At first I was confused. I'd posted this NYC condo over a year ago and it hasn't sold. But, then I realized what the realtor did- this is a photoshopped version of what it COULD look like. The 5bd, 5ba, 4,076 sq ft apt. is priced at $8.75m, but this is not what it really looks like.
This is what the new owner would be buying. As far as I'm concerned it's cool, but I guess this is why it hasn't sold. So, let's go on and compare the real thing to the realtor's desperate vision, hoping to sell it.
The large living room looking all white and gray.
And, the large living room as it is. But, the carpet- it's like art. I bet it was expensive. And, I love the interesting light fixture.
In the realtor's vision, a built-in bookshelf appears in the corner and there are draperies. The carpet is gone, in favor of a new wood floor and area rugs.
No curtains, the carpet pattern changes, which is cool. I would probably repaint a brighter color, the walls need a refresh.
This is how the dining room could look. I'm surprised that they kept the built-in corner table. Another built-in shelf, too.
The carpet continues around to the dining room. The place does need painting, the walls look worn.
The kitchen would look like this with a total gut.
Because this is the current kitchen. Check out the floor. Love the Playboy bunny stool. And, look at the cool lights going around the ceiling, that the realtor removed.
The new primary bedroom. It's a nice big room, isn't it?
This is the bedroom now. It's looking a little tired and needs refreshing.
The realtor didn't change the delightful child's room. Look at the colorful little loft above the bed.
This bath, however, is a different story. This is how it could look.
And, this is how it looks now. Lots of mosaics.
They didn't alter this bath. (There are 5). The little pink sink is cute and the blue tile isn't too bad to leave alone.
This is considered an amazing view in Manhattan.
I think I can see NJ.
So, the new owner will have what they call a million dollar view.
It's a huge apt. , which is why it's so expensive. But, a buyer would have to consider the extra cost of remodeling it.

âAlright, thatâs a wrap for today everyone!â The director shouted as you and your co-stars left the sound stage and headed for your respective trailers. You shut the trailer door behind you, exhaling when you heard the click of the lock.Â
Spinning around, a smile grew on your face when there wasnât anyone or anything waiting for you this time. No more flowers, just the vaseful that remained on the side table, the tiny folded envelope left next to it, your name scrawled in Nicholasâ messy handwriting.Â
Huffing you grabbed the vase and card, throwing the card in the trash and walking over to the small stainless steel sink to dump the water from the vase. You hesitated, they were such pretty flowers, your favorite in fact. You shook the thoughts from your head as you dumped the water, watching it disappear down the tiny drain. You threw the flowers in the trash, pushing down on the trash can lid as it didnât fully close due to the length of the flower stems. The lid finally shut with a little extra force as you set the now empty vase on the table.Â
A content sigh left your lips as you relaxed into the plush of the sofa, taking a moment before you decided to return to your apartment. Your phone ringing disrupted the quiet you had been reveling in, a stark contrast from the loud and active set that you had been on today. âHello?â
âHi Honey! How was filming today?â It was your mother, checking in on you for the day. Since you had moved away to Los Angeles from your hometown, hundreds of miles away, your mom or dad had called you every day, missing having you close.
âIt was good. We wrapped for the day about 20 minutes ago. Iâm about to head back to my place in a few minutes.â You explained, glancing at the time for a moment.Â
âHowâs Nick? Heâs a good guy for you, (Y/n/n).â Your mom asked, catching you off guard. You blinked a couple of times, making sure you had heard her correctly.
