think of this home?
