This book lays out everything you need to have the rental apartment of your dreams, from tips on finding a place to rent and moving, to room guides on how to lay out your furniture and more. Sprinkled throughout are stylish decor ideas that will make any home prettier AND ideas that are easily reversible so you don't lose your security deposit! Both renters and landlords will likely appreciate the advice Chelsey shares." --Adrienne Breaux, <i>Apartment Therapy</i>'s House Tour Editor <p/> "Gone are the days of 'I'll wait until I buy a home to make my place look fabulous.' Chelsey shows us all that your home, even your rental home, should be a reflection of you, a place you are proud to show off!" --Chaya Krinsky, head designer for TOV Furniture <p/> "This book is amazing. You'll learn so much from it, and the photos are actually from real people's homes. The tips are super practical and it makes you feel like you can be your own interior designer without having to spend loads of money on a professional one! This book is unlike any other coffee table book, and you'll love it as much as I did!" --Pauline Sussmann, American television producer <p/> "During my time living in countless different flats, I wish I had a resource like <i>Rental Style</i> in hand. . . . Chelsey's book is a bit like having a friend holding your hand as she walks you through the sometimes turbulent and stressful world of apartment living. Step by step and room by room, her guidance and reassurance can truly transform any rental property into a thing of beauty." --Kimberly Duran, creator of <i>Swoon Worthy</i>, from the foreword <p/> "Renters who drool over HGTV decorating shows but don't have the freedom to knock down walls will swoon over this practical guide on how to cultivate maximum style in a nonpermanent setup. . . . This'll be a hit with anyone who writes a rent check and wants to add a bit of flair to their home." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/> "Experts suggest that those starting a career or moving to a new city should rent housing first and buy later. One concern with renting, though, is ensuring that the unowned apartment or house speaks to the individual's sense of home--without the need to make alternatives that could be costly move-out issues. Enter interior decorator Brown, blogger behind City Chic Decor, who specializes in personalizing rentals. This is her room-by-room view, complete with good color photographs (it's hard to believe there's contact paper on those countertops, for example). Every chapter features design products to consider that are fairly easy to take with, such as books, faux flowers, rugs, and floating shelves. There's advice, too, for finding apartments (especially difficult in cities like Boston, New York, and San Francisco), from avoiding last-minute searches to signing a contract quickly. How to transform an ugly bathroom? Try a new shower curtain and rug. Includes a list of go-to resources." --<i>Booklist</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Chelsey Brown</b> is an interior decorator living in Manhattan.