âNick? When did Nick call you?â You asked, grabbing your bag and stepping out of the trailer as your eyebrows furrowed.Â
âOh I just spoke to him earlier today. He called to wish your father a happy birthday.â She explained. âSpeaking of, did you call your father yet?â
âUh, no. Not yet. Itâs been a hectic day.â Your brain was still stuck on him calling your family. âUh, Mom, Iâve gotta go. Something just came up. Iâll call you tomorrow.â You said quickly, not waiting for her to respond before you hung up. You got out of your parked car, locking it before you walked up the driveway, going through your settings at the same time, trying to find the blocked contacts list to make sure he was still on it. Sliding your phone back into your pocket as you went up the front stairs and stood at your door. You placed the key in the lock, opening the door and looking around outside before closing it and locking it behind you, placing the latch lock on as well. âWhat the hell is wrong with him?â You mumbled under your breath thinking about how Nicholas called your parents again.Â
Turning the lights on as the sun now hung low in the sky, your cozy living room was bathed in a soft yellow glow. You hummed to yourself as you placed your bag on one of the chairs at the kitchen table, grabbing the watering can and walking over to the kitchen sink to fill it so you could water all the plants that were scattered around the living room and perched on the windowsills. âHowâd filming go?â You dropped the watering can onto the large area rug, your eyes wide and mouth agape.Â
âWhat the hell!â You screamed, your vision blurry with unshed tears. You werenât even sure why you felt the urge to cry, chalking it up to a fear response as you blinked the tears away and picked up the watering can that was now empty since its contents were soaking into the rug as you stood there. You threw the watering can at your ex boyfriend, rolling your eyes when he caught it, though the most that it wouldâve done was bounce off of him.Â
âA bit dramatic, huh?â Nicholas chuckled as he set the empty watering can on your coffee table. âI like what youâve done with the place.â He gestures around to the plants and slightly different layout from when he had last been there over a year before.Â
âDramatic?â You questioned. âDramatic.â A humorless laugh escaped you as you narrowed your eyes at him. âHow did you get in here? This is breaking and entering.âÂ
He dangled the key off of his finger. âOh I just told Mr. Daniels that I lost my key at the airport and he gave me a spare.â
You gritted your teeth. This was the second time you had talked to your landlord, Mr. Daniels, about either changing the locks or something related to keys. âGet out.â You told him, pointing towards the door.
âCome on (Y/n/n), just hear me out.â His dark brown eyes bored into yours, and you werenât sure why they were so disarming, why you were even considering listening to him right now.Â
âIâm calling the cops, Nick.â You told him as you shook your head. âYou canât keep doing stuff like this. Just leave me alone! Weâre done! Weâve been done for a year! Let me be.âÂ
âIt was a mistake to let you go, (Y/n).â He shook his head this time, the cocky look on his face replaced by something genuine and sad.Â
âYou made your choice. We both did.â You interjected. âWe arenât little kids anymore, weâre adults. Start acting like one and accept that.â
âYou know the cops wonât do anything.â
âMaybe, but Iâm going to get a restraining order if you donât stop. You need to stop and...and donât call my parents! What the hell is wrong with you?â
âYou never told them that we broke up, did you?â You watched as a smirk began to pull at his lips.
âWhat?" Your voice faltered. "Donât flatter yourself.â You scoffed at the tone of his voice. âI have told themâŚand if you donât leave now, Iâll tell them everything else and weâll see what they do.â
Nicholas rolled his eyes. âWell, I wouldnât be here if you hadn't blocked me.âÂ
âOk, well...Goodbye.â You said, pushing him towards the door. You gave him one final push, though you were pretty sure he definitely couldâve put up more of a fight if he had wanted to.Â
âIâm sure Iâll see you around, huh?â
âGoodbye Nicholas.â You repeated, not answering his question as you closed the door in his face, locking the latch back once more. Sure, you hadnât answered his question, but you both knew the answer anyway.Â
It was unavoidable, Hollywood was way too small to avoid him forever whether that meant seeing him at awards shows, working together on the same project, or just seeing him around, you knew he would never actually leave, and for now he seemed content with that knowledge and you were content with the conclusion of the night.
The living room returned to silence as you sat down on the sofa. You pushed your hair from out of your face, twisting a piece around your finger before letting it go.Â
For now, things were manageable. Maybe you would regret it later, but you had convinced yourself, however naive your thought process, that you would deal with him later. He wasnât a real threat, he was just annoying.
Future you could handle it.
Let me know if you want to be on a permanent tag list.

This Love Came Back to Me (10)
Summary: You and Bradley hadnât ended on bad terms; really, you stopped before the two of you could even truly begin. Still, in the last seven months, you had never completely left his mind. So when you suddenly appeared in front of him at the bar, asking for a favor and pulling him into a kiss, he thought maybe it was the perfect opportunity to see if this time, things could be different. But what neither of you realized was that thereâs more going on than just rekindling a lost romance, and it might not be as easy as simply just wanting it.Â
Pairing: Bradley Bradshaw x Reader (no use of y/n)
Warnings: second chance romance, language, allusions of smut and potential full smut, stalking, breaking and entering, unhealthy obsessions, delusions of feelings, unwanted attention.

