Homeowner Vynette Villadolid-dela Cruz lost her husband Richard three years ago. Since then, she has been living on her own in a two-storey apartment in a compound shared with her parents-in-law. She wrote to Real Living to improve her space, in the hopes that a home makeover would help her heal after her heartbreaking loss.

In order to help Vynette on her road to recovery, interior designer Michelle Dumlao-Pastoral of HMP Design Solutions, Inc. took on the project. Michelle repainted the blue walls, replaced the bulky furniture, and completely changed the bathroom.
