Self-described as not your basic DIY, @britdotdesign’s account features the serene interiors of her own home that have a “desert deco” vibe, despite the fact that she lives in the Midwest. She calls her home her canvas and for good reason: The beautiful rooms were previously a sorely neglected ranch-style house. The results of the transformation are gorgeous: Casual, refined, unfussy and perfectly coordinated. Even if you’re not a DIY enthusiast, browsing through her creative projects is so inspiring! By the way, she makes her own furniture too.