-----
Bradley told you to pack enough for the week. After dropping off all the appropriate forms at the courthouse on Monday morning, the two of you headed off. The further you got from San Diego, the more relaxed you seemed to become. He had managed to find a cabin a few hours away up in San Bernardino. It was secluded, tucked away in the mountains and amongst the trees, but itâs picturesque, quiet, something he knew you would love. He paid more than a little extra to have it ready at such short notice, but it was worth it ten times over to see the smile on your face when you climbed out of the Bronco and breathed in the crisp and invigorating mountain area. He couldnât help but just to watch you for a minute, your head tilted back and your eyes closed.Â
There was still a heaviness around you that he knew wouldnât go right away. But for the first time in days, you looked something close to at peace.Â
The inside of the cabin was just as impressive as the outside. It had a large open concept space that contained the living room and the kitchen, and it was all wood tones and dark, oversized furniture. Faux fur rugs decorated the hardwood floors, and the windows were tall and wide, letting in whatever natural light peaked in through the trees facing that side of the house. You spun in a slow circle, looking up at the high tilted ceilings with the exposed beams.Â
âWow,â you breathed. It was all you needed to say for Bradley to know he had made the right call in bringing you here.Â
You left him to take your bags to the bedroom as he put away the groceries you had stopped for on the way. You hadnât come back by the time he was done so he set off to find you, going down the short hallway to the only other room in the cabin. He couldnât help but whistle in appreciation as he looked around the space. The king size bed that looked like the most comfortable thing he had ever seen sat in the middle of the room. There was a rocking chair tucked into the corner, and the dresser looked like it was made of the same type of sturdy wood as the bedframe. There was an en suite bathroom that he was sure was just as beautiful, but the real draw of this room, perhaps this place in general, was the view he was currently looking at.Â
He hadnât spent too much time looking at the pictures on the rental website, but he suddenly understood the price tag on it.Â
There was a large deck off of the bedroom, and through the open french doors, he could see nothing but the mountain landscape. Rugged peaks and luscious trees of greens and browns and oranges; nature in its purest form. It was only early afternoon and the open blue sky was breathtaking; he couldnât imagine what it would look like at sunset. More than that though, was the view he had brought with him. You were leaning against the railing, taking in the stunning panorama that the deck overlooked. He joined you outside, careful to make his presence known so that when he wrapped his arms around you from behind, you didnât jump.Â
âBeautiful, isnât it?âÂ
You spoke quietly as you leant back against him, almost like you were afraid to disrupt the calmness surrounding you from all sides.Â
âIt is,â he agreed. And he was looking at the view, yes, but he was mostly looking at you.Â
You turned to face him, winding your arms around his neck. âThank you,â you said, âfor bringing me here. I think-I think I-â you closed your eyes and shook your head, and the deep breath you took came out a little shaky. Bradley waited for you as you collected your thoughts, his thumbs rubbing circles into the small of your back. âI think I needed this,â you finally settled on. He knew there was so much more behind your words.Â
Bradley considered his response carefully. He knew what he wanted to say. But he knew it wasnât the time yet.Â
âIâd do anything for you,â he said instead. He pulled you a little bit closer. He didnât want you to thank him for bringing you here, because taking care of you wasnât something he ever wanted to be thanked for like it was a chore. Your eyes brightened just a bit at his words and you raised on your toes to kiss him.Â
You passed the next few hours doing not much of anything, and Bradley thought it was exactly what the both of you needed. He could tell that you were still exhausted after the weekend, and if he was being honest, he was too. It was nearing 5pm and he was about to ask you what you wanted to make for dinner when your phone rang. You looked up from the book you were reading to where your phone was sitting on the coffee table. Seeing the hesitation in your eyes, Bradley cleared his throat of his own anxiety and leant forward to pick it up. When he saw that the suggested name for the number was the San Diego Courthouse, he handed it to you with what he hoped was an encouraging smile.Â
âItâll be okay,â he whispered, squeezing your ankle from where your feet were resting in his lap. You nodded and answered the phone with a deep breath.Â
âHello?âÂ
Bradley kept his eyes trained on you and it wasnât long into the call that your eyes squeezed shut and you bit down on your lip so hard he worried about drawing blood. That same defeated look that had been on your face the last few days reappeared.Â
He knew, without you even needing to say anything, that you hadnât been granted the emergency temporary restraining order.Â
