I have a long hall too! But I am not in a city, just a weird apartment complex. Anyways, I hung photos like this http://thefirstapartment.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-to-hang-set-of-frames.html They turned out great but now I think I want to try some of these knew ideas.

I just use apples to make applesauce and its pretty sweet without anything but some cinnamon and a dash of sugar. here's my recipe, you can even make it in the microwave http://thefirstapartment.blogspot.com/2011/09/homemade-applesauce.html

trashy tv shows as I do crafts. Nothing like real housewives to get over my boredom of doing the same pattern over and over again. Like during this: http://thefirstapartment.blogspot.com/2011/06/how-to-make-your-own-projector.html

I made a similar but more in depth list: http://thefirstapartment.blogspot.com/2011/07/how-to-equip-kitchen-basics.html I think you need a bit more than that unless you just want steak and potatoes every night

I did that with some of my jewelry! It looks amazing, I used ornate frames instead to give it that extra pop, and my friends refer to as my museum of jewelry. http://thefirstapartment.blogspot.com/2011/01/jewelry-frames.html

Lysol wipes. Paper towel's prettier and smarter friend.

This is too funny, I just created an entire list of what you need for your first kitchen at my blog! http://thefirstapartment.blogspot.com/2011/07/how-to-equip-kitchen-basics.html I have yet to really start my own linen closet, but one day I will find someone to keep it that organized for me! Ha!

I like all the looks, it's just very difficult to paint in my apartment complex, they tend to frown upon it. A lot of times, people switch housing every year in college thus some of this stuff is too much to worry about if you move every 9 months. I started my blog as a way to decorate on the cheap while in college, and I think I have come up with some innovative ideas while keeping on a budget!
