Decorating a three-bedroom condo unit can be quite a challenge, but sometimes, all it takes is a new set of eyes to kick-start a revolutionary makeover. The homeowner, whose husband was originally reponsible for choosing the different room colors, says that they initially had some apprehensions about the whole thing, but Real Living soon put their fears to rest by bringing in designer Hannah Acab-Faustino to work her magic.

"I find myself just sitting down in the middle and just looking [at it]... I like it, but more importantly, my husband will like it!" the homeowner enthuses.

See how the transformation turned out below.