His heart fell and he reached out and grasped your free hand in his. He could feel the bandages still covering your palm against his skin and your nails dug into his hand as you squeezed. A tear slid down your cheek and he brought your hand up to press a kiss onto your fingers. He scooted closer on the couch, drawing you into his chest. You tucked your face into his neck and he listened as you asked about a court date and thanked them for calling before letting the phone fall to the couch. Immediately, both of your arms were wrapped around his neck, and he was pulling you fully into his lap.Â
âWhat did they say?â he asked gently into your hair. He felt you take a shuddering breath.Â
âNot enough concrete evidence as of right now,â you told him. âIâll get a phone call about a court date. God, this is such bullshit.âÂ
Bradley let out a long sigh, pressing a kiss to your head as he held you close. He couldnât say part of him didnât see this coming after the conversation heâd had with Sadie, even if he had hoped with everything in him it would go the other way.Â
He pulled back, cupping your face in his hands and making you look at him. He wiped away the wetness on your cheek with his thumb. âWe can call Sadie later. Figure something out. Okay?âÂ
You nodded, but he could tell you were beating yourself up, and that all the worst scenarios were running through your head again. âWhat can I do?â he asked, feeling somewhat desperate. Heâd do anything for you, just like he said.Â
It took you a moment to respond, playing with a button on his open flannel shirt. âI think I just want you to hold me right now,â you answered back quietly.Â
He wondered if you had any idea heâd do that forever if you let him, no matter the circumstances.Â
ââ
When Bradley blinked awake the next morning, you werenât beside him. He felt a flare of panic for a brief moment at the cold sheets, his sleep-fogged brain having a hard time coming out of the nightmares he had had, but then he heard the soft hum of music and movement coming from the main area of the cabin. He let his face fall back into the pillow and took a deep breath as his heart rate slowed.Â
He laid there for a moment just listening before dragging himself out of bed, popping into the bathroom quickly before heading out of the bedroom.Â
He found you quickly enough, his suspicions confirmed that you were in the kitchen. A smile tugged at his lips as he watched you pop back and forth between the stove and the fridge, wearing his shirt from the day before and a pair of fuzzy socks on your feet. A smudge of what looked like pancake batter was on your cheek, and there were specks of flour in the messy bun on top of your head. You smiled brightly when you caught sight of him standing there.Â
âMorning, sleepyhead.âÂ
He couldnât help but feel a bit of surprise at your tone. You sounded at ease and energetic, which was the complete opposite of how you had fallen asleep last night. He responded back with his own greeting as he walked over to you. You were manning pancakes, just like he had thought, and bacon sizzled on the other burner. He wrapped his arms around you from behind, pressing his lips to your cheek. He could taste a hint of vanilla from the batter he kissed off.Â
âHow long have you been awake?â he wondered, voice still thick and rough with sleep. You leaned back into his chest as you flipped a pancake. He noted that it was a little after 9:00 from the clock on the microwave, and was surprised he himself had slept so long.Â
âA few hours,â you shrugged, and you turned the temperature down on the bacon before turning in his arms to kiss him properly.Â
He raised an eyebrow in question when you pulled away. âA few hours?âÂ
âYeah,â you told him, and you took a deep breath before offering him another, softer smile. âI emailed my resume to that contact that Anna gave me, about a potential job. And then I put in a few more applications. And then I emailed Sadie all that she had asked about, and my landlord about not renewing my lease. And then I realized the time, so I thought Iâd make us breakfast.âÂ
âWow,â he murmured, âproductive morning, huh?âÂ
You shrugged, glancing down almost shyly before meeting his eyes again. âYou went through a lot of trouble getting us this place for the week. And youâŚyouâve gone through a lot of trouble for me.âÂ
âBug, I-âÂ
âNo, let me finish,â you told him, putting your finger against his lips to stop him from speaking. âI really appreciate it, Bradley. I appreciate you. And I want to be here, be present with you. Everything else can wait until we get back to San Diego. Itâs certainly not going away anytime soon. But for this weekâŚI want to just be. Here. With you. Happy. Because thatâs what you make me. And I think we both deserve the time away, no matter what got us here. Right?â Â
His heart beat a little faster in his chest as you spoke, and he felt something that he thought was pride bubble up in him. You said the words almost reverently, like you craved nothing more. Bradley could see it in your eyes how desperately you meant it.
âOkay,â he murmured, nodding his agreement. He pressed a kiss to your nose, delighting in the way you giggled in response. âSo, what are we doing first?â
âBreakfast,â you told him with a grin, âAnd then we can figure it out from there.âÂ
He squeezed your hips with a nod. âThat sounds perfect.âÂ
After an unhurried breakfast, you ended up spending the day hiking on some of the trails down the mountainside. He knew how much you loved being outside and that the last few months, between how busy you were and how uneasy you felt, you hadnât really had the opportunity. So he didnât hesitate to indulge you as you kept a leisurely pace, simply enjoying being outdoors and taking in all of the scenery that Mother Nature offered you. You packed a small lunch of sandwiches and fruit that you took with you, eating together amongst the grass and rocks.
