Having lived in a studio apartment I get the concept and think it a great idea. Wish I'd thought of it.

Do it or regret it. Love the one from the Salvation Army but hurry, it may not be there. I've had this happen and I could kick myself because I didn't. Let us know how it turns out please?????

I have an Ethan Allen pencil four poster bed I purchased on Craig's list 3 year's ago. I have intended to make it into a canopy bed but have moved into a small bedroom and have been concerned that putting on a canopy will make the bed overwhelm the room. Seeing these ideas, especially the one with the lights, have given me the idea needed to complete my beautiful bed. Can't wait to put this all together.

We also have the Haier portable washer on casters, connect it to the kitchen sink, and LOVE it. We even wash our jeans in it and usually hang everything to dry in our apartment. I place small tension shower rods in the doors of our apartment and along with three drying racks and everything dries very quickly. Larger loads go to the laundry room but all the small loads are done in the apartment and that saves $$$$$$.

I have have my Donvier Ice Cream Maker for several years and we LOVE it. No need for Ice or salt and it makes great ice cream, sherbets and sorbets. Wouldn't give mine up for anything.

Have lived on the ground all my life. First time on the second floor and we love it. We can leave the windows open and really enjoy all the beautiful sunlight that comes in. We are south facing and love the warmth of the sun on a cool winter day. Only drawback we have found is hauling groceries and laundry up the stairs. First time living on a lake to so we are enjoying all the ducks swimming by to windows also.

Hobby Lobby stores carry a sticky backed chalkboard type of material which we used and we love the look. Great for renters who want to change the look but can easily remove when leaving.

I like it but would worry about cleaning out all the crumbs which always are attracted to my current sofa.

I would like to go from Fall to just a couple of cold days around Christmas then Spring could start January 1st. I HATE Winter and all the cold, gray, ugly days that come with winter.

After 17 moves (including 2 across country) I had to hire a moving company for my last move. I had heard very good things about Two Men and a Truck moving company. I cannot recommend them enough. They arrived on time, packed the truck and unpacked the truck in record time. I am getting older now and my family members are older than I am so asking them to help was out of the question. I saved up for my move and believe me it was worth it to hire them.

I purchased shower tension rods and place them in my doorways to use with hangers to dry my clothes. Works great and it is very easy to remove when not in use.

Purchased a bed tray about a year ago and LOVE IT!!!!! I keep it folded up next to the bed and find I use it about twice a week for various projects. It has a small drawer on the side so I can keep pens and paper for when I need them. It doesn't need to be expense. I bought mine on-line.

At last. Now I have something to do with all those doilies I've collected from my family members over the years and it will drive my family NUTS. They hate them.

Just moved AGAIN (for the 17th time including several times across country) and have always left my apartments, houses in "move in" condition. Some landlords are nasty and some have been nice. Was told at my last move it would be 45 days before I would get my deposit and was surprised to receive it in 10 days. I try to make sure I always read and understand my lease before I consider another move and then call the office/landlord to discuss any questions I have. So far things have worked out well.

Wish I had thought of this idea. Just moved with what feels like a few hundred of these totes and now i have an idea of what to do with some of them that I can't put in a closet.
