making a small space more customized (renter friendly version)
The most perfect shade of pink and great quality. I felt the most nervous investing in a rug but this brand was a more middle/quality end price point that offers many first time discounts (and fab colors)
Wool Hand Loomed Rug, Ridge (color, Jam)
I wanted more light and to keep windows open without loosing privacy- so we used these contact sheets as a renter friendly window treatment on one of our main “statement” windows
rabbitgoo Privacy Window Film Frosted 23.6x118.1in
Bedroom
Colorful bedding, lighting, etc.
Fabulous lighting (i recall needing to get candelabre bulbs separately - which we opted for a warm incandescent bulb)
SIMRISHAMN floor lamp, chrome plated/opal glass - IKEA
Perfect tone of soft purple, lightweight, and easily washable!!!
Lavender 100% French Flax Linen Duvet Cover
Love to pair a deeper richer color as a fitted sheet under a pastel duvet so the room feels light but also dimensional in details.
Fitted Sheet - Mulberry
Matching pillow cases, very soft and i have wavy texture hair (i feel like these do not frizz my hair too bad if im too lazy to use a silk cover or wrap my hair)
Pillowcase Pair - Mulberry
Alternate lavender duvet cover option since the other link is on pre-order (i have sheets from this brand, but not a duvet cover yet; but i feel very confident in their designs and quality!)
Duvet Cover - Lavender
My bestie and i bought matching ones - a really adorable way to hang accessories, purses, coats, etc. Firm believer of displaying some of your closet intentionally
Coat Rack, Hall Tree, Free Standing, 8 Hooks, Entryway, 74"H, , Black Metal, Transitional | Wayfair
This is an ***updated model*** of the projector i have. I would suggest this brand but my older model requires direct hdmi connection and this version is wireless. (If u do opt for the hdmi connection, we use our roku stick and remote for most stream...
Leisure 470 Pro Native 1080P Wireless Single LCD Mini Projector
A motorized screen for the projector is amazeeeee for movie night. Limits the set up of projector use so we can watch from bed and call it a night (best update by a landslide)
92in Motorized Projector Screen w/ Remote
Bathroom
Improvements to everyday ritual (both functional and aesthetic)
Reset that nervous system girl
EZVALO Spa Shower Lamp, IP65 Waterproof, Rechargeable, 3 Color Temps
Less decor, more update. Great water pressure and the silver looks great in an old apartment (just enough of a modern renter friendly update that doesnt compete with old architecture or plumbing)
HammerHead Low Flow Handheld Shower Head Chrome
Affordable shower filter (i feel like my hair thanked me for this one)
Aquabliss High Output Shower Filter - Chrome
Kitchen
This is definitely a splurge item- but i love a classic pot of coffee and since itd be on display in my kitchen i wanted an appliance that felt part of the space design.
SMEG Drip Coffee Maker, 10-cup