The sun was setting by the time you got back to the cabin, sweaty with sore muscles but both of you smiling. You were still giggling at the story he was telling you about a prank Payback had played on Nat last week - and the payback she had gotten in return - when you walked through the door and toed your shoes off.Â
Bradley pulled you to him with a gentle hand on your hip, leaning down to place a kiss on your lips as your laughter died down.Â
âWhy donât you go shower, and I can start on dinner?â he suggested.Â
âI can cook tonight,â you insisted, but he shook his head.Â
âI got it.â
âBâŚâ
He silenced your protest with another soft kiss, squeezing your hip over your spandex leggings. âShower,â he whispered against your lips. He pressed his own to your nose and forehead before winking and stepping back. He watched you walk back to the bedroom, pausing when you got to the doorway. You looked back at him over your shoulder, your bottom lip drawn between your teeth. You looked like you were contemplating something, and Bradley clocked the flash of heat that pops up in your eyes. His heart beat a little faster in his chest. You looked like you were contemplating saying something, but after a moment, you gave him a quick smile before disappearing into the room.Â
He let out a long huff of air and ran a hand through his hair.Â
He hadnât even thought about touching you since Saturday morning before you had left for brunch. It was only Tuesday night now, but it felt like so much time had passed since he took you in the bed of that goddamn house of yours. You had both been upset the last few days, and heâd never dream of using those emotions to his advantage. He knew today had been better, but you hadnât invited him in the shower with you - heâd wait until you told him you were ready.Â
But damn if the happiness you were exuding today and the look you just gave him didnât make resisting difficult.
He kept things simple, and an easy meal was done by the time you were finished. Your hair was piled in a wet knot on top of your head and you wore one of his oversized sweatshirts that was so long on you, he could barely see the hem of the athletic shorts you had on, too. Still, when you walked back into the main area of the cabin, his breath caught. He stared at you for a moment, and when you furrowed an eyebrow, softly asking him what was wrong, he cleared his throat and shook his head.Â
âNothing,â he said, and then held out one of the bowls of pasta in his hand. The two of you sat at the small kitchen table as you ate your dinner. He was happy to see that your appetite seemed to have come back after not eating much of anything the last three days. You did the dishes together when you were done, your side flush with his as he washed and you dried. He excused himself after that to go take his own shower, and he didnât miss the way you bit your lip again as the same look crossed your eyes. But you gave him another one of those gentle smiles when he caught your eye, turning away before he could say anything.Â
He made it a quick one, in and out in enough time to scrub off and run some of your shampoo and conditioner through his hair. He was worried spending anymore time in there with his thoughts would be cause for something significantly colder in temperature.Â
A buzzing drew his attention as he was toweling off. His brows furrowed together and he was quick to slip his black briefs on and step back into the bedroom. Your phone was on top of the dresser, vibrating against the wood. It stopped before he could reach it, only to start again in short, quick bursts that indicated you were getting multiple texts in a row.
He picked it up with the intention of taking it to you, but then he caught a look at the screen. His blood ran cold in his veins and his muscles locked up.Â
Underneath the notifications of the missed calls, you had a slew of messages, all from an unsaved number. Â
Unknown: You havenât been at work in two days. Are you okay?
