A makeover is often called for when certain things no longer suit your preferences or when some pieces badly need an update. In the case of account specialist Lallaine Villaflor, she used to like their yellow walls, but as time went by, this became an issue for her and her daughter. The once vibrant walls have peeled and faded, and had a drowsy effect on the pair as a result. Aside from that, some of the furniture and accessories already needed replacements.
