Celebrity Small Space | Cecily Strong's Apartment Makeover

When SNL star Cecily Strong realized that her rental was not reflecting her personality, she turned to her local West Elm's free Home Stylist Johanna. Together they turned the lackluster studio into a vibrant, personality-packed space.

“Before it felt like a hospital waiting room to me… Now it just feels like way cooler than I am!” – Cecily Strong

Check out a few before and after shots:

Where to begin?! I'm gushing over that shade of turquoise on the walls. (If only I could paint...) I also love how the marquee C pops against the teal. The artwork over the gorgeous sofa is bright and colorful. And I adore the wine storage on the wall.

Blair's Room | Gossip Girl Decor

Manhattan's debutante Blair Waldorf happens to be my favorite Gossip Girl character. Her behavior and feelings vary from snobbish to sensitive, but she always (except for a few rare occasions) looks and acts totally pulled together. Her luxurious bedroom is fit for a queen---and is as pulled together as her preppy fashion ensembles.
