The magic eraser is amazing for cleaning grout in my shower tiles. :) Swear by that thing!

I always unpack the kitchen first.
Then I start putting together major furniture (most of my stuff is Ikea so that means putting together the kitchen table, the shelves, the bed).
Then I populate those big items...the rest is little things here and there (i.e. bathroom, etc).

:) That's my attack plan and seems to work well! Can't wait to hear what everyone else does.

I love the bed frame in photo 6 (the black tall frame). Where can I find something like that?

My gf puts them in her windows as decoration and strings lights all around. :)

I use them for decorating as present toppers! And then my nieces and nephews get them to play with and decorate with after they open their presents. They collect them now.

I light a candle as well - Apple Valley is what it's called. Light scent. Everyone always walks in and tells me it smells delicious. :) And the flickering of the flame is a nice ambience as well.

I'm Polish and we also have a no shoe rule. Most of our family knows to bring their own slippers. :) But just in case we do have a spare set or two!

In my apt I've incorporated the same rule - no shoes in my place. I've never had anyone ask me to keep them on. Perhaps it's also a Canadian thing?

I love the USB hubman and give it to my laptop friends. Sometimes you need to plug in quite a few USB devices and some laptops (*ahem* like my Macbook) don't have enough plugs. :)

They run about $20 and are a great little gift. My friends all ask where I got mine. :)

I love all things digital but I have this fascination with planners (paper ones). But I have gone completely digital. :) I just like the prettiness of the pages n things that's all :P

I live in a bachelor so I have one room that is my everything. My desk isn't directly next to the bed but it's close enough. I power it down and use an Umbra floor divider between my bed and the desk at night so I don't see it.

Sometimes I have a hard time sleeping when I see the laptop cos I think of all the things I should be doing when I really should be sleeping lol. This solves the problem nicely...that is until I can get a one bedroom and keep my laptop hooked up to my tv in the living room. :P

I have to try to unpack right away otherwise it'll take me easily a week. Like right now ;)
