Oooh, I LOOOOVE a good makeover story! Megan commented on a recent post of mine, and of course, I was curious to see who this gal was. After perusing her blog and finding posts of her basement-to-letterpress-studio overhaul, I knew I had to open with Megan’s hard work.

Megan and her husband have been ‘making do’ with their basement for years, and finally decided to glam it up a notch. With limited funds and a DIY attitude, they set their sights on an affordable game plan. Check out these crazy awesome results:

See? LOVELY. So naturally, I wanted more. After perusing her website, I find out she’s also an uber-talented graphic designer with a fabulous Etsy shop full of letterpress fun. My fave design from Megan? These cute Hello cards:

Just adorable. Thanks for the inspiration, Megan, and keep up the good work!
