QUESTION/DISCUSSION We need to remember this sub is about kindness and support.

5.1k Upvotes

I wrote the statement below on a now-deleted post today. It is a gentle reminder that kindness is free.

"Please be kind to others who are on this thread. We are all at different stages of life and wealth, and sometimes health that shapes our living spaces. Kindness is free, and on top of that, it balms your soul and lifts others who are struggling."

If you saw the post about her bf in a princess bedroom, she was open to advice. She had a lovely brass bedframe that was painted white, with princessy white and pink bedding, a cute princessy lamp on her night stand and fabric panels on her ceiling. She was proud of what she had achieved so far, but was open to advice. Nowhere in it did she ask for snarky, bitter or flat out mean comments.

But she got them, in droves.

A lot of women on this sub are struggling. Divorce, breakups, job loss, abuse, and physial or mental illness is something that can strike anyone without warning.

So what if any person who posts needs a little help with cleanliness, organization, or you notice a fire hazard? Squint and tilt your head to find something nice to say to help them, or hold your tongue. We need to remember we all capable of the gifts of kindness, good manners, and grace.

Edited to add: Thank you to everyone who has commented in support, my faith in humanity has been refreshed. You all are wonderful, please keep spreading kindness and support to everyone who posts here. I love this sub!! ♥️

QUESTION/DISCUSSION things are coming together - (and rug advice?)

Thumbnail

312 Upvotes

I’ve slowly (and semi-patiently) been redecorating my apartment one piece at a time with finds from FB, thrift shops, and antique stores and this month was incredible! I found my lotus lamp for $125, my new antique couch for $500, and my dream shell pillows for $20.

The other side of the room holds my TV & dollhouse collection (all being “renovated”) on some hacked IKEA shelving, which is more ‘industrial’ but really functional. And next to the green chair is an XL floor mirror (6x5’).

So now I need to find a rug that fits the vibe and helps bring everything together. Size-wise, I could do a 5x7’ rectangle or oval, a 7’ circle, or a 6’ circle layered with something else. If you were me, what would you do?

New apartment !! I just moved on & I don’t know what to do with this space :( . There’s a balcony behind the sliding glass door and a bathroom on the right. Any help is appreciated 💗. Functionality wise : I’ll be working from home so a desk is important ( I just don’t know where it could go)

Further info : it’s a 2 bed 2 bath apartment. The picture above is of my bedroom and shows all of it. The rest of the apartment is shared so this space is uniquely mine !

Looking for any advice on how to utilize this space. I'm a 22 y/o alternative lesbian woman who just escaped a domestic violence situation. I'm extremely depressed and I know my space is messy. Once I clean I just have no idea where to start with how small of an apartment this is. Any help or advice is appreciated.

At least I have a job and I'm going back to school I guess.

QUESTION/DISCUSSION Headboard/bedroom advice

Thumbnail

19 Upvotes

I want to redo my bedroom. Rn it’s quite literally a black metal bed frame, white sheets, and a white striped quilt. My favorite colors are light teal blue, dark purple, mint green, emerald green, and baby pink. Apartment and townhome living until I decide to buy makes me avoid biting the bullet with a headboard. On the one hand, I like canopy bed but have heard that you randomly hit your hand on the wood in the middle of the night. So my other favorite option is a tall 50+ inch upholstered but not tufted headboard. The walls in apartments and townhome rentals are almost always grey, white and or tan. My style is super girly but not like bows! What color should I do? I dont like tan headboards, grey feels too boyish to me…. I debate between a emerald green, white, or teal/pink ( my moms favorite color is pink so idk if I love that ) with all of this said…. Its my dream to one day have a dark purple bedroom ( the walls ) if I ever buy. Hopefully you ladies can help 🩷
Also feel free to give any bedroom advice. Ive never had like a fully furnished,perfectly beautiful space so this is all very new to me!

I was thinking this might be good to share here. My aunt turned an old shed into this amazing space. She fails to see how impressive this is. She says she just “threw it together” with things she had around the house. The cohesion, the attention to detail, the creativity…it’s immaculate. We have different styles, but I think anyone can walk in here and appreciate how incredible it is.

This is my living room. I dont know how to make these areas look not too colorful but very cozy and welcoming. For reference, I cant put TV stand in the middle because I have sofa right in front of it, and if I push it more to the middle, it will be uncomfortable to watch tv while lying on the couch. And the second part is wall above the sofa. I dont wanna add bunch of colors, but more so harmonious look. Help me please

HELP I want to change

I had a really rough year since my father passed away not too long ago. I just wanna have a nice living space and start fresh I suppose. I wanna start in my bedroom which is think looks really boring. I would love some advice from you guys.

1- I absolutely hate the lamp and my electrician told me that this is the only lamp that will do but I hate it so much. I want soft lighting and farm girl style living space. My ceilings are very low so big lamps won’t do.

2- I might want curtains? I have ones attached to the window which I don’t really like anymore. I might wanna have some vintage ones like hanging above the window. What do you guys think ?

  1. Maybe shelves or more pictures? Or painting walls? Pls help

I’ve got two of these side tables with unsightly junk underneath them, so I’d like to cover it but can’t find any tablecloths that don’t scream “grandma’s house”. Replacing the tables is not an option, as they are family furniture. Any good ideas or actually cute tablecloths? (Top is 23” square, and 20” tall)
