Just Four Things | Submit a Space

I’ve been exploding with excitement to announce the return of a really fun series. If you have been reading for some time, you may remember, “Just Four Things.”  Lately, I have been very inspired in my own home to make small changes that create a big impact. I recently made changes in our dining room and our daughter’s room. Well, I am hoping to create a brand new space for one of you with just four things. I am a firm believer that you can really make a huge difference in a space by changing only a few things.

How does it work? I will work with one reader to infuse new life into their room with just four things. For example, we may choose to switch out a rug, bedding, lighting and artwork.  And unlike the last time I ran this series, we will not do it in four weeks but in the time that it takes to create a great space.

Who is involved? Other than the homeowner, I will also be asking my readers for their input along the way and asking all of you what you think would look great in the space. Ultimately, the homeowner and I will make the final decisions since the client is the one who will be living in the room and needs to LOVE it.

How do I get chosen? Because this is the bedroom edition, I am looking for homeowners who need to refresh either a guest room, master bedroom or child’s room. If you can answer yes to all of the items below, I would love for you to submit your space via email.

• Am I willing to paint or have someone paint the room? {If necessary}
• Do I have a reasonable budget to spend on new items in the space? {design fee waved}
• Am I willing to jump in and work on the room as it is designed?
• Can I take natural light photos {before and after} to be posted on A Thoughtful Place {or do I know someone that can take the photos for me?}
• Am I comfortable taking measurements, purchasing items online and communicating via email?
• Am I super excited about a brand new bedroom?

How do I submit my bedroom? 

• be sure you can answer yes to all of the questions above
• submit an email to: athoughtfulplaceblog@gmail.com
• attach 2 natural light photos showing the entire bedroom
• add “just four things submission” to the subject line
• include your name, city & state, and budget for the room
• include a link to a bedroom that inspires you

I will look forward to announcing the Just Four Things room soon! I can’t wait to work with one of you.

It’s my hope to inspire those of you reading to see that with just a few changes, you really can make a space feel current and beautiful. Maybe this will help you to look at your own rooms and jump start the process to refresh an outdated space.

UPDATE: We are no longer accepting submissions at this time. Thank you so very much for your interest. xo
