• Setting the (small) Stage

    Hi Everyone!  Happy Thursday!  Can you believe that we are past Labor Day?!  Its insane, I swear.  The summer literally flew by.  With that being said, however, I LOVE the fall and while its still warm outside, I do take the liberty to switch up my décor to suit the season.  If you missed my posts about how I updated my décor for spring and fall, you can find them here and here.
     

    In addition to switching up my décor, I realized that now that I live in a much smaller space, its important to “stage” the rooms in the apartment so that we still have a sense of a dining space, living room space and so on.  In order to make a small, multifunctional room feel like it has separate and distinct spaces, I decided to rearrange the furniture and create a “divide” so to speak, so that the living room feels like one space and the dining feels like another space.  Also, by adding an area rug under the dining room table, I think it helped do just that.  Actually, I think things like area rugs, bookcases, sofa tables and plants are some ways to mark off where one space ends and another begins.

    Check out my pics below and let me know what you think!  As always, feel free to drop a line and please click the follow button so that you can stay up to date with my latest DIYs and organizing tips.  Thanks for reading!

    I added this cute rug I found at TJMaxx for $15 to our “dining room” space.  Also, I hung this (well my bf hung) this large picture frame from our Puerto Rico trip over the table to add to the separate space idea, plus our “watchman” statue stands guard.
    Yes, $15 for this rug!  SOLD!
    The little end table is the end of the “living room” and the rug is the beginning of the “dining room”.  The chair cushions are from Pier 1 and the placemats are from Target.
    The living room space has two end tables on either side of the sofa to make it distinct from our dining room space.
    Just wanted to share this little plant stand that I found for $24.99 at Homegoods. Its perfect for displaying our plants and seashells we found at the shore this summer!
    I added curtain holdbacks that I found in Target a couple of years ago.  This helps keep them out of the way when we want to let in light and Mr. Big wants to sleep in the window.

      Hi! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Thanks

      I think that a property foreclosures can have a important effect on the applicant’s life. Mortgage foreclosures can have a 7 to few years negative influence on a applicant’s credit report. A borrower having applied for a mortgage or virtually any loans as an example, knows that a worse credit rating is usually, the more complicated it is to secure a decent mortgage. In addition, it might affect a new borrower’s ability to find a respectable place to lease or hire, if that will become the alternative real estate solution. Thanks for your blog post.

      With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My website has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any techniques to help protect against content from being ripped off? I’d certainly appreciate it.

      Many thanks for this article. I’d personally also like to say that it can always be hard when you are in school and starting out to establish a long credit ranking. There are many students who are just simply trying to pull through and have a long or positive credit history can occasionally be a difficult point to have.
