how would it be to have this kind of view!


i love these quotes, and they do not have to deal with just apartments, but with houses as well...



here is a few good quotes that i totally agree with. from Maxwell's interview with The Washington Post from apartment therapy."...Too many people treat rentals as temporary and say they are waiting for the day they make their home. Start today. But if your landlord doesn't allow you to make many big changes, there's still a lot you can do. . . . Start investing in good furniture that you love and will keep for a long time. These are building blocks. If you can, paint. It's the cheapest way to impact your home. The colors and style you choose are important parts of self-expression and establishing your own home. Keep everything clean, including the windows. Any home or apartment can be totally transformed by a deep cleaning."


What are the most important things to consider when living in a small space?
Clutter. Most clutter is generated the moment you walk through the door with your bag, cellphone, mail, shoes, coats, keys. To handle this, create a landing strip: When you come home, everything gets parked as close to the front door as possible. We take off our shoes outside the door. We have a little closet that we keep clear to hang coats and hang bags. Each of us has a shelf next to the door for our keys and phone. Mail gets sorted immediately, and junk mail gets put in the trash.


Spaces feel smaller when they are dark. Lighting is really important, and most people have homes that are underlit. There should be at least three points of light in every room. Mirrors are also great for reflecting light and allowing your eye to travel through the wall, making your space feel larger.
