I love this site and I haven' t lived in an apartment for years, I have a 2800 sqft house nor do I live in any of the cities that are featured (Arkansas!). The advice and ideas that this site promotes can serve anyone anywhere, so lets stick to what this site does well, design inspiration and not split hairs. This post is appropriate because it is Outdoor Month not because it has anything to do with apartment vs. rowhouse vs. condo vs. any other small abode.

I would suggest some sort of ground cover that doesn't mind being stepped on, like maybe mondo grass, it is slow to spread and likes shade and tolerates dry conditions. Ferns, hostas, hydrangeas, azaelias, coral bells, ornamental grasses also like the shade. Apartment Therapy ohdeedoh | Good Questions: Tips for Kids' Garden Without "Full Sun" |

You don't need a wipe warmer, a moses basket, a bottle sterilizer, newborn size clothes (they grow out of them so fast), baby shoes, a bunting (unless you live somewhere extremely cold) or a pack n play. At least these were the things that I was given that I didn't use enough to warrant the cost. Apartment Therapy ohdeedoh | Good Questions: Extraneous Baby Gear? |

The Silver Palate was my first "adult" cookbook purchase in the mid 90s. It was still pretty ground breaking for Arkansas then, even though it was almost 10 years old! Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Has a Cookbook Ever Changed Your Life ... Or At Least Your Cooking? |

Burlap is not a lot of fun to sew, not to mention it kind of smells funny, which is why a lot of people don't use it, but with that being said, I have had a burlap shower curtain and cork board covered with it in the past and I currently have a big round table cloth of burlap in my "formal" living room. It has such great texture. Apartment Therapy San Francisco | Etsy Finds: A Bit of Burlap |

I agree with not painting, brick is so easy to maintain and there are some types of brick that will not hold paint and it just flakes off. Get bigger shutters, those look kind of whimpy for the size of the window. Also dump the storm door and update the color of the door. Try making the entry way larger with somesort of larger landing and wooden rails. And if that is nandina on either side of the door, RIP IT UP IMMDEIATELY and replace with some azaleas in a nice raised flower bed edged in brick or stone. Larger lights flanking the door would also add some more interest. Also a nice winding path to the door edged with plants would also help.

I second the comments about the drapes being way too short, they should puddle slightly on the floor. Also, is the bed on the floor? It looks really low for such tall ceilings. Hanging something on the walls would also help a lot. A mirror above the chest of drawers would help reflect the light from the windows and keep the room bright. I'd also try to incorporate the gray with some coordinating throw pillows on the bed or by addidng some trim to the existing ones.
