Jacquelyn Clark transformed her small 700 square foot rental condo in Toronto's Distillery District into a stylish modern boho home on a tight budget. She used her skills as an interior designer and blogger to add personality through thrift store finds like a vintage cart coffee table refinished by her boyfriend. The condo features a gallery wall in the dining area and painted horizontal stripes to define the office nook. Simple decor accessories and a mix of inexpensive and splurge items like an embroidered Indian coverlet give the space style while working with her limited budget.

1. Condo tour: Modern boho chic
A builder-boring condo, tight budget and super-busy lifestyle might mean a very dull living space for
a lot of people. But not for Jacquelyn Clark, the Lark Linen blogger and former Style Me Pretty
editor who recently launched her own interior design business. With a keen eye for decorating and a
talent for transforming bland into beautiful, Jacquelyn turned the 700-square-foot rental condo she
shares with boyfriend Justin Gagne in Toronto's Distillery District into a chic home full of
personality.

2. Living area
The scene-stealer in the living area is the vintage cart-turned-coffee-table picked up for a song. "We
found it tucked in the back of a vintage shop, unfinished and missing a few boards," says Jacquelyn.

3. Boyfriend Justin Gagne completely refinished it.

4. Dining area gallery wall
An arrangement of artwork and Jacquelyn's own travel photographs makes up the gallery wall in the
dining area. Eames-style chairs pull up to a simple, inexpensive dining table, which sits below a
sleek modern pendant light.

5. Office nook

6. Painting the bumpout wall with wide horizontal stripes is a budgetfriendly way to differentiate the
office nook from the rest of the living area. Jacquelyn left the feet of the desk unpainted for a stylish
dipped look.
Decor accessories
Simple and stylish decor accessories help decorate Jacquelyn's office desk.

7. Save and splurge design
Like the rest of the condo, the bedroom is a smart mix of save and splurge items. An embroidered
coverlet Jacquelyn picked up in India, for example, shares space with toss cushions by Brooklyn-
based textile designer Rebecca Atwood.

8. DIY artwork
The white IKEA nightstand in the bedroom was customized with a new brass knob. Jacquelyn
created the artwork above the bed with her own travel photos, which she altered in Photoshop and
then had printed.

9. Stylish storage
In the bedroom, Jacquelyn's jewellery is displayed in a inexpensive and stylish way.
