I love helping people tackle frustrations that we’re faced with when living in temporary situations. Since many of our options as renters are limited, I specialize in finding solutions that leave a minimal footprint, and maximum impact. I tinker with existing items to make them work in the space. I recently got a cabinet for $5 off Craigslist and painted and added new hardware to use it as my “mudroom/drop zone” on the entry way. I also love embellishing boxes from products to become more beautiful storage (partly to reduce costs, partly to reuse/recycle).
