DIY Unique Jewelry Displays

Posted on January 10, 2013 by tpham

Is your jewelry jumbled in a pile? Use our ideas to properly display (and show off) your jewelry.

Long necklaces, long earrings, studs, rings, bracelets and bangles…oh my! How do you organize your jewelry? Do you dump it all in a drawer or hang your necklaces around a door handle? Do you often lose one earring in a pair? We have a few suggestions for not only organizing your jewelry but also putting it on display. Below are a few unique do-it-yourself and repurposing projects to properly display (and show off) your beautiful jewelry.

Cheese Grater
Sounds strange, doesn’t it? This one is rather simple, but it’s an easy and unique way to display your earrings. You can make it your own by spray painting the grater with a color that goes well with your décor. First, spray paint the grater with a primer. Once it is completely dry, cover the grater with a color of spray paint that you like. Let that coat dry, and if needed, add an additional coat of spray paint. Use the holes to display your earrings.

Start your apartment search today!

Branch
This one is simple, and you can use supplies you may already have around your apartment. First, head outdoors and search for a small branch. Next, hammer smaller nails into the branch on the same side. To attach to your wall, hammer two larger, stronger nails into the wall, and prop the branch on the nails. Next, hang your necklaces from the nails on the branch.

Rake
To continue the theme of repurposing old items, enter the garden rake. Living in an apartment means not having to worry about raking leaves in the fall. So repurpose that old rake and turn it into a jewelry holder. Take a head of an old rake and clean it off. If you’re feeling spontaneous, prime and spray paint the rake to match your décor. Next, tie jute twine around the top part of the rake for extra earring storage. Mount the rake head with a screw onto the door of your closet or on the wall. Use this to hang your necklaces.

Knobs
Craft stores, antique markets and stores like Anthropologie all have collections of old door knobs, drawer knobs and drawer pulls. Install small knobs on the wall to hang your necklaces and bracelets. Select three or five different knobs that go with your décor to display your jewelry. Drawer pulls are perfect for rings and earrings.

Picture Frames
You have several options to display your jewelry using picture frames. One way to display your earrings is to attach picture wire to the back of a frame. Use an old frame, if possible, and repaint it with acrylic or spray paint. Attach picture hanging wire to the back of the frame with a staple gun. If you don’t have a staple gun, use small thumb tacks. Repeat this step several times until your frame is filled up. Space the rows about 2.25 inches apart. Place this on top of a dresser, chest of drawers or your bathroom counter.

Another option is to attach a peg board to the frame. Prime and spray the picture frame to match your décor. Next, attach a peg board to the inside of the frame with Gorilla glue, and apply some weight. If you want the peg board to be a different color, paint it before attaching it to the frame. Then, attach small accessories to the peg board, such as baskets and hangers. The baskets are useful for rings, bracelets and stud earrings. Use the hangers to display your necklaces.

How to Clean Your Apartment Efficiently and Quickly

Posted on October 10, 2012 by tpham

To quickly clean your apartment, arm yourself with an all-purpose, multi-surface cleaning spray and a sponge.

Sometimes, cleaning your house seems like it takes all day.. However, a few basic tips and tricks can not only save you time but also create a spotless living space. Whether you have unexpected guests coming, a get together just ended or you just need to create a more organized and tidy space, read on for our tips and shortcuts to speed clean your apartment.

Supplies
First, you’ll need cleaning supplies, but just because you’re cleaning different surfaces in various rooms doesn’t mean you need a different cleaning product for each room. Grab an all-purpose, multi-surface cleaning spray, glass cleaner, paper towels, a sponge, a garbage bag, a duster, a vacuum and a Swiffer.

Living Room
If items in this space belong in different rooms, place them in a container. This will save you time from running between rooms to place items. Next, focus on the couch. Brush off the cushions of pet hair, food crumbs and dust. Check behind the cushions for any items, and then replace the cushions and fluff the pillows. Next, dust the coffee table, and then neatly stack the items on the table. Toss old magazines, and neatly arrange up-to-date magazines, as well as books. Finally, run a vacuum through the space. Remember, this is for a quick clean. Save moving the furniture for when you have more time.

Bedroom
Gather all your dirty clothes and place in a hamper. Worry about sorting later when you do the laundry. If you have clean clothes that aren’t put away, go ahead and rehang or refold the items and put the items away. Place all trash, including old magazines, papers, etc. in a trashcan. Sort through your closet later when you have more time. Next, make the bed. The room will just look cleaner with this simple step. Straighten surfaces, including your nightstand, desk and shelves. You don’t have time to sort through everything, but if you have items that don’t seem to belong, place them in a bin to go through later. Similar to the living room, run a vacuum through the space.

