Before I had my bedroom closet updated,

I thought having a “walk-in” closet was the only way my husband and I could share a closet. Turned out, we just needed a more efficient storage solution. Our old closet was a typical “reach in” closet that you would see in older homes. Here’s how it looked after we emptied all contents out.

How to DIY Removeable Wallpaper?

I’ve always wanted to hang wallpaper in my home.

I love the beautiful patterns, plus it makes big impact in small spaces like mine.
As a renter, wallpaper can be tricky though. I avoid making any changes to my apartment that will require a lot of work when I move out. Moving is hard enough without having to repaint before leaving, or worse: losing a deposit!

Patio From Pool
