"People will benefit from this because I can make them a space they love to come home to, without making them spend a fortune. And it can be done all in a day's work."

O'Leary, 45, recently started her business, House to Home Redesign. She redecorates and redesigns for people who are selling their homes and also organizes for people who are moving into homes.

She completed a course with Redesign America in Davie, a school that teaches its students the ins and outs of interior decorating.

"I was so excited when I took the course because I saw first-hand how happy people are when they walk into their transformed homes," she said. "I have always had a great interest in it and my family really urged me to live my dream."

O'Leary and her husband, Jeff Nurge, have a 10-year-old son, Matthew Nurge. They moved from Hollywood five years ago when O'Leary gave her own home a makeover.

"I have so much fun doing this," she said. "It's great that I can make a living doing what I love and thrill the people I am helping."

A consultation with O'Leary costs $100. This allows her to come into the home and see the space and furnishings she will be working with. She also discusses the lifestyles of the people who live there, and the function of the home. A full day of service is $850 and a half day is $450. O'Leary tackles any or all rooms in a house.

"The great things about this is people don't have to run out and buy all new furniture," she said. "That can get very costly and it can be inconvenient for the homeowner. I simply work with what the family has and I am sensitive to what is in their home because it is theirs.

"When the day is over, a family will leave their house and come back to a home. That's what my business is all about."
