Make Sure You're Seen in the Space

Don’t be afraid to pull an Emily and print a life-size cutout of your favorite Instagram selfie and display it on your wall. Don’t think you can pull it off? Instead, create a collage of your favorite pictures of you, your friends and family. Consider buying a polaroid camera and taking a picture of everyone who walks into your apartment. Use tacks and place on a wall, now you have your own art installation - created by and for you.

Treat Yo’ Self

(to Some Fresh Flowers)

Liven up the space with some flowers - it’s another opportunity to bring color into the space - look for yellow sunflowers (Emily’s favorite), white roses, or even green plants that can be around longer than a week or so. Hit up your local flower district for the freshest flowers, greatest varieties, and lowest prices.
