10 Expert Hacks for Decorating a Rental Apartment

Image
This is a sponsored post by Domino It has been about five year since we left apartment life.. and we spent even less than a year in a rental. When we were renting we were so hesitant to decorate.. M was always worried about having to patch up ever nail hole before we left so we never did anything. There was no Pinterest back then :( When renting, decorating seems difficult so here are some decorating hacks courtesy of Domino. Source Maybe you can’t knock down the wall between your kitchen and dining room or pull up the wall-to-wall carpet, but there are many less permanent ways to make a rental apartment feel like home.

Paperless Post

This is a sponsored post - All opinions are my own I don't do dresses very often. I have a few that I whip out on special occasions but nothing really fancy. A few months ago M had an office party and for the first time spouses were invited and there I was with nothing to wear. I dress sort of modestly.. no plunging necklines, no bare legs.. if it's a short dress I'd usually where tights underneath.. nothing backless.. which makes dress shopping hard and I end up usually not buying or wearing. But after the office party I decided to always keep an eye out for something, always have a dress or two hanging in the closet especially for occasions like these.. MillyBridal UK  has a beautiful selection.. I found myself loving so many dresses, I may have gotten a bit carried away.. so humor me please. This black and white dress is so pretty. It simple and classic and the lace detail makes it really stand out.   This pink and white one is similar to the o...
