Good Book
This book has great decorating ideas, and good information for a person just renting their first apartment. I would suggest it to that kind of person, or to someone looking for good decorating ideas.
Great gift for first-time renters!
This book goes from the basics (how to find an apartment, the red tape involved with renting) on to "sprucing up" (painting, curtains), "lighting", "furniture & accessories," and "storage." This book has lots of helpful pages; for instance, several pages on choosing paint and painting technique; a page detailing which utensils you really need (which will also help you figure out which ones you *don't* need); another on how to clean different kinds of surfaces and stains. Also included: essential items for an emergency supply kit, apartment-friendly plants; how to fix your toilet.
One particularly useful page is titled: "The only 5 cleaning products you'll ever need." Apparently vinegar, dish soap, ammonia, baking soda, and washing soda are all you need. The book tells you how to mix them in different quantities to make any solution you need!
The book also has over 20 easy to make, inexpensive projects to decorate your apartment, along with lots of great pictures with design ideas.
This would be a great gift for a new college grad or anyone going out on their own for the first time.
love this book
I think this book is everything I was looking for. I'll be getting my first apt. in a few months and this book is filled with great advice, great pictures, and great ideas!
