Fariha from Pennies for a Fortune recreates the home of Gwyneth Paltrow for #DIYTheRoom
Gwyneth Paltrow's style has always been effortless, elegant, and easy and I wanted to put together a room that I think best represents her. I went with a neutral palette with some color thrown in to create a visual break. Add in some interesting textures and a mix of styles, and we've got ourselves a simple yet elegant room which is easy to redo just by switching out accessories with pops of color!

Ashlee from My So Called Crafty Life recreates the home of Miss Marple for today's #DIYTheRoom
One of my absolute favorite fictional characters is Agatha Christie's Miss Marple, the spinster detective. I chose this collection of projects based on what I imagine her home to look like. She was from that generation where they were very fluent in needlecrafts. I imagine beautiful floral fabrics and knits around her little cottage like plush knitted rugs and blankets, lace lampshades, beautiful tea cups and china, and beautiful patchwork floral pillows. I think this ensemble of crafts would fit her perfectly!
