DARINA: Rules are meant to be broken.

Hi, my name is Darina and this is my daughter Scarlett, and welcome to our home in Murrieta, California.

I was set on doing everything like a farmhouse style. But as we moved in and I actually got to see every room, I decided to kind of mix everything up.

My bedroom before was really plain. It was missing something. It really needed that wow factor.

Now, the room has so much character when you walk into it and you see that beautiful lush color. It’s like a canopy over my bed.

When I have guests coming over it’s like that breath-taker, like “I’ve never seen something like that before,” and I love that because doing things the way that people have always done it, it’s boring.

It’s so fun to step out of your comfort zone and bend the rules a little bit. I think it’s me.
