Florida apartment

Andy lived in the apartment with nothing but a blow up mattress for 6 months before I moved in with our stuff.

Andy was beyond delighted to roll up the “bed” he slept on for 6 months.

Before I moved in, people felt sorry for him, and gave him lots of freebies. I gave most of his freebies away.

I love color, but the rental thing makes it tricky. Trying to decide what to do with this giant white wall was hmm… interesting (rental trick #1)

I used a secret weapon to hang up tons of pictures of friends and family. (rental trick #2)

Then, I maniaced (is that a verb?) lots of stuff we already had on the walls. (wall tour)

Next, I went room by room making to-do lists to make this palce livable and spunky.

It’s been 7 months since I moved in, and here’s what we’re working with now:

Living room got a make over…

Kitchen got organized, but still needs some help:

*Update: We moved out! Here’s a video tour of the final (pseudo finished) product!

There you have it, 11 months of living in the Fl rental. Now, we’re back in TX with a nomadic living situation, ha! Do you have any rental tricks?
