Damage-Free Apartment Decorating

Damage-Free Apartment Decorating

Apartment living has lots of perks. You aren’t committed to a 30 year mortgage. If you don’t like where you are, wait out the lease, or break it if you need to. Leaky faucet? Call the landlord.

My husband and I became first-time homeowners of a slightly dilapidated 1,200 square foot bungalow in 2007.  At the time, I was newly pregnant with our first child. Although this house was a major step up in space from our 700 square foot rental in Boston, we acquired a bathroom that was top to bottom mint green – toilet and all!
