A really neat coat rack/storage center for shoes, umbrellas, etc. Perhaps with a bench to sit down and take your shoes off. The bench could double as storage! Removed 80's Wet Bar - Now What? Good Questions |

Removing the cabinet doors will add a dramatic effect if you are proud of the dishes inside. Buying vintage china will make a pretty display, but you'll have to keep those cabinets nice and tidy if you decide to remove the doors. Ideas to Help Make This Kitchen Amazing? Good Questions |

I'd do some hanging shelves or baskets from the door itself for gloves, hats, + any little extras {maybe things that need to be mailed on the next trip out, or things you don't want to forget in the morning}. Help with Landing Strip in Small Apartment? Good Questions |

Yes! My friends just moved into a new place with a shimmery gold clawfoot tub! I am so jealous since we gave up the amazing tub in our last apartment for a bit more space in this one. Wish I could do it over again! Design Obsession: Clawfoot Tubs in Every Color |

The same thing happened to me the other day! Sad part is (being a broke Etsy artist), I only bought one when I saw them. I went back later for the other, but it was gone -- tragedy! Best Thrift Store Find Ever: A Pair of Typewriters |

I know it's not helpful to hear, but I've always had the best luck just by walking through new cities. I've been checking Craigslist every night for almost six months and have not yet seen that perfect place, but both of the times that I've moved apartments I moved into the first one that I saw while just walking down the street in my desired neighborhood. Maybe you can find a way to spend the day tramping around your new city? How Do You Search for Apartments? |

Definitely DON'T take vintage luggage on a plane unless it's your carry-on. AirCanada (as lovely as they were otherwise) destroyed a family heirloom suitcase last summer when I went for a week long stay in London. It was so bruised and battered being tossed around behind the scenes that it doesn't even stay locked anymore! I was heartbroken. Style Sourcelist: Vintage & Retro Luggage |

YES! We have actually stopped accepting "gifts" from my boyfriend's parents because they always have strings attached. We're ready to start DIYing some of our furniture, but are so nervous about how his parents will react when we tell them (which we have to -- that was our deal after the last fight) that we're going to get rid of or repaint their hand-me-downs.

I use one in the bathroom for feminine products. It's easy to reach, but not obvious for when guests are around. I use another to keep my seam ripper, scissors, extra pins, and other sewing odds + ends on my desk, and stick it sideways in between books to hold it closed.

I'd love to see you take our the counter, and replace it with a window-seat type cushioned bench. Beneath the bench could be bookshelves, and on top put some cute pillows. It will be a great little reading nook! What To Do With Small Cubby Hole Space? Good Questions |

One of the best things that worked for me in my office/bedroom was to lay a large light colored carpet down that covers the "bedroom" section of the room, and the dark hardwood underneath shows in the "office" section. This really helps distinguish the two upon walking into the space. I also arranged all of my office furniture to face the desk and away from the bed.
