10 Ways to Customize a Rental

Love your home! I was thinking the same thing about the wood molding in the home, that it could have darkened the rooms and made things colder feeling, were it not for your lovely use of white fuzzy things and white fabrics in general. I like the floor mirror in the living room.

It looks like a dog eating a horse head on the bed pillow, and normally I wouldn't comment on something like that, except that if that is actually what is going on in that image, I would want to know. I'm sure it's just the folds in the pillow though :) And how could I forget the teepee. Very unique!

I like the red framed painting. Very neat minimalist kind of idea that could be a great DIY project. Otherwise I am sad to see yet another animal hide rug which to me seems like a current trend going the way of style over substance. But I must say that I'm sure I would certainly enjoy working in this well-colored space. Like the blue and red contrasts with the exposed brick.

Thanks everyone for helping me to solve the mystery of why my tub keeps getting gross so quickly lately. I have truly been baffled but of course, a friend gave me a huge luxury bar soap a few months ago... mystery solved. I think I'll stick to the liquid kind. I also dislike dealing with hairs stuck to bar soap. Small pet peeve.

I am surprised that paint was not a suggestion either.... not just wall paint but paint for any purpose. For example I have this huge antique-ish wooden mirror that's not too stunning, but I've been daydreaming about painting its wood a bright color and am sure it will be a "small change, serious impact".

In addition to buying fresh flowers, I find that getting all of my candles together and lighting them in one room on a nice stress-free evening is lovely. Tocca candles are my favorite... they seem to be going the way of the dinosaurs sadly (many of the scents at least). I also like to have my rugs switch rooms, colors allowing, and that makes the space feel fresh too.