Unknown: I miss seeing youÂ
Unknown: Why wonât you answer the phone?Â
Unknown: I still have your necklace. Donât you want it back?Â
Unknown: I canât see where you are anymore. Why did you do that? I need to check on you.Â
They continued to come in, each one more concerning and unhinged than the one before.Â
He could feel the corners of your phone case pressing into his palms from how hard he was gripping the device, as well as the heat that crept up his neck in anger. It was obvious who was sending these messages. Paul must have gone out of his way to get another phone number, and Bradley's not sure why he was surprised by this. He was foolish to not have thought of it before.Â
You may have blocked his number, but that doesnât mean your number was blocked from his.Â
God damnit.Â
The phone rang again, the same unknown number flashing on the screen. Every single fiber of Bradleyâs being wanted to answer it and demand that he leave you the fuck alone and get everything that he had kept in off of his chest. His finger hovered over the answer button as he intended to do just that.Â
But the cops you had spoken with as well as Sadie had said that neither of you should engage with him, and that it would turn in his favor if you did. He knew that it would only make things worse for you. So he fought himself and let it ring. He was nearly trembling by the time it stopped, and he watched as more texts came through. Red tinted his vision at the last one.Â
Unknown: He took you from me. You should have told him that you were already mine. Â
Bradley nearly broke the screen with how hard he pressed on it as he went in and blocked the number. He was set on deleting everything, but paused before he did. He glanced up at the open bedroom door. He could hear the TV playing softly, some sitcom you liked to rewatch over and over again. You had made the conscious decision this morning that you werenât going to worry or think about Paul this week. You had laughed and smiled and seemed truly relaxed and happy all day. He didnât want to ruin that.Â
But he wondered if this could help you in the long run, and be some sort of evidence of just how unhinged this guy was when it came to you.
Making a split second decision, he took screenshots of all your missed calls and texts and sent them to himself before deleting them from your phone and turning it off.
You didnât need to know right now. He could shoulder this for you until it was necessary. Â
He sunk down onto the edge of the bed, putting his face in his hands and trying to take deep breaths. He knew he needed to calm down before he went back out to you. He was so angry his hands were shaking, but after a few minutes, that rage transformed into something sadder.Â
He couldnât understand why this was happening to you. You, who was inherently good. You worked so hard and were kind to everyone you met, even when they didnât deserve it. And this asshole had taken advantage of and construed that kindness into something that it wasnât and tried to manipulate you into thinking you were at fault.Â
That last text played in his mind again, and for the first time, he wondered if his presence in your life was what made all of this what it was. Paul had been following you for months, yes. But as far as you both knew, he hadnât escalated to what he had until that night in the bar when Bradley had announced himself as your boyfriend.Â
It left a terrible feeling in his stomach and a bad taste in his mouth.Â
He took one more deep breath and stood from the bed, slipping on a pair of sweatpants and a tshirt. You were curled up on the couch under a thick maroon afghan that had been draped over the back and you smiled at him when he came into view, sipping on a mug of what he assumed was tea based on the string hanging out of it.Â
âHi there,â you murmured.Â
He leaned over the couch to press a kiss to your waiting lips. âHey.âÂ
âHow was your shower?â you asked.Â
âGood. I donât smell like dirt and sweat anymore,â he joked, and he felt himself calm down further when you laughed, just like he had hoped you would. A playful look came over your face and you set your drink down, crooking a finger for him to come closer. You kissed him again when he did.Â
âIâll be the judge of that. Come sit with me. We can watch a movie.âÂ
You shifted so he could settle onto the couch behind you, your back against his chest as you laid between his legs. He wrapped his arms around you and you pulled the blanket over the two of you as you grabbed the remote again to flip to a different streaming service on the tv above the fireplace. You scrolled through the extensive movie collection, and Bradley thought about what things would look like if he had declined your request for help that night and didnât kiss you, if you never would have reconnected. Would they have gone so far? Or would things be the same, only you would be dealing with them on your own?Â
But he was selfish enough where he couldnât handle the thought of losing you again, either. He had to believe you were safer with him there, because he could protect you. He wasnât going anywhere - he couldnât.Â
He loved you way too much to let you go. At this point, you controlled and owned nearly every part of him, and he didnât think you even knew it. He wanted to tell you.
âWhat do you want to watch?â you asked.Â
Bradley cleared his throat that was suddenly thick with emotion. He pressed a kiss to the side of your head, nuzzling his face into your neck and breathing in the sweet smell of your hair.Â
âWhatever you want,â he rasped out, tightening his grip on you. You hummed in pleasure as you snuggled back into him. âYouâre in control here, Bug.âÂ

sweet surrender is all that I have to give
Week 2 of @softsteddieseptember using the prompt âDreams of the futureâ
Rating: T
October 31, 1986
Steve glanced at the clock on the mantel. It was 8:40. He had about twenty more minutes before Eddie got home from his job. Eddie had found work at a record store shortly after they moved into their bungalow, and was actually enjoying going to work. There he was able to talk for hours with other like-minded musicians and metal heads: discussing the intricacies of the guitar work on âMaster of Puppetsâ vs âRide the Lightningâ, and got into good natured arguments about the fact that âScreaming for Vengeanceâ was the superior Judas Priest album, no matter how much the customer argued that it was actually âBritish Steelâ.