Bathroom
Place dirty clothing and used towels in a hamper. Next, place all trash in the trashcan. Then wipe down the counters, sink and tub using the disinfectant cleaning spray. For the toilet, use a toilet brush and cleaner. Scrub the inside of the toilet. Use the cleaning spray for the outside of the toilet. Next, use a glass cleaner to wipe down the mirror. Return items to where they belong. Again, sort through your items at a later date when you have more time. For now, make sure your bathroom is presentable to guests. Then sweep the floor.

Kitchen
First, place items belonging in other rooms in a container to go through later. Next, clear your countertops and cupboards of trash. For dirty dishes, wash by hand or load the dishwasher. If the plates have stuck-on residue, fill the sink with warm, soapy water and allow the plates to soak for a few minutes while completing your other kitchen chores. Once the dishes are taken care of, wipe down your sink, countertops and appliances. Sweep or mop the floor. To finish, take out the trash.

Indulge in the Best Bath Products at Home

Posted on February 14, 2012 by ag-admin

If you need to relax, find soothing solace in high-quality bath products for your home.

Nothing comforts quite like a hot bath after a long day, especially when that day has a winter chill and the bath has bubbles in it. If you can’t make it to the spa as often as you like or just need to indulge between visits, purchase several of the high-end bath products listed below, chosen for their function, scent and multiple positive reviews. The best part is that a little goes a long way, so even though the initial investment may be steep, the long-term effects are easy to see.

Bubble Bath

“Steep yourself” in the spa-worthy Deep Steep’s Grapefruit and Bergamot bubble bath, which does what bubble bath does best – relaxes you with its aromatherapy and leaves your skin silky smooth with organic aloe, rosehips and olive oil. A little goes a long way, so your 17.5-ounce jar will last a long time.

Hand Soap

Savon de Marseille Extra Pur Liquid Soap is regulated to contain a minimum of 72 percent vegetable oil per French law. It comes in a glass bottle, is vegan and lasts a long time, while perfectly cleaning (not stripping) your hands. Fragrances include cherry blossom, fig, grapefruit, lavender, orange blossom, rose, verbena and Mediterranean Sea.

Lotion

Indulge your thirsty winter skin with First Aid Beauty’s Ultra Repair Cream, a whipped, super-emollient cream that won’t leave your skin feeling greasy. Whether you suffer from eczema, dermatitis or just seasonal dry skin, this Ultra Repair Cream immediately absorbs into the skin and protects against free radical damage. Use it on your body and face, as it’s petroleum-free, fragrance-free, allergy-tested and dermatologist recommended.

Shampoo

Bumble and bumble’s Gentle shampoo is a mild, moisture-rich cleanser that adds shine to those with dry, normal or color-treated hair. It’s perfect for those who like a creamy shampoo that lathers up, or one that cleans but doesn’t strip hair of natural oils.

Conditioner

Frederic Fekkai’s Glossing conditioner contains olive oil, which leaves your hair shiny and bouncy all day without weighing it down. Plus, its fresh scent will lighten your mood when you first smell it in the morning.

Shower Gel

Fresh Sugar Lemon Shower Gel gently exfoliates skin with antibacterial brown sugar and restores it with shea butter, and its soft lemon scent is sure to wake you and your skin up in the morning. Look forward to the spring every time you shower with this cleanser.

Shower Oil

L’Occitane’s Cleansing and Soothing Shower Oil with Almond Oil foams so you can cleanse and shave while moisturizing your skin, before you even get out of the shower. Free of parabens, synthetic fragrances, dyes and other chemicals, this shower oil firms and smoothes skin with a light, pleasing scent. It’s perfect for the winter when your skin needs extra moisture.

Soap

It’ll cost you, but before you balk at spending nearly $40 on a bar of Fresh Umbrian Clay Treatment, keep in mind that its Umbrian Clay is solely found in the Italian town of Nocera Umbra, and it serves as a deep cleanser, detoxifier, spot treatment, anti-inflammatory agent, toxin absorber and irritation soother. Mostly, people with acne-prone, combination or oily skin use it as a way to sop up all that extra oil and leave their skin feeling smooth and refreshed.

Bath Salts

Since Dead Sea salts are plentiful, they don’t cost as much as some of the other luxury bath products listed here. At $29 for a 64-ounce container, Masada Bath Salts in Relaxing Lavender or Purifying Eucalyptus is a real bargain. Just a couple of spoonfuls of these salts in your bath water temporarily relieve arthritis, psoriasis, rheumatism, stiff joints, eczema and muscle pain, while leaving your skin silky smooth.

