This Transformed Upper Level Will Inspire You to Perk Up Your White Walls
Newlyweds Sharlene and David were feeling pretty blissful about everything their new life had in store for them... except for their home's disintegrating interior, that is. So they called in some expert help from Jillian Harris and the Love it or List it Vancouver team. After fixing major structural issues on the lower level, the designer gave this couple and their two daughters the dreamiest upstairs imaginable. Here's how she transformed the upper level into a swoon-worthy space that's anything but ordinary.
