Ahhhh…moving to a new place. So much excitement for what your new place will become and so much work to get it there!
Everyone has gotten a new apartment at some point in their lives and with that they wondered how do I make this rental great? Key word being rental.
Here’s some pics of my empty canvas, albeit not empty anymore, but this is what I started with. What I love out San Francisco apartments are the high ceilings (everyone I have lived in has had high ceilings), architectural detailing, with lots of other quirky characteristics. Even though it is a rental there is a lot you can do. My favorite -
-switch out light fixtures. Buy an inexpensive (or expensive! you can take it with you when you move out!) fixture from a thrift shop or your favorite retailer. Sometimes your landlord will even have a handyperson who will swap it out for you. This will take it from a rental to a home.
What would you do with your rental?

Oh my Gosh- the light in your new apartment is fantastic. Just found your blog- love your design aesthetic. Can’t wait to see what you do with this space.
Keep me posted on the new place–can’t wait to see what you do, especially since I know where you’re shopping!