Candle

The Creed Cocktail de Pivoines Candle from Neiman Marcus is delightfully feminine yet thoroughly sophisticated, with top notes of lemon, heart notes of peony, ylang-ylang and jasmine and base notes of musk and sandlewood. The 7-ounce candle burns for about 30 hours and is made by Parisian perfumery company Creed, who today is helmed by a sixth-generation master perfumer.

Decorative Bookshelves for Every Room

Posted on December 20, 2011 by ag-admin

Every room needs books, and creative bookshelves abound for each space in your home.

No matter where you are, you need books to decorate the room and relax you if you indulge in reading them. Books make guests feel instantly at home and entertain the home owner as well. For any room of the house, you’ll find a book storage solution with the decorative bookshelf suggestions for every room, listed below.

Master Bedroom

In your bedroom, consider short bookshelves that can double as inexpensive nightstands, especially if you and your spouse like to read. This Shaker Cottage bookshelf has a wide flat top for holding a lamp and your nightcap of choice, with two generous shelves below.

Guest Bedroom

Whether or not you have a TV in the guest room, keep your guests entertained after they turn in for the night or before the house gets up in the morning by providing them with a bookshelf filled with interesting, classic reads or funny short stories. This Sloane espresso leaning desk and bookshelf has an extra-wide bottom shelf and room for a chair, in case your guest is working from your home.

Living Room

In the room where most are likely to gather and watch television, opt for a bookshelf that doubles as a media console. If money is no option, this gorgeous 19^th-century media suite from Pottery Barn features two towers beside it for stacking books or DVDs. For those on a budget, Target’s Home Carson Adjustable Shelf Horizontal Bookcase won’t even set you back $150 for TV placement, as well as space for DVD players and cable boxes – plus books, of course.

Kitchen

Store kitchen linens in the baskets on the bottom, large pots and heavy cookbooks on the large middle shelf and teapots, canisters, measuring cups and mixing bowls on the top two shelves of the Aurora Collection Baker’s Rack, which features four wicker drawers, three shelves and wood work shelf. Plus, the wood work shelf is perfect for quickly chopping vegetables or stirring batter.

Bathroom

These rooms usually have the least space, so take advantage of over-the-toilet shelves, available at most mass merchant stores, or a storage cart, which could be wheeled into a nearby closet if space was too cramped.

Office

In the office, the room where you’re likely to have the most reading materials, consider a sturdy, detailed wood wall bookcase, such as this Homelegance 6-shelf case, which features 18 cubbies and just begs for attractive old textbooks and uncovered vintage books to be displayed.

Entryway/foyer

Right when you walk through the door, have a spot to stash your keys, gloves, scarves or mail without blocking any of the entrance with this Broadway black wall shelf, where you can store books on top, winter accessories in the bins and hang coats on the hooks.

How to Feel at Home in Your New Apartment Quickly

Posted on December 16, 2011 by ag-admin

What can you do to make your new apartment really feel like home?

So you’ve done it — found a new apartment, signed the lease, and moved in. Problem is, your new apartment doesn’t quite feel like home yet. Fortunately, with a little effort, you can get comfortable and minimize those foreign feelings fast.

Here are some steps you can take to settle into your new apartment so that you feel at home more quickly.

Make the bed.
Odds are that at the end of moving day, you’ll feel exhausted. Get your bed set up with your favorite sheets and your pillow in its proper place. If it makes you more comfortable, add your night table, reading lamp, and any books or photographs. You may also want to make sure the bedroom is free of boxes before you go to bed, so you don’t have the obvious reminder of more unpacking to do as you’re drifting off to sleep or waking up the next day.

Set up your bathroom and kitchen.
After you sleep, you’ll probably want to shower and make yourself a decent breakfast or cup of coffee. If you have a priority box, go ahead and unpack it. If not, concentrate on the bathroom and kitchen until you’ve unpacked enough boxes to do what you need to do to feel like yourself.

Clear pathways.
Having to step over boxes can make moving even more stressful and irritating. If you weren’t able to leave space when you were unloading boxes, concentrate on unpacking so that you can clear paths and begin to move freely from room to room.

Don’t pack away precious items.
Do you have anything that functions as the adult equivalent of a security blanket? This may be photographs of loved ones, your personal bulletin board or a folder full of souvenirs. Whatever it is, don’t put it in a box on the moving truck. Keep it with you so it can be one of the first things you lovingly feature in your new home.

