New Curtain Rods and Brightec Floor Lamps
My little-handicapped apartment is coming together nicely. What I love about a handicap versus no handicap apartment is that the halls and spaces in the kitchen and bathrooms are wider giving me room to move about that I wouldn’t otherwise have, if and when the time comes I’m dependant on a wheelchair again. I’ll still be able to live on my own as I have from the beginning of my journey dealing with failed back surgery.
I’m excited that I found some curtain rods finally that would fit the living room area, although they only had 2 at the time of my ordering them. They were the shortest ones I could find and I’m now on a hunt to find more, but smaller for all of the single windows. I don’t like curtains rods that fit across the full length of windows, I like an opening between them. It’s just a preference.
Another thing I want to mention is that my new apartment does not have as many windows as my last apartment had so I’m more dependant on floor & tabletop lamps. I’ll also be adding on screen doors so that will give me more light as well. I usually keep my back door open so Peanut can go in and out when needed but of course, living in the South means pesky gnats and mosquitos love to swarm in so that’s just a temporary solution for now. A doggie door is not an option here.
Here’s a peek of my space so far.

I love what you did in the new apartment! Hunting for a new curtain rod can be very challenging. Glad that you found one that suits the design of your apartment.

Thank you so much. I’m still trying to find some I like for the rest of the apartment.

I love what you’ve done with that space. It can be hard to make an apartment your own between space constraints and landlord rules. You did an awesome job.
Terri
It can be difficult if you get an apartment with picky owners. I’ve lucked out here, I have the best manager I could hope for.

I love those knot pillows! Did you get them from Michael’s? I saw them the other day and almost bought a few myself.

I got mine at Walmart. They were about $5 or somewhere around that price.
