Navy walls and floors (farrow and ball has an amazing navy.) Pops of yellow or coral. Enjoy!

If you have a high heat hairdryer (like a T3 or FHI), you can use that to soften the paint enough to get the hinges and screws off. A heat gun will strip the paint off your doors, too...don't do it. #learnfrommymistakes

Dear Toastercat, kindly consider asking your landlord for permission to make changes or improvements.

Your security deposit isn't there for you to spend as you please. It is there as in insurance policy should you leave the unit damaged or should you just decide to move out and disappear.

Perhaps your place was beige because your landlord thought it would be easier to rent that way. (It is.) But most landlords are quite interested in having happy renters. The happier you are, the longer you stay.

Asking is more than just polite - and more than just required by the lease you hopefully signed. It lets the landlord know you want to make the house a home. I bet they would be happy to help you do that in a way that preserves the value of their investment property.

Another vote for a much larger rug. The sofa's front legs should be on it. Then you can bring the cream chair in closer so it's a conversation area.

Just tweaks. I hope you are enjoying your new space!

I love it! The light fixtures are beautiful. The whole design is both modern and timeless. Enjoy!

I love her work. We framed pages from What Pete Ate from A to Z framed in our home. I wish she sold prints of her illustrations.

Your home is lovely.

These are not my taste.

Dear AT,
I love the Daily Scavenger. But you only need to do this one post...not 5 posts. Thanks!

This is the perfect shade of peacock blue! Would love the name of the paint color!
