I’m not one to brag or anything, but this is legit. Joanna Gaines could take some lessons on interior decorating from Beth Carlson.

This isn’t exactly a fixer upper, but our Beth took this dark room in their new house (decor from previous owner),

and turned it into this lovely, light, inviting room.

You’re probably wondering how the mother of 6-month-old twins and a 2-year-old could manage such a large project. (See how I did that? Darling, aren’t they?)

Beth uses the same trick Joanna uses——she hires someone to turn her ideas into reality!

And with no small amount of mess in the process.