Eddie was happier than Steve had ever remembered seeing him. Having a job he actually wanted instead of one that he had taken only out of necessity certainly helped. Along with the fact that they were no longer living in Hawkins. Funny how moving away from a place where everyone who was openly hostile to you helped your mental health. Steve owed a debt of gratitude to Chief Hopper for getting them in touch with Dr. Owens. Owens had been able to pull all the strings to allow them to both move from Hawkins to a neighborhood just outside of Indianapolis in early September.
Owens had set them up with a 3 bedroom bungalow: it had a fireplace, a garage, a nice yard for gardening. Best of all, it was theirs: Owens had put both Steve and Eddieâs names on the deed to the house, and had bought it outright for them. No one could ever take it away from them.
Steve was emotional over this, but Eddie more so. Steve had always lived at his parentâs home, but Eddieâs home life had been in an upheaval since his Mom died when he was a kid. The most stable home heâd had was living with Wayne, and that was only consistent after his Dad had abandoned him two years ago. Heâd cried in Steveâs arms their first night in the house, worried it would be taken away from them. It had taken at least three weeks for the worry to ease, for Eddie to sleep through the night soundly.
They had set up their home pretty quickly with help from their friends and loved ones. The master bedroom was easy enough, as all it required was Eddie and Steve to combine their own bedrooms. One of the other bedrooms was set up for guests, and the third one was an office slash music room for both of them to use. The Wheelers and the Hendersons had gotten them set up with bed and bathroom linens, lamps for the living room, a dining room set of table and chairs, and two dinnerware sets with flatware, cups, plates, and bowls. Chief Hopper and Joyce Byers had combined their money and gotten them a few things for their kitchen: a kettle, two pans, two pots, and basic cooking utensils. Owens had even given them a large area rug, end and coffee tables, two couches, and two armchairs, both of them new.
All of these things meant that they had zero to no worries about money to furnish their house. They could focus on getting settled in their new neighborhood, getting their new jobs, and settling into their domestic life together. In addition to Eddieâs work at the record shop, Steve was working part time as a substitute teacher for the local middle school. He also was a shift supervisor at the local supermarket. His pay was also decent at both places and the extra bit of cash let them start building up their savings.
Before theyâd moved to this house, during the midst of their intense romance that had begun in April of that year, theyâd talked about future plans. Steve told Eddie that he wanted a future with him. Heâd said that he wanted to get him a ring that he deserved. And after two months of looking, heâd finally found one.
Heâd found a ring he wanted to use to ask Eddie to marry him.
They couldnât get legally married. Both of them knew that, but Steve wanted to do something. Even something like getting a ring for the person he wanted to marry. And wanted to spend the rest of his life with.
The fact that Steve wanted to get married at all spoke to how much growth heâd had as a person. Seeing how toxic his parentsâ marriage was as he grew up had initially soured him on it. Being with Nancy had changed his mind a little bit, but it wasnât until his relationship with Eddie started that Steve saw what he wanted for his future.
And exactly who he wanted it with.
He heard the key turning in the lock and stood up as Eddie came in humming. He looked up at Steve and gave him that grin, the dimples on full display. âHey, baby,â he said, closing the door and putting his keys away. As he walked,he shrugged out of his leather jacket and held up the plastic bag. âI stopped by the grocery store and got us some chocolate. I have to assume the trick or treaters cleaned us out?â
Steve nodded, brushing his hair back from his face as he closed the distance and gave Eddie a soft kiss on the lips. âThey did. The Reeseâs got decimated, but they left us with a lot of Butterfingers.â
Eddie kissed him back and laughed. âJust as planned.â He liked all candy, but Butterfingers held a special place in Eddieâs heart.
âYou were right,â Steve agreed, running a hand through Eddieâs curls and kissing him once more. âGive me the chocolate. Why donât you sit down, and Iâll go get us something to snack on.â
âYouâre the best,â Eddie said, kissing Steve, with teeth this time before he reached behind and grabbed his ass. âDonât be too long. I want to watch âFright Nightâ.â
âOf course,â Steve agreed, giving Eddie his own ass grab before he took the bag of candy into the kitchen. He set the bag down on the counter and sighed shakily.
He was going to do it. And though he had a feeling he knew what the answer would be, asking the question scared him to death.
A few minutes later, Steve came back into the living room holding a tray laden with the bowl of candy, two unopened beers, and a medium sized jack-o-lantern, with the face turned towards him. He had lit the candle inside but his body blocked the light.
