SMALL BATHROOM SOLUTIONS, So you're renting, and the bathrooms aren't quite the same size as what you use to have? Lack of storage space? Lack of wall space? Just lack of space - period? Here's a few small changes I made to one of our now small bathrooms. In our FL townhome before, we had 2 and a 1/2 bathrooms, offering both space + storage. Now we've gone to two, probably equally the size of our master bathroom before. A small space transformation like this can be done in a day. It's simple enough for a rental, or even a home staging if you need to sell. If you're looking for a simple weekend project for your home, this would be a great project to do, plus maybe add stencil or stripes to the walls for extra wow.

GUEST ROOM READY, After Hurricane Sandy in 2012, I made a major purge of closets and storage areas around here I made donations to local thrift establishments and sent donations to New Jersey Sandy Survivors. With the spaces being cleared, it made it easier to get the house holiday & guest ready. Using items I already had plus some pieces I had collected from thrift, I was able to convert the last room in our rental home into a guest space for under $450. Mixing in wood pieces and collected baskets added texture plus helped warm the otherwise grey + black + white space. I created another gallery wall with photos I captured in Florida & framed - a nice little escape for us here in AZ. Because most pieces were already on hand - minus the sleep sofa - I was able to get this space done in a day. What helped a lot was the existing neutral foundation of gray walls and the beige carpet.

INDOOR GARDEN ROOM, It's no secret - Arizona is HOT. And I don't mean South Beach HOT. I mean dry desert heat hot. Some east coasters coming from the tropics may miss some of the outdoor living of days gone by. I know for sure we do - including our cat Sephora. We would spend mornings with coffee, afternoons reading or gardening, and evenings grilling and relaxing outside on our patio - which when we left Florida, was nothing like when we first moved in. It took time to live in the space, figure out what we wanted and how we wanted it, and of course, a budget to consider. Even though we're renting, those same considerations applied when I created our indoor garden room.

BACKYARD SPRING SPRUCE UP!, Renting a house vs. owning can have its ups & downs. The upside: if something like an appliance breaks down, you can call the owner to have it repaired. The downside is though, you see opportunities for layout flow and finishes that you can't change. What do you do? You make do and make it work. Living here in Arizona the past year took some adjusting, especially when it came to our living outdoor style. In Florida, our townhome had sliding glass doors that opened up to a paver patio I designed and was FULL of greenery and privacy. Here in Arizona, the place we're renting lacks color and greenery [except for the AstroTurf which I am so grateful for vs DIRT!], but with a little thrifty TLC and savvy styling, I've been able to rescue & recreate our outdoor space for us to use before the summer heat & dust storms arrive. Here is what I did - Read details at my blog: http://nyclq-focalpoint.blogspot.com/2013/04/rental-restyle-budget-friendly-backyard.html, Patios & Decks Design

TOWNHOME TOUR, After sharing so many individual spaces here on Rate My Space throughout the years, here is a "Home Tour" of our Florida Townhome when we sold to move / relocate to Arizona. The house was listed on the first week of October 2011 - It had about 5 veiwings, plus three offers that same week. By the end of October, the townhome had sold, and I packed us up for our journey to Arizona [hubs job relocation]. Unfortunately, it was a short-sale... but at least it wasn't on the market long at all [esp. during the peak of the weak market]. I truly believe not just clearing the clutter & depersonalizing [removing personal photos] but Life- Styling the house [during Fall] to the 'Miami Market' , along clean curb appeal, organized closets and creating a comfortable outdoor living space helped tremendously. The Realtor was from Better Homes and Gardens Realty: He hired a local professional photographer for the wide angle shots. enJOY!, Living Rooms Design
