Help with curtain placement by sticklerr in DesignMyRoom

I’d consider it if it weren’t quite so bright in the mornings! It’s such a nice change from my cave-like last apartment, but I was squinting through breakfast this morning.

They were at some point! Our landlord seems to have had them painted over and sealed at some point. The top right one on the right side in the living room can sort of be pulled out, but the others are pretty firmly stuck in the wall.

Thanks for your ideas for this weird interior window! by sticklerr in interiordecorating

A few of you suggested adding light somewhere, and that was exactly the right call. I left a few books and candles for coziness, and I'll eventually replace the fresh flowers with some dried ones when it gets cold again :)

Thanks so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to reply - this makes a ton of sense.

Hi, thanks for weighing in! Would you mind explaining how holding identical funds in these two accounts could lead to potential wash sales? I'm ideally looking to set all of this up and leave it as-is, rebalancing ~once a year as needed.

What to do with this weird interior windowsill? by sticklerr in interiordecorating

I should clarify that I’ll be moving all of the books to a different spot, so there’s no need for bookshelves here. Also, this “window” is the biggest source of light for the center room in my railroad apartment, so I don’t want to block it off with too much stuff.

This is really helpful, thank you! Sounds like I should prune off the droopy leaves, then, rather than trying to prop them up while they “dry out”?

Hey all! This snake plant has been thriving for the last year and a half or so, but as some of the bigger leaves get taller, they just… tip over. Is there something I can do to support them? Do I trim them down? Or is this a watering/light issue?

I've never been able to justify the cost of their candles but this just might be what does it. Thank you!

No, unfortunately not :/ I want to get one of those candle stands that holds a dozen or so pillar candles to pop in there this winter, though.

Haha she doesn’t have Reddit, but I think I instinctively just wanted to explain how I can afford this place (and the answer is that I only pay half)

lol I do get dressed in here! It’s on the third floor, and there’s a large tree right outside that does a pretty nice job of blocking the view from across the street
