One of the living rooms at 225 Weybosset, with a large rug that goes almost all the way to the walls of the living space. When decorating small spaces , Andrew Bowen concentrates not just on whether the couch will fit, but on scale—the proportion between said couch and the room it occupies, the table beside it, the rug, everything. Are the parts in harmony or conflict? Too small for the room and the furnishings will look, well, small (our full-size sofa will never fit where that love seat is!); too large and they’ll look crammed into the space (this room won’t even hold a full-size sofa!). As the director of staging at rising-star design firm ASH NYC, Bowen is tasked with maximizing the potential of every home the team designs, as well as finding—and often custom-ordering—furnishings and decor to perfectly suit the size, shape, and feel of various rooms. One of the model kitchens at 225 Weybosset in Providence, Rhode Island, designed by ASH NYC and staged by Bowen’s team—the subdued ...

As housing prices in Western Washington continue through the roof, some Bellingham millennials have saved money by becoming “boom-mates” with empty-nest couples with space to rent. Baby boomers have been taking the blame recently for many of society’s ills, but research by the real estate firm Trulia could put this “worst generation” at the cutting edge of a way to ease the housing crunch in Whatcom County. My current landlord is very responsive to things like maintenance requests. Stephanie Allen, Bellingham “I used to do this for a few years,” said Michael Godwin of Bellingham in response to a social media inquiry . “I rented a mother-in-law suite from an older couple whose kids were old enough to be out of the house.” Godwin said he paid about $550 a month including utilities for a room in the Geneva- Sudden Valley area from 2013-2016. “I feel like it saved me money insofar as it was the cheapest way for me to live by myself,” Godwin said. “Had I opted for an apartment with room...

At $750 a month, a new apartment opening in the University District is one of the cheapest in Seattle. So what do you get for that price? A room the size of a parking space with a toilet that’s not even behind its own door. The landlord for a congregate housing building opening on Seventh Avenue Northeast recently posted an ad online searching for tenants, and it was widely circulated this week in a Reddit post that referred to the room as a “prison cell.” The ad features a 130-square-foot “studio” that contains a sink, shower and toilet. The entire space is in one room: The toilet and shower are open to the rest of the living space. There is no kitchen. The rent is $750 a month, plus a $1,000 deposit, and includes access to a congregate kitchen area and free utilities. “This is a definite MUST SEE!!” the ad says. New apartment in U District! $750/month !?!? For perspective, just seven years ago, $750 got renters the average University District studio , according to Dupre + Scot...

10 4045 Vineland Ave Studio City , CA 91604 (855) 662-7294 I have lived here a long time and I like it. It is a bit pricey. I enjoy the built in W/D and fireplaces in the units. They have a workout room, jacuzzi, pool and small business area with computers (no printer - they used to have and I wish they would replace it). It is a quiet building, with security guards and security cameras and doors so that is nice. It is very pretty in and out with no bug issues (I hate bugs! so this is major for me) The complaints about the peeling paint and general dirtiness in the stairwells has been true from time to time, but they eventually do clean and paint. We have had water run off issues in those areas, so it took a while to repair. The general upkeep is good overall. Everyone has always been very nice and friendly to me and all repair/maintenance issues are immediately addressed. You can hear people walking above, but that does not bother me. On the whole, if you don't mind paying a b...
