Name: Aileen Allen
Location: Edmonds, Washington

My husband and I rent a 1200 square foot apartment in Edmonds, Washington — a little beach town about half an hour north of Seattle. Our decorating budget is pretty small, so our home is mostly filled with DIY projects that we’ve done and pieces from thrift stores and antique malls.

My favorite room is our living room…it’s the one that gets the most light, and the room that we’ve done the most to.

My favorite DIY project is probably my fridge — I added gold contact paper dots to it so it wouldn’t be quite so boring.

I also write an interiors & lifestyle blog called At Home in Love.

Thanks, Aileen Allen!
