Cheryl Thompson
Cheryl Thompson spends most of her waking hours planning (and her sleeping hours dreaming up) projects for her Westchester County loft.

Any given weekend will find her revamping IKEA finds and creating high-end looks for less. Prior to joining DIY Life, Cheryl produced content for the AOL.com network and All You magazine.
