    I love reading home/design blogs, but so many seemed to be geared toward home ownership.  I'd really like to find more apartment/rental blogs, could you bees suggest some?

    I currently have The Borrowed Abode

    And if you don't know of any blogs, please feel free to leave inspiration, tips, photos of your decor, etc!

    Or maybe we could start with your favorite design/decor blogs in general?  Wink

    I don't know of any but I'm interested in the responses! I graduate in May and up until now I've always had several roommates so I haven't had a lot of options for decorating. I'm so excited for FI and I to get our own apartment and make it "us"!

    I'm no help, but thanks for sharing that link! I live in an apartment and it's seriously lacking style right now.

    This won't help with decorating, but Catalogue Living is a really funny decorating parody blog :)

    I don't know of any either, but I just wanted to say thanks for the Borrowed Abode link.. I've been looking for something like this for a while now!! Apartment living is the worst for decorating haha.

    I love the following eye-candy blogs:

    Copy Cat Chic (she finds lowerpriced options of high-ticket home stuff)

    A Merry Mishap

    Desire to Inspire

    and, while it's not specifically a decor blog, I like Jordan Ferney's O Happy Day blog--she has a lot of stuff that has to do with decor, living, cooking etc.

    Have you guys checked out Young House Love? It's not apartment decorating per se, but it's about a small house so a lot of it might be applicable. I'm in love with it :). The bloggers are green, simple, and have gorgeous taste. www.younghouselove.com

    I do read Young House Love & Apartment Therapy!  I've been hoping there would be more blogs out there on rental friendly decor.  So many holes in walls, or painting a wall, etc just won't work for us. Undecided

    Thrifty Decor Chic is GREAT!!  It's definitely not aimed at rental decorating, but she also has tons of cute crafty projects for decor that could definitely be done in a rental.  (I rent, too, and find ideas all the time on her blog.)  Also, their deck and backyard redo are what future homeowners' dreams are made of--my heart beats just thinking of it!
