Promising review: "My kitchen window is on the sidewalk near the community mailboxes. Lots of people walking by. I loathe mini blinds which collect dust and grease.
Especially since the stove is next to the window. Curtains are better, but still collect cooking smells and grease particles. I installed this in about 10 minutes.
It lets in light, but hides me from nosy people." — Gayle Smith Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 11 roll sizes).
2. A set of floating bookshelves if you want your books to work double duty as both relaxing entertainment and decor. Just imagine a color-coded book wall in your home!

I'd highly recommend!" — LaBuenaVidaMere "I bought two of these in 2010 and in the last 10 years I've used them in three different apartments.

This set includes one flat sheet, one fitted sheet, and two standard pillowcases. Promising review: "Great percale sheet set! Aside from the color vibrancy and fun print mixing, I like the crisp and cool percale fabric but what's nice is that it still has a smooth finish. If you like a sheet with a little more structure and is cooler to the touch I would recommend this.

Well, it is Amazon, so I knew I could return it and made the leap. SOOOOOO HAPPY I did! It looks real and the gold adds such whimsy! I sprayed with a water/stain repellent and laid the little beauty in my kitchen. Looks AWESOME! My home is mid-century modern with gorgeous high-end pieces and art.
This lovely gem on my tile floor adds such warmth and joy. When the light comes through the windows and lights up the gold, I cannot help but smile! Amazing and fun! LOVE!!!!!

" — Diane Get it from Amazon for $66 (available in two colors). 10. A cloud-like boucle accent chair wide enough to sit criss cross apple sauce-style, and comfy enough to want to do it for a really, really long time.
New reading chair anyone? I haven't had this chair long, but it quickly became one of my new favorite pieces of furniture. It looks just like the photos and is gorgeous in person. The chair is also incredibly comfortable.
It's sturdy but something you can still sink into. I'm 5'3 and can sit in it comfortably with my legs crossed (it's so great, lemme tell ya), and my partner who's 6'3 says the chair is comfortable for him, too, and that the back isn't too low and is a good height. The super soft boucle material = perfect.
It easily matches the other furniture and decor I have because of the neutral color. On top of aaall of that, it took no more than 5-10 minutes to put together! Get it from Cozey for $295 (available in two frame colors and two fabric colors). 11.

Perfect! No loose strings at all, which is rare in itself when you order textiles. I want to get some more. Just luscious!.
.. They are a different color on the other side which add more interesting contrast.
I definitely recommend these. They can work in a casual or more formal setting. The colors are unique as well.
I suggest getting inserts the same size if you want a soft pillow, and size up the insert if you want a firmer, puffier look." — A. Jerry Get it from Amazon for $32.

First of all it's 100% cotton. There is no way I could sleep under polyester, I would sweat to death. It's so soft and so pretty.
I washed it in cold water and dried it on a medium heat setting and it didn't shrink or fade. All three kitties had to prance around the bed while I got the bed made, they are such great helpers. I highly recommend this and plan on buying a second duvet so I can switch them up.

And this on stairs? Genius! Promising review: "I am IN LOVE. I bought this to use as a backsplash in my rented studio apartment kitchen, which has potential to be pretty but really needs some help. I ordered two rolls thinking that if I liked it in my kitchen, I’d order more to use on the wall behind my bar cart.
I loved it so much when it came in that I decided to go ahead and put it up on the big wall and deal with the kitchen later. The pattern is so easy to line up and it looks so good! My tiny, dark apartment instantly looked bigger and brighter. Even up close I can’t tell where the seams are.
It was super easy to put up by myself, though I would recommend having another person to help if possible because it would have taken a lot less time if I’d had someone to hold it steady while I lined up the edges. If I could give 6 stars I would. It’s expensive but worth every penny!" — Lizzy Get it from Amazon for $29.

Promising review: "After looking at other home stores I decided to go with these from Amazon because they had the best price. These are sturdy, lightweight, and I love that they can be nested/stored together if needed.
We are using them as end tables with blanket storage and they work great! The top is more of a faux/plastic-like wood which is great for drinks etc. but it looks like real wood from a distance so it doesn't bother me that it's not real wood. Easier to wipe and clean.

A tissue box cover that'll really make you feel at home (ha, get it?) while covering up the boring patterns that seems to be on all tissue boxes. Here's why BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly loves these: "I, an adult woman, cannot remember the last time I bought a box of tissues for my home. (Though I have several purse packs?!) It may have been when I most recently had a sinus infection, which I guess was two-plus years ago.
But now that I’m playing house as a grown-ass person in an apartment to myself, I’m trying to be *responsible*. So obviously buying this whimsical tissue box cover we’ve featured in a million BuzzFeed shopping posts is peak adulting. Perhaps the reason I’ve been so bad at keeping around a box of tissues is because tissues just look.
..kind of ugly out in the open.
But not with this lil’ cover! Now it’s a ~design element~ that I’ll hopefully remember to keep full. For now, it’s filled with a square box of tissues I unearthed from my old apartment’s closet while packing; it's presently neatly housed inside the tissue box cover, providing the 'smoke' for the tiny chimney. The only downside to committing to this box is that I'll have to buy square-shaped tissue boxes only now.
But I can live with that. And with my not-snotty nose." Get it from Amazon for $6 .
