Look Expensive Without Spending Much
Because great design isn’t about money — it’s about strategy.
There was a time when I was completely broke, but I still wanted my space to feel good. So I got scrappy. Thrift stores, Facebook Marketplace, curb-alert finds — that was my design school. Hunting for pieces, fixing them up, mixing styles… all of it built my design muscles in a way money never could.
And eventually, I realized something that changed everything: rich people aren’t better at design — they just buy more stuff. Good taste isn’t about budget. It’s about intention, creativity, and knowing how to make what you already have work.

The Truth About Money
Impact > price
Lighting fixes more than furniture ever will
Budget design is about the order you buy things in
