I love it! So sweet, but not overly so.

Gorgeous! I've been pinning garland like crazy because I'm throwing a bridal shower this summer...these are great inspiration!

Love the look of quartz, although I have never had it in a kitchen personally. I am of the "anything but granite" camp, though, for the pure fact that it's now considered a requirement of every home buyer on HGTV. Get creative people!

Salvation Army sofa, hands down! I found my own vintage sofa at a Salvation Army last year and I'm in love with it! Please do inspect it before you buy it for any bed bugs, but then enjoy!

Great tips. I am in the midst of doing this for an upcoming move (to a place with less closet space!). I donated three large boxes of clothing and I feel so much lighter!

This is so timely for me! I'm about to live alone for the first time after years of roommates. I'm going to miss my roomie, but I'm excited to be completely on my own for the first time ever.

I'm a fan. It somehow anchors the bed and ties things together, plus it's easy to switch out when you want to add some new color or pattern.

Great list. I made all of the curtains in my house using Young House Love's no-sew method. I have no idea how to work a sewing machine but have custom drapes in each room - score!

How neat! I often wonder how the people before or after me decorated places I've lived. Both of the couples are adorable and the place seems to match!

Maintenance and lawn care top my list! I don't have to worry about either, so I'm free to focus my time and money on decorating the interior. I'll buy a house some day, but for now, I'm loving the freedom of renting.

Great ideas! Just because you rent it, doesn't mean you can't make it your own.

I love this! I'm a renter and I hate that renting has gotten the "temporary housing" rap. You can make your home beautiful no matter if you rent or buy - it's all about creating a space that makes you happy. You can make your place your own, even if technically, it's not.

The Union Jack dresser is stunning! I'm a bit obsessed with dressers and their endless rehab possibilities. I recently took a curbside find and turned it into a buffet for my plates, coffee cups and other pretty things: http://everyday-pretty.com/2011/10/20/curbside-beauty/
