Tips to making your rental feel like your own
It’s easy to bring in your own style using soft furnishings, that you can swap in and out to create the look you want. Here’s what to think about in each room:
* Bedroom – use your duvet and pillows to bring in the colours you want. Layer the pillows and throws, but keep it really simple and clean. Add some rattan or wicker furniture. Add in some nice wicker baskets - they could double as practical storage which is often much needed in a #rental.
* Living - try temporary slipcovers on your old couches and occasional chairs. Go for linen or a cotton look – not only do they look nice and summery, but you can chuck them in the washing machine and they’re good as new when they come out.
* Kitchen – if you are looking for a coastal vibe , recycled timber furniture is your best friend. It’s got that beautiful battered coastal look and it’s very cost-effective, you can pick it up in second hand or vintage stores for next to nothing. Think about looking for timber bar stools or dining room tables for your kitchen – they’ll not only bring the beach feel inside but will keep within your budget.
Now you’ll be able to create a beautiful space that feels like your own, won’t blow your budget - and will keep your landlord happy.

LOST MOHAIR GLOVE
Late yesterday afternoon I lost a glove to a pair my daughter gave me. I would love to find this glove. It was lost either at Miles Lane or the Bethlehem shops car park outside Woolworths. I’ll offer a reward to anyone who can return this glove to me. One glove is not much use to anyone. Many thanks Jill
