Before & After: A Teenage Bedroom is Completely Transformed into a Coastal LibraryHome Projects
My mom is always happy to see me. But the last time I visited, she was also a little nervous; I was about to tear up the house and disrupt her space for several days while keeping the plan shrouded in secrecy—all for a surprise Mother’s Day room makeover. As I’ve gotten older, I find Mother’s Day feels woefully inadequate. The person who raised you and sacrificed for you, for the better part of two decades (and beyond), deserves more than a text or card.

In honor of Mother’s Day, we asked designers what their moms taught them about decorating.