Use familiar, comforting smells.
If you’ve just moved, you may not be quite ready to put pictures or artwork on the walls. A faster way to make yourself comfortable is to introduce a favorite smell into your new apartment, whether it’s coffee, pastries from your favorite bakery, or a candle, fragrance diffuser, or incense blend.

Get ready to have friends over.
One frequent recommendation is to go ahead and decide on the date of your housewarming party before you even move. That way, you won’t be tempted to put it — and the unpacking it requires — off. You’ll feel much more at home after you’ve been able to host a gathering of your favorite people in your new space.

Think about what makes your new apartment special.
Once you’ve gotten over the mental hurdle of accepting that your new apartment is now home, start thinking about what you can do that you might not have taken the time to do at your old place. Could the apartment use some nice curtains? Can you put your TV or home office in a different place? Does the kitchen give you enough room to experiment with cooking? With these activities, you start to claim ownership of your new space.

How to Organize Your Bathroom

Posted on October 18, 2011 by ag-admin

With a few steps, your bathroom can get organized in no time.

Your bathroom is one of the smaller spaces in your apartment, but it also is home to many items. From toiletries to shower supplies to cleaning supplies and medicine, your bathroom holds it all. A bathroom can become disorganized quickly, but with a few steps, you can get your bathroom organized in no time. Here’s how.

Start with your drawers. Take everything out of your drawers. Separate the items you want to keep from the items you want to toss. If some of the items have been collecting dust, it’s time to throw those items away. Use a cosmetic organizer ($25) or small boxes for your cosmetics. Place the organizer or boxes into your drawers.

Next, check your cabinets. Similar to the last step, take everything out from under your bathroom sinks. Throw away anything you do not use. Add storage shelves ($13) to this area of your bathroom to maximize the space. Use this for small items such as soaps, perfume/cologne, shampoos, etc. Add hooks to this to hang brushes, sponges or towels. If you have a hairdryer that seems to get in the way, use an over-the-door cabinet organizer ($20) to organize your styling tools and products. Another idea for this space is to add a lazy Susan under the sink for easy access to your products.

Shower/tub. There are several options to organize your shower. There are shower caddies ($20) that fit over the door of your shower or ones that fit over the shower head. Place items such as shampoo, wash cloths and body wash on the caddy. This will clear up shower space and give off the appearance of organization.

Another option to organize your shower/tub is to use a shower dispenser ($25). This will remove the clutter of your shampoo, conditioner and body wash bottles. It fits flat on the wall and it dispenses your shampoo with a push of a button.

Add extra shelving for more space. Often times, the space over your toilet is wasted space. Adding a shelving unit or shelves on the walls will add much needed additional storage space in your bathroom. If towel space is needed in your bathroom, install a two-tier shelf ($18) with towel bars. It has shelves for extra towels for your guests, and it has a shelf for miscellaneous products such as cotton swabs, cotton balls, lotions, hair brushes, etc. There is also an extra towel rack.

Countertops. Now that you’re done organizing the rest of your bathroom, it’s time to focus on your counters. When possible, keep your counters clear to reduce the potential for clutter. Use this 5-in-1 toothbrush holder ($19) for your toothbrush, toothpaste and hand soap/lotion. If you keep your jewelry on your counter, use a clear organizer tower ($25) to jeep your jewelry organized and in one place.

Miscellaneous. Keep your cotton swabs together with a holder. For your rolls of toilet paper, use a hanging over-the-toilet tank holder ($15). Be sure to keep extra basic toiletries such as soap, shampoo, lotion, toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc. for your guests. Keep these items in a clear, plastic storage bin ($7) for easy access. This can be placed in your cabinet or in a drawer. Use plastic hooks in your bathroom for bath robes, towels, etc.

A simple task to keep your bathroom organized and clean is to clean up and pick up after yourself daily. This will prevent clutter from forming and will be less stressful for you.

Get Your Space Cleaned Up in a Hurry

Posted on September 22, 2011 by ag-admin

When there's no time for a deep clean, follow a few shortcuts to get your apartment presentable in a flash.

Quick! You’ve got a houseguest arriving or a dinner party in an hour. How can you tackle a desperate speed clean in time? Don’t panic! Here are some cleaning tips to get your place looking perfectly presentable — in a hurry.

Declutter
Here’s where you get rid of any piles of stuff littering your living space–the things you’ve wanted to sort properly, but haven’t found the time to get around to. Hey, now your time is really up! An empty bin that you can fill and stow away will come in handy – just make sure you separate any really important items, like bills, in a place where you can locate them later.

Quick dust
You don’t have to wipe down every square-inch of space and each knick-knack in your apartment. The goal is a fast cleaning of any long expanses of table-tops, shelves and other surfaces where dust really shows up. Locations over your guests’ heads and in nooks where they just can’t see may be left for a more leisurely dusting later.

