Did you buy flowers for Mom yet? Remember, Mother’s Day is Sunday May 12th. 

100% recommend Bouqs.com for flowers. They give you a perfect sense of exactly what your arrangement will look like at different sizes, so you get different price options.

Storing things on shelves when you ACTUALLY have things. 

My darlings, my dears! I have been on a littlestapartment mission of my own getting my OWN tiny apartment in order, and my time for blogging went by the wayside. NO LONGER.

First tip upon my return is this wonderful example of open shelving that balances design with ACTUAL storage. Nothing drives me more nuts than these beautiful designs for people who apparently don’t own anything except their furniture. Mix different styles of storage bins to keep that designed look and keep all your stuff in check.

Floor to ceiling gallery wall in progress!

You know how I love a good gallery wall. What I like about this design is the monochromatic theme that ties it all together.

Keeping frames and prints in black, white, brown, and other natural wood tones will tie everything together no matter how different the style of the art is. 

Also try adding a matte to make any piece seem luxurious.

first off, forget grandeur. I don't think it's the quality we want today.

The Littlest Apartment Tip: Acrylic furniture creates an illusion of space while still being totally functional. 

Your small space will appear to be more open with a couple of clear chairs or a clear table - C2B is not messing around with their abundance of acrylic options.

Or check out Overstock.com for some steals on similar designs!

Lots of blogs show you gorgeous rooms with immaculate finishes, but what happens if you are renting your pad? White paint may be your new best friend.

A clean coat of white paint can work wonders for a rental with more basic finishes. Before you move in the landlord probably needs to repaint anyway, ask for a plain white, instead of the go to beige in many rentals and condos. It’ll give you a blank canvas and a fresh backdrop. 

If you’re looking to repaint, just remember to ask your landlord. But since when has anyone objected to a MORE neutral color?
