DIY decorating guru Kristan Cunningham, pictured at right with Bean, has brought her bargain-hunter style to an unexpected locale: a stately 1925 L.A. house that looks considerably richer than her old ‘Design on a Dime’ makeover projects.
The house is more than a lesson in how modern tastes can live within period architecture.
It’s also proof of how Cunningham, who’s in production on a new design show for OWN, still channels her inner bargain junkie, turning out a mix-and-match look that feels more luxurious than it costs.

The bed floats in the middle of the master suite, the exterior exudes a period flavor and the living room is an eclectic mix of old and new.
