About this Challenge

Like us, you're likely sitting at home a lot more often lately. You might be getting tired of looking at the same posters on the wall from your college dorm room and over your beat up couch. If you had an unlimited budget to design your dream home, what would it look like? If Bobby Berk was your fairy godmother, what would your new space be like?

Enter the challenge by telling us everything about your dream home and include any inspo you have dreamed up. Feel free to share any and all Instagram saved posts, Pinterest boards, or even embed some of the pieces you'd like to purchase if you had an unlimited budget to spend. Roll up your sleeves, get out the painter's tape, and start planning your remodel!
