10-second tip: Tell a story with your design
As I have said before, good design tells a story and I always encourage people to have something in their home decor and design that reflect what’s important to them. In this bedroom from an Extreme Makeover episode, I made the headboard, lamps and ladder out of branches indigenous to Arizona. It was a way of honoring the land and paying tribute to the family’s Navajo culture. More 10-second tips and Good design tells a story

Totally love the headboard. The whole room is so inviting. Way to go Ty.
I totally agree with Linda. I remember seeing this room in EMHE. I love it.

I too remember this episode very well for many reasons
. Love to see when you “keep it raw”. The headboard reminds me of a game I used to play when I was a kid – don’t know the name in English (Swe: Plocke-pinn) – where you thow out a bunch of wood sticks on the table and compete on how many you can pick up with out moving any of the others in the stack. This looks just like a slighter bigger stack
