      Yes, please! I want to thank you, for your videos. I love seeing things that people can do in rentals and in their own homes that are not permanent. Especially for someone like myself, that loves to change things up a lot. I will be looking forward to seeing more.

    I rent from a corporation in The Netherlands. Taking into account that every aparment I rented had no floors, no ceiling lights (only wires sticking out), no kitchen appliances, walls with layers of wallpaper riddled with holes and so the freedom of choosing the flooring I want, paint the walls in whatever colors I choose... if and when I move I take my own stove, fridge and washing machine, negotiate with the next tenant if they want to buy the floor from me....
    I just feel like landlords are much stricter than corporations. I can basically do anything I want. And when I moved into my most recent apartment I got a brand new kitchen counter for free (and I got to choose from like 25 samples) because the old counter was almost falling apart.
    Living and renting in this country is very different, but it's so cool to see what you do with your space!

      @@R.Oates7902 Nope. In two occasions it was just bare concrete. The previous tenants took the floor with them. I installed my own floor and six years later sold it to the next tenant, so it really depends on the person whether you have flooring or not.

    For your faux Roman shade, if you don’t like to sew, you can always use stitch witchery tape, available in any craft or sewing store, or even Walmart. This is how I hem everything! You still have to measure and fold over whatever edges you want to finish. The stitch witchery tape gets placed under the folded edge and then you press with a hot iron! Couldn’t be easier. And then you also don’t have any visible stitches.

You do such a nice job … would love to take a few more moments to show the final result (or a longer before and after final result).

I'd love to do some kind of stenciling on the walls to add some artistic flair...after watching this video, I think I will finally be able to some of that so it wont destroy the walls & then can be easily removed when I can move!

Mine also says nothing more than nail holes in the wall, but honestly, as long as you take the care and effort to remove all the changes and fill the holes with spackle, it is fine. I'm certain that clause is only in there because some people would just move out, leaving all the damage behind.

    7 ish years ago removable bead board was put up, granted not with command hooks but something similar. The adhesive had been on so long it kidna welded to the wall and damaged it when it came off.
    Spackle fixed it right up and it wasn’t major but it was annoying. I don’t think the adhesive used in products like command hooks and wallpapers are intend to stay up for years at a time, but they do keep the damages down when renovating.

    For the outlet and lightswitch plate covers, inexpensive to a bit more expensive foam insulation for these can be used for a bit of insulation. Plastic childproof outlet covers can be used. The outiet covers have the oval foam punch outs, which slits can be made and placed over the plastic caps. Great for adding a bit extra insulation. Especially for some outside walls in which when the outlet, light switchplate covers are removed, drafts of air are too cold in the winters. Not a whole house insulation solution, but on the inexpensive, easy to do list of inside insulation projects.

    I really liked the blinds idea. After several years at my apartment, mine has started to droop and fall apart just from the gravity. Always had them down. I think your hack would have saved them from getting droopy because I would have had them up and plus it looks so nice with the roman shades.

    I love the wall covering. We have an apartment my mom rents this us perfect for covering imperfections.

    Thanks. With respect, you can also place shears in front of or in the middle of your curtains. ***There’s also fabric adhesive so you don’t have to sew. Cheers🙂.

    All look amazing, my only concern or question Is basket you just put on the lamp causes fire or heat.. The lamps/lights are usually hot and that basket looks like touching (2nd ceil light). Is that safe??

    do you have a video showing what happens when you take the contact paper off? I'd love to confirm the contact and the paint don't damage the wall.

      It didn't damage the wall at all! No sticky residue or anything left. I did make a video removing it. You can see the removal here: ua-cam.com/video/Lwh7P-JolcU/v-deo.html

    Nice ideas, my problem is my apartment is from the late 40s early 50s. My walls cept for the bathroom are solid cement so it makes drilling to add curtains hooks really difficult. Command strips help but not always

    All the command stuff fell off my wall. Absolutely won’t be using command. I’ll putty and paint if i need to but not breaking stuff to not put a small hole in the wall

      Command hangers are useless and they still pull off chunks of paint.

      If you need to cover a pin hole/small nail. Toothpaste works wonders. Fills the hole and you need to look hard to find it.

    OMG! I love every one of these hacks, but especially the one where you use the basket to cover the hideous light fixture (I believe most of renters have those and can relate).

    Could you line the caned ceiling cylinder w/baking parchment paper to hide the origional fixture?

    • @magpie92766
      @magpie92766 10 місяців тому

      Of course you could. Or you could use spray adhesive to line it with a pc of sheer material. You can find cheap ones at dollar stores or thrift stores. If you use LED bulbs so it doesn't throw off heat, you could use adhesive frosted privacy film. It might stay up using a regular bulb, but after spending time on the project, better safe than ruining the privacy film.
