I live in a 500 sf studio apt. Due to window and door placement and natural traffic flow, my furniture placement is fairly limited but I do believe it is in the best place. Everytime I get a new pe...

I love simple, masculine apartments. Definitely one my favorite entries this year.

Since sofas are a big investment for most, I suggest buying a sofa for your needs as opposed to tailoring the scale to fit a temporary apartment. Just try not to go too overstuffed with arms in a t...

Reglaze the tiles and tub. Replace the vanity, toilet, flooring, and update the lighting. I like the horizontal medicine cabinet but can't tell if it's attached to the mirror. If so, update both of...

I like the dark color of the beams. I would paint the ceiling and the walls the same color -- the beams will then stand out beautifully and will contrast with the rest of your decor instead of clas...

I can't get past the lightbulb pendants.

I've had two roomies. The first was a friend of a coworker. She was really nice and we got along fine. But I soon realized that she was a pathological liar -- she told coworkers, friends and FAMILY...

Orange is my favorite color; I have orange everything: clthes, utensils, wallet, outerware, jewelry, etc. But when people come to my house, they are surprised that my decor isn't orange. Orange can...

Country Modern. Right up my alley!

I worked at a retail store that doled out employee numbers. One guy at my store was employee H666. He completely freaked and quit. He was coaxed to come back with a promise of a new employee number...

At home I use color coded folders for better organization. Each category has it's own folder color and then I have separate staggered tabs for each sub-categorized folder. Since I know that Insuran...

When I first viewed units at my apt complex, they didn't have the studio apt I was interested in available for viewing. But when the leasing agent said that the studio had full size w/d hookups...I...
