I need desperate help with my livingroom. I’m pretty much broke, but I cannot stand to look at my livingroom anymore. I have a very small apartment. Right now I have a swivel rocker (awful brown color) a roll top desk, a dresser and a huge book case overflowing with books. That’s it for furniture. I have dark blue carpets and wht/gry walls. One window. My living room and TINY kitchen are only seperated by a half counter. I rent so I cannot paint or do anything too perm. I’d kind of like to not have to buy any furniture, so I was thinking about finding some creative seating ideas. Plus, I just need some really creative ideas to decorate and make it home-like without having to spend much money at all. I mean reeeeeeeeeally really cheap here, people:)
Getting ready to close on our first home.
It’s not huge, a nice starter home.
Has an eat-in kitchen. I really like the bar height tables and chairs and we’ve found a table we like that comes with two chairs and both rounded ends of the table fold down for space.
Q1. Would a bar height or standard height make the kitchen look bigger?
One of the first things on our to-do list is get the bathroom remodeled. A local contractor did my parent’s bathroom a few years ago and it looked great. We ordered a custom sized extra long and wide shower base and then had the walls tiled in 6inch tiles (pretty sure it’s 6″). The walls were painted Cocoa Mocha (a neutral creamy tan color). But the plans for this new home are to do it in muted blue colors-possibly.
Q2. What tile size looks best in a smaller bathroom? Should i look for more 6in tiles or go for the really small ones?
Any other paint/decor tips you’d like to share that worked well for you–i’d appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
Is there a color recommendation for a half-bath, located on the first of 3 floors (not a basement), dead-center of home, no windows?
The over-all home faces NORTH, the door to the half-bath faces WEST and INTO MY KITCHEN.
I cannot say enough, how much I hate this set-up, but it is what it is. I simply cannot remodel.
This is really just a water-closet with a toilet and pedestal sink. Not very big at all.
Thanks.
I have been looking for this items in stores such as Home Goods, Pier 1 Imports, and Cost Plus with no success. These wooden wall decor panels I originally bought them at Pier 1 Imports however, I have asked the sales people and they tell me they don’t carry it on don’t have. Occasionally Home Goods have some pieces but is usually one or they don’t match. These pieces are imported from India, Indonesia and their price range is from $30 to $100 depending on the store,size, and designs. If you have any info on where can I find this item right now, send it my way.
I am a single mother in a very small town who rents a tiny 300 square foot cabin from my grandparents. My daughter and I plan to live here for the next 4 years so we can save up for our own home. However, because of the size of this tiny house, there is not much room for anything. Please help with decor ideas, and possibly storage ideas as well! We are on a very tight budget. Thank you!
