Chic and practical solutions for hiding remotes and colorful eclectic Spring decor with renter friendly DIYs and decorating tips.

Hello! I hope you had a wonderful Easter. It was rainy and chilly here but we had a wonderful service and egg hunt. Now that the Easter decor is put away, I decided to change up the living room side tables and coffee table. My first mission was to find a couple of boxes that the remotes could fit in. Is that a pet peeve for you too?

Chic and Practical Solutions for Hiding Remotes

I arranged the coffee table decor around two wooden boxes that were the perfect size. No more ugly remotes! When looking for the perfect size container for your remotes or game controllers, make sure to check discount stores like TJMax for jewelry boxes or storage containers with great textures like wood or woven material.

The sofa side tables have similar similar colors and textures.
Our curtains in the living room are another rental pet peeve . We have Japanese rods on all of our windows and doors so I wasn’t able to use my American style curtains and rods that I brought half way around the world. Ha! (The movers laughed too!) We needed twelve curtains for our living area so I found inexpensive sheers at a local store. Since the length was little too short, I decided to knot them at the bottom to let in more sunlight and to disguise the awkward length. I like the casualness of this look and think it says that we’re not too serious around here. 😉
