KDFW Fox 4’s Good Day
July 2005
Topic: Boring to Beautiful Bathroom

Is your bathroom basic but boring? Susie McAuley, the real Susie Homemaker™ offers up simple cost-effective tips to transform it into functional and fabulous. First, Susie suggests evaluating the room’s color. It is the most powerful change you can make in a space without spending much money. On Good Day’s makeover bathroom, Susie takes the homeowner’s bathroom from ivory to a rich teepee brown she picked up at Home Depot.

Next she suggests looking at the room’s lighting. The makeover bathroom had a dated patina green fixture. Susie Homemaker switched it out for a Hampton Bay bathroom light she found at Expo Design Center that added warmth, character and lighting to the space. From there she brought in accessories that reinforced the rich luxurious feel -- mirrors, artwork, counter top trays, and towels all from Linens & Things.

If you have a window or windows in the room, Susie says to wow them. People often forget the windows in their bathroom, but adding a window treatment can be a final touch that makes a huge difference. Susie utilized a bamboo pole she found in the garage. She added brackets she picked up from Antique Drapery and Rod and modified a tobacco colored drape to add a dramatic touch to the space. The final result a warm, inviting designer bathroom with a spa like feel anyone can achieve, even on a budget.

Topic Dull to Dynamic Dining Room

Is your dining room less than inviting? Susie offers simple solutions in a great dining room that is disorganized and made up of a hodge podge of furniture. Susie unifies the space by brining in transitional furniture from other parts of the home. She brings in furniture from a bedroom; two matching shelves and a dresser that she uses as a buffet. Susie picked up additional furniture from the clearance area at Walker & Co.

She brings in natural fiber chairs, a mirror and great accessories for the table, like natural fiber place mats and chargers. Susie adds a punch of color and defines the eating space with a rug she found on sale at Capel. She gets rid of the mini-blinds and brought in new draperies she found on sale at Antique Drapery and Rod.

She updates the lighting from a silver fixture that is too cold for the space and warms it up with a double light that not only fits the length of the table better, the tones in the glass fixture from Kichler warm up the space. The space is finished out with various accessories from around the home and some additional items she found at a bargain at Pier 1.

Last but not least, playing off of the natural fiber materials in the space, she bring some outdoor plants in to living up the space. The final result is a warm inviting dining room that is more organized and perfect for entertaining

Spring DECK-orating for Entertaining

Outdoor rooms and kitchens are more popular than ever. Many literally look like rooms inside a home with seating areas, rugs, lighting and décor. Susie McAuley, the Real Susie Homemaker reveals ways to transform an ordinary boring deck into a dramatic outdoor living space ideal for family time and entertaining. Susie starts with one of the most inexpensive things you can do to a space, she painted it with Thompson's Water Seal Advanced water-proofer.

Then she moved to the heart of the space, the dining table by Hampton Bay. She adds the matching table and stand she picked up at Home Depot which defines the table as the focal point of the space. From there she brings in items to decorate the table; table settings, florals and some fun serving items to keep the bugs out. There are lots of great products on the market like Elecan by Rubbermaid. The items are not only functional, they’re fun and attractive.

Next Susie turns her attention to the sitting area. She starts from the ground and works her way up. Susie found a great weather proof carpet at FrontGate.com. She added Intermatic’s Malibu low-voltage lighting, great for evening gatherings from She added existing chairs and tables from inside the home. The focal point of the area, are earthy elements; a copper fire pit from Alstos.com and a fountain from Beckett Garden Accents she found at Home Depot.

Last but not least finishing touches included waterproof outdoor art she found at Expo Design Center, metal and glass accessories from candle holders to vases and potted plants she found in and around the home.
