Have you ever fantasized about renovating your home?

Chelsea Petaja of Oh My Deer Handmades was done daydreaming. It was either time for her to either seriously revamp her house, or else she needed to find a bigger place to live.

One problem: the space needed a full floor-to-ceiling overhaul.

We absolutely love how the bedroom turned out with 2 awesome prints by Chelseas photographer husband Tec Petaja hanging over a Mid-Century Bed, our Penelope Nightstands, and Overarching Wall Sconces.

So how did she do it? Read on!

Chelsea shares the 4 essential house renovation tips that she learned from her attic overhaul, and its good advice for anyone whos ever thought about revamping their home.
