Small Room Makeover - Oprah Show

Working part time this summer gave me the opportunity to watch Oprah show. I came across one show where Oprad introduced this fabulous and handsome interior designer Nate Berkus. I must say that he is very talented in finding the right furniture for the selected space that was given to him. Check out some of his choices of pick for your small space, if you are a college student living in a small dorm or just living in a small apartment.

One of Oprah's pet peeves is walking into a house and seeing televisions everywhere. The company Hidden Television came up with the ideal solution. Now, you can hide your plasma behind a beautiful mirror. Simply mount the mirror in front of the TV, either in a frame or directly into the wall. Then, with the click of a button, the mirrored surface will fade away to reveal the television screen behind it.
