A corner of my living room. I think the only thing in the photo that cost any money was the curtain panel. Everything else was found or free. Oh, except the snowball quilt. I gave it to a friend for his birthday like twelve years ago. I was visiting him last year and saw he had it folded up under his desk to prop his feet on. Once I was done passing out and yelling at him I took it back.

This is the living room area before we decorated it. Good picture of the natural barnwood on the bottom of the walls and beetle kill pine on the ceiling.

Clinton Kelly won't just revamp your wardrobe -- he'll revamp your life!
The huddled masses yearn to be fabulous, and finally Clinton Kelly is heeding their call. As co-host of TLC's popular What Not to Wear, he regularly transforms dumpy fashion disasters into traffic-stopping, get-an-instant-promotion, reignite-the-passion-in-that- relationship makeovers. But fabulousness doesn't stop with style. Let's face it: you might look good, but if you're chomping on that crudite with your mouth wide open, nobody at the party will talk to you -- even if you can explain to them what crudite actually is.
Of course, the keys to being better than everyone else aren't always so obvious. Don't worry; Clinton's here to help.