Surgical floor cleaning
Save the under-the-bed and behind-the-sofa vacuuming for another day. This effort is to get the drips of coffee off the kitchen floor and suck up the balls of cat fur on the living room carpet. Be strategic, be surgical and try to get all the spots you feel are reasonably visible. A little bit of dust in the far corners of a room will be forgiven by any but the most fastidious visitor.

Target the bathroom
If you have a guest bathroom, do the best quick cleaning job there, as it will probably get more attention than any other room. Sweep the floor and then do a fast wet mop, using a Swiffer or other disposable pad system. Pour a little bleach into the toilet bowl and scrub the inside with a toilet brush to get it clean in a hurry. Flushable cleaning cloths, such as Method wipes, are a quick and easy way to deal with icky residue. Do a quick scrub of the tub or shower, rinsing away hair, mildew and soap scum, and pull the shower curtain or door shut.

Quick final touches
Well, you may not have time to go out and buy fresh flowers, but there are things you can do for a last-minute finale. A clean tablecloth can instantly add an elegant finish to your dining room. Top it with a bright bowl filled with fruit and you’ll look like you’ve had all day to get ready. Do you have a few candles in a cupboard? Fresh sticks in candle holders or tea candles on pretty saucers can instantly dress up a sideboard.

To add a fresh smell to your kitchen, take a page out of the book of real estate tricks and sprinkle a spoonful of cinnamon on a small square of tin foil. Turn the oven on at low heat and let the aroma do the rest.

You don’t have to spend hours scrubbing to get your space clean enough for casual company. Keep these simple cleaning tips in mind, and you’ll be ready for a crowd at a moment’s notice!

6 Cheap and Easy Ways to Relax at Home

Posted on August 19, 2011 by ag-admin

You don't need a spa to relax; instead, create your own sense of peace at home.

In a space-limited apartment and with an economy-limited paycheck, you can’t afford luxury spa treatments or elaborate parties when you need some time to wind down. That shouldn’t mean you don’t get any pampering after a long day (or week or month), though. So instead of emptying your wallet with a pricey massage or facial, try rejuvenating your spirit with one of these easy and simple rebooting remedies.

Take a nap. Instead of going to the gym or running errands on your afternoon off, lay on your couch or bed, turn on some mindless TV (an America’s Next Top Model or Jersey Shore marathon top our list) and let yourself drift off to dreamland. Whether you sleep for 20 minutes or two hours, you’ll feel refreshed and re-energized.

Read a book. Head out to your local bookseller or library, and find a title that will engage you for hours. Pick up that classic that you’ve been meaning to read since high school. Immerse yourself in a romance. Read a biography of Queen Victoria, Benjamin Franklin or Caesar. With whatever you choose, go somewhere quiet – a coffee shop, a corner of the library or store or your living room – and settle in for a couple hours of uninterrupted quiet time. Get absorbed in the story, and forget about all of life’s distractions for a while.

Love your bathroom. The cliché advice when you need to relax is to take a hot bath, but that’s just the first step. After you finish a relaxing bath or shower, take your time getting dressed. Light some candles, turn on music and lather up with lotion. Then paint your nails, give yourself a pedicure and style your hair a new way, even if the only place you’re getting ready for is bed.

Work out. If you need some happiness-inducing endorphins in your life, the fastest way to get them is to hit the gym. But instead of the same boring bike routine, try a new class or recruit a buddy to tag along to make the workout more enjoyable. Or, take the new album you can’t stop listening to and jam out on the treadmill or elliptical.

Indulge. After (or instead of) working out, allow yourself to enjoy whatever food you typically skip in favor of a healthier alternative. Don’t binge – you’ll feel awful in the morning – but take some time to enjoy what you’re eating without allowing any guilt to set in.

Watch a movie. Rent or buy a film you’ve been aching to see, even if it is cheesier than cheddar. Or re-watch one of your favorites that your spouse hates. Or order pay-per-view of the new release you never made it to the theater to see. Whatever you decide, turn off the lights, make some popcorn and enjoy the show.

Shop. Just because you can’t afford an entertainment system or Wii doesn’t mean you can’t engage your purchasing power. So instead of hitting the mall, take a trip to your local pharmacy or grocery store and buy all of the little items you always look at but never buy. Curious about whether that lip balm actually tastes like Dr. Pepper? Secretly dying to know the details of that celebrity couple split? Excited to use that new as-seen-on-TV product? Buy it! Try the lip balm, revel in the trashy tabloid and test the product, and feel good about it.
