As someone that has a tiny bedroom, I recommend a higher/elevated bed so you can put boxes underneath your bed as well as to have more space for your stuff

@MiMi-qb6tk Жыл бұрын

agreeee! my bed is on 2x2 and 2x4 ikea kallax units and the storage is insane.. because i also really need it. my bedroom is only 2meters by 3,5 meters. i need all the space i can get haha

@panofdreams Жыл бұрын

Definitely helps! My dad built me a bed frame that I could easily slide rubbermaid tubs under and it gave me so much more storage space!! Which is very needed as a fabric and craft supply horder!!

@wightwitch Жыл бұрын

I brought an ottoman bed for this reason! Love it

@TomK32 Жыл бұрын

Same here, I was lucky enough to have simple square posts in the bed frame with the head ones longer so I just swapped them to the foot end and got new longer square wood that I cut and drilled for the head end. Worked perfect and there's so much space under my bed for boxes of fabrics, board games and monsters :D

Did you think about putting your yellow couch on the long wall where you put the artwork? I think it would open up the room and maybe you can put a long bench where your windows are in this area so you can display some decor. 🎈

@charliemac7557 Жыл бұрын

I thought the same about the placement of the couch, hope she gives it a try & the long bench for decor is a great idea!🌻

Jenna, I think it is so cool that you make your home comfortable and personalized, even though you know you won't be there forever. When I lived in apartments and knew I'd eventually be moving out I never wanted to decorate or put time in to making it comfortable. I'm really excited for you and I wish you all the best in this new chapter of your life ❤

I love watching you decorate and style whether it's spaces or clothes. We have such different styles but I adore your taste!! There are so many combinations I would have never thought of and you somehow always manage to make everything work out and come together wonderfully. I do want to say though: please please please wash the sheets/duvet covers/pillowcases after you purchase them from the store! They are not as clean as they look and are often sprayed with substances to make them look neat, but it's best to wash them off for safety.

I have the same Ikea table and it's also my sewing table! We added swivel casters on the bottom so it can easily slide out into the room when I need it! I highly recommend adding the casters -- it makes an already functional table SO much more convenient.

I honestly can’t believe you didn’t just crochet a plant hanger in lieu of not being able to macrame something! So many cute options! Everything is coming along so good. Can’t wait to see the end result. I wish I had my own place to decorate.

The new chairs look great. Glad to see the lounge back, I've always secretly drooled over it and the lounge chair. The blanket is so pretty. The yellow sheets with it make it. When you get a chance to replace the bed I'd recommend a higher bed so you can store stuff under it. Maybe one that built in drawers or the kind were you can lift up the mattress?

The trick to zippers on pillowcases is to sew them in first: make the zipper side the first place the two squares connect - you’re just sewing each flat piece right side up to one side of the zipper in turn. Then flip the right sides of the squares to face together and sew the other three sides shut. (Just leave a few inches of the zipper open beforehand so you can open it up and turn the pillowcase cover inside out at the end). It’s a good idea to have a zipper versus sewn shut in case you need to quickly and easily wash just the cover.

If you are looking for ideas for the bed until you find a bed frame that you like, you could always hang a quilt over the headboard to go with your “granny chic” vibes. Also, Home Sense is pretty much just Home Goods in the US, if you are ever looking for a comparison again.

If you could find some kitchen cabinets on marketplace you could use those as a base for a lofted bed. They are pretty sturdy! And when people do a reno you could take the outdated style and paint them retro or something
