Rach puts her buddy Evette Rios to the test when she asks her to make over the childhood bedroom of 27-year-old teacher, Carrie. Without having any time to study, Evette finds out what she can from Carrie about how her style is now different from that of her 8-year-old self. "I'm a little rock and roll and a little laid back," says Carrie.

Evette passes the test with flying colors and gives Carrie a room she can truly call her own: "I feel like I'm not even at home anymore," says Carrie. "I feel like it's my own apartment."

Evette has two tips to help you incorporate things from your past without sacrificing your style.

• Use fabric from old clothes to make unique accent pillows.
• Take pictures of an item you like, blow them up, frame them and hang them around the room.
