A Few More Ideas ...

I am currently in the process of building the final entry/ key cabinet design (which I will unveil soon), but in the meantime here are a few more designs that I was playing with. Any other ideas?

The New Storage/Key Cabinet (soon to be)

So I had an idea for new storage/ key cabinet to install next to my front door. The idea is partly derived from a medicine cabinet. I wanted a fixture that could be used to store all the odds and ends that end up next to the front door but is also aesthetically pleasing. Construction will be very simple and I think that most people can make this out of things that they already have. My next post will contain details for how to build.

Why Apartment Design?

Perusing my local Barns and Noble Home Décor section, I couldn’t help but notice that that there was an apparent lack of design books and tips geared to renters. As a renter myself, I can testify to the fact that designing an apartment has several facets that need to be considered, that are specific to renting.

This blog is dedicated to all those who want to create a unique creative environment while working with the constraints of everything that you can’t change. Designing spaces that are rented means that you have to work with what’s existing, not investing money into stuff that you can’t take with you and making the most with a limited amount of space.

Upcoming posts will teach you what you need to know to make the most of the space that you are renting and how to make it your own!
