nordli-bed-frame-featured

Building up on our “Apartment of the Day” – an Alcove Studio #14-G at Le Rivage, here is an idea for you on how to furnish it wisely, utilizing some nice modern furniture made by IKEA. No pressurized walls are necessary to get a feeling of a proper Junior 1 Bedroom in this unit, in fact, fitting not just one, but two beds (one in a queen and one in a full size): [more]

Convertibles

Have you ever seen an ad stating in its headline: “Spacious Convertible 2 Bedroom”, and a very attractively priced one I should add, sometimes fitting into “too-good-to-be-true” category? And when you went to see it, it was just an alcove studio, like the one in Le Rivage from my previous post. “Well, it is a studio right now, but you can easily convert it into a two bedroom, by installing a few pressurized walls” you’ve heard from the agent showing it to you. “It could really work, and if converted, it would be a great deal!” – he added.

Alcove Studio at Le Rivage

Some real estate brokers would call it a “junior one bedroom”, others (more aggressively?), convertible 2 – “just separate your spacious living room in half” (providing you are allowed to), but the truth of the matter is that Le Rivage offers good size alcove studios, and apartment #14-G is a good representation. If you can get a bit creative, you can really work this space out. Check it out, and if it works for you, rent it directly from the owner: [more]

What?

Anything from the apartment hunting process – selection, application, and closing; issues concerning moving in and out; best practices, tips and ideas for apartment decoration and interior design, and the overall quality of living in the apartment environment, is of our interest. We are aiming to provide personalized information on those topics, as well as several searchable databases of applicable information that we think might be of interest to our readers. We also want to create a marketplace for goods and services relevant to our subjects, as well as moderated user forums to exchange relevant information, opinions and ideas.

Where?

We start in New York, but wish to expand soon to other metropolitan areas and hubs of the country, where apartment leaving is a vital part of the local economy. And then, at some point, we will spread abroad.

And Why?

Our goal is to become an important voice in the conversation. We are not aiming to becoming “the one and only”, but we want to be well known for our qualities – unbiased information, honest opinions, and helpful ideas. We hope to engage our audience in a dialogue of value to them. We want to become a valuable guide, resource, and marketplace for apartment dwellers.

We are in BETA, and more fun is coming soon, so Subscribe Now, and keep in touch!
