Design on a Dime is a home improvement show that highlights the creative process behind turning old, dull spaces into fresh, lively ones, all without breaking the bank. In season one episode three, titled Modern Spanish Master Bedroom, viewers follow hostess Kristan Cunningham as she helps a couple create a luxurious and serene master bedroom on a budget.

The episode begins with Kristan meeting with the owners, Cindy and Rich, who have moved into a new space that they're excited to redecorate. The couple explains that they want a master bedroom that feels like a relaxing sanctuary and showcases their love of Spanish design. With a budget of only $1,000, Kristan is up for the challenge.

To start, Kristan decides to focus on the centerpiece of the room: the bed. She finds a simple, modern wood bed frame at a thrift shop and decides to paint it a dark chocolate brown to match Cindy and Rich's existing furniture. She dresses up the bed with luxurious white linens and a bold patterned duvet, which adds depth and texture to the space.

Next, Kristan tackles the walls, which were originally painted a dull beige. To give the room a Spanish flair, Kristan decides to add an accent wall behind the bed. She selects a stunning yellow-green color, which adds a pop of color and warmth to the space. To complete the look, Kristan paints the remaining walls a crisp white, which helps to make the space feel larger and brighter.

One of the biggest challenges Kristan faces in this episode is finding affordable art to hang on the walls. She decides to create her own by purchasing a large canvas and a stencil, which she uses to paint a simple, yet elegant, Spanish-inspired design on the canvas. The finished art piece complements the other design elements in the space perfectly.

Kristan also finds a vintage, ornate mirror for only $20 at a thrift shop. She frames it in a sleek black frame and hangs it above the dresser, which instantly adds dimension and glamour to the room.

To finish off the space, Kristan adds a variety of accessories, including candles, vases, and books. She selects items in shades of gold and bronze, which help to tie all the pieces together. She also adds organic elements, such as fresh flowers and plants, which give the space a peaceful and natural vibe.

Finally, Kristan reveals the finished bedroom to Cindy and Rich. The couple is blown away by how beautiful and inviting the space has become. They love the Spanish-inspired accents and the serene atmosphere, and can't believe the transformation that was achieved on such a small budget.

In conclusion, the Design on a Dime season one episode three, Modern Spanish Master Bedroom, showcases how a master bedroom can be transformed into a luxurious and serene sanctuary with small budget-friendly adjustments. Viewers follow Kristan Cunningham's creative process as she blends Spanish-inspired accents and pops of color with tranquil elements to create a relaxing mood. The end result is a fresh remake that reflects the couple's personality and style, without jeopardizing their pockets.
