To see the house before and after, it’s like night and day. No reno work was done; the transformation was accomplished only through decorative changes. (Okay, so they did get rid of one unnecessary door, but that barely counts.) Design and DIY influencers Holly and Brad Lauritzen of @ourfauxfarmhouse, Fariha Nasir of @pennies_for_a_fortune, and Danielle Guerrero of @ournestonpowell were tasked with redoing different areas of the house. And everything used in the transformation was from Home Depot. Since decorating is the next step after renovating or doing home improvement work, it seemed logical to Home Depot to enter that space. The store is “not just do-it-yourself, it’s decorate-it-yourself,” explains Corinne Bentzen, general manager for The Home Depot Home. “If you think of us a few years ago, would you have thought we’d have a winter wonderland in our stores for the holidays or an amazing Halloween presence? " notes Bentzen. And she’s not wrong: Home Depot sold the viral 12-foot skeleton and has gained a reputation as a seasonal decor hub. “That has all evolved, so this is the beginning of journey for us.” Here are six truly good ideas we spotted while touring the home. Wallpaper used to be thought of as a huge project that was more home reno than design, but Bertzen sees that changing in part thanks to the rise of DIY influencers who post how-to videos. “Just having a video on how to do [a project] has made it so much more attainable for everybody than having to figure it out,” comments Bertzen. “You just feel so much more confident to be able to take it on.”
