    Slowly, but surely you’re going to have everything in place. The cube is a great storage solution. I bought them for my sons to use in college as a tv stand, record holder and even additional storage for their clothing.

    • @KiaraMadisen
      @KiaraMadisen  2 года назад +1

      Exactly...I think we underestimate how much work and time goes into solving all the organizational issues in a new place. Those four cube storage things work great and I'm so happy with how much it holds in my space!

    Hey there organizing and furniture Jenga Master!
    Who would have thought that disassembling 2 different items would fit just right - its crazy that building codes aren't standardizing these measurements.
    Glad its working out.

    I also had an apartment with no ceiling light just like this one. It was such a pain! I used adhesive clips to run a white ikea wire & shade up the corner and over my dining table. Everyone who came over said it was creative and cute, I don’t think the wire hanging down is a big deal as long as you secure it straight. I liked the large round Ikea LED bulbs, it has a lot of light. Behind the couch, a picture shelf with 2 sconces looked pretty good, wires or otherwise. You might want to get rechargeable batteries for puck lights.

    • @KiaraMadisen
      @KiaraMadisen  2 года назад

      Okay thank you for this Bailey. I totally agree...if you hang it right and run the wire down a corner or straight it can look night and clean...hoping it all works out and comes together soon!

  • @mollycaple343
    @mollycaple343 2 года назад +2

    I think I have that same expandable silverware organizer for my drawer. I had the opposite problem where I have that organizer in there and then just little piles for other larger spoons because frankly I gave up and it works now.
    And every apartment search for the rest of your life will include measurements of the drawers and closets because trust nothing. :)

    Loved the lamp shade you ordered and it will look nice. Have you thought of a standing lamp beside the table?

  • @XSemperIdem5
    @XSemperIdem5 2 года назад +2

    Your apartment is like when companies make products slightly smaller and hope no one notices and keeps paying the same or more for it 😅
    I'm trying to remember if I've ever had a living room with light fixtures and I don't think so; I've always had to get lamps. My last place didn't even have light fixtures in the bedrooms so my first night there was quite dark until I got a small lamp from Target that actually gave a lot of light and it was the only light I needed in there.
    Have you thought about sticking those light bars to the back of the piece you will use for your tv? There's a bunch of brands and they're even remote controlled and compatible with Alexa and other assistants. It can help provide some indirect lighting so you're not being blinded by a lamp. You can stick those things under cabinets, even behind your couch. I'm sure some are battery operated too.

    • @KiaraMadisen
      @KiaraMadisen  2 года назад

      omg for real! I love your idea to pull out the light strips...I think the more light the better so when the tv stand comes I should def utilize the opportunity to bring in the brightness...still blows my mind that it's not normal for buildings to have a mail overhead light in every room!