This ended up being a good thing, as Eddie had turned off the main lights in the room, leaving the only light in the room coming from the two jack-o-lanterns, and the glow of the TV. âVery spooky, babe,â he commented, setting the tray down on the table, leaning back against the couch.
âI thought so, too,â Eddie said, eyes flicking to the table. âIs that another jack-o-lantern? Why is it turned away?â He started to reach for it when Steve grabbed his hand.
âDonât turn it around just yet,â Steve said, rubbing his thumb over the back of Eddieâs hand. âI wanted to talk with you about something. Something good, I promise.â
Eddie blinked, but didnât let go of Steveâs hand. âOkayâŚâ he said, scooting closer on the couch.
Steve was silent, licking his lips to try and gather his thoughts. âThis time last year, I couldnât have imagined Iâd be where I am now: in my own house, living with a partner Iâm absolutely in love with.â He gave Eddie a shy smile. âWatching my parents as I grew upâŚit was hard to want to have a relationship with anyone. They had to be really special to me. They had to be someone I could be myself around, I could spend all my time with and not get tired of, as mean as that might sound.â
Eddie smirked. âI mean, yeah, it doesnât sound that good, but I get what you mean.â
Steve nodded. âSo, when you and I started dating, it was like everything clicked into place. We didnât have the best experiences with one another in high school, and then being thrust together like we were in March? Not the best experience there, either. As Iâm sure you know.â
Eddie answered by squeezing Steveâs hand, frowning a little. He kept his eyes on Steve, knowing that there was more to whatever Steve had to say to him.
âIâm not really sure when it was, but I was drawn to you, pretty early on. Youâre a hard person to ignore. Getting to know you when we went through all of that. And then spending time with you afterâŚThat night you came over in April? Iâd been thinking about kissing you for a while. And thenâŚwe did, and more, and ever since, Iâve felt as though Iâve been having the best dream of my whole life.â He swallowed, feeling emotion beginning to build, but he wanted to get through this.
âI fell for you so hard and so quickly, but it didnât scare me. Everything with you has felt good, and right. AndâŚwell, I feel as though Iâve found the missing part of myself.â He brought Eddieâs hand up to his mouth and kissed the back of it, not letting go when he set it back down. âYouâre who I dream about, the first person I think about when I wake up, and the last person I think about when we fall asleepâŚand I donât want to be with anyone else. I want to be with you for the rest of our lives.â
Eddieâs brown eyes were shiny with unshed tears, and Steve could feel them in his own eyes, so he knew he had to make this next part quickly. He let go of Eddieâs hand to reach over to the jack-o-lantern on the table. As he turned it around, showing that there was no face, but the words MARRY ME carved into it, he asked, âEddie, will you marry me?â
Eddie let out a sob and leaned forward, wrapping his arms around Steve, kissing him hard. âYes, yes, yes, of course! Of course Iâll marry you!â
Steve was also crying as he returned Eddieâs kisses, pulling him on top of him as he lay on his back on the couch. They were laughing and crying in equal measure, cheeks red with emotion.
âThis was so goddamn sweet, Steve,â Eddie said, voice watery as he calmed down.
âWell, thank you,â Steve said, brushing some hair out of Eddieâs face. âI was worried you would think it was corny.â
Eddie giggled. âSome would say itâs a little corny, but I canât imagine anything better. And on Halloween?! Babe. Youâre the best.â
âOh, I know,â Steve said, smirking a little. âAnd because Iâm the best, I got you this.â He reached into his pocket and pulled out a little grey velvet bag. Eddie took the bag, his lower lip beginning to quiver. âOh, sweetheart,â Steve said, voice soothing. He re-situated them so that he was sitting up, Eddie straddling him. He opened the bag and pulled out the ring: it was a thick silver band, with a square onyx stone. There were carvings around the stone setting and along the side of the band. As soon as he saw it in the store, he knew it was the right one for Eddie.
âGive me your hand, baby,â Steve said. Eddie put his left hand forward, shaking as Steve slid the ring onto his left ring finger. It was a perfect fit.
âOh, Steve,â Eddie gasped, putting his right hand over his mouth. âOh my God I love it so much. I love you so much!â
Steve smiled. âI love you, too, honey.â He was still holding the bag. âYou should look in the bag again. Thereâs something else in there.â
Eddie swallowed, reaching into the bag. His eyebrows went up as he pulled out a similar ring, but with a dark green stone instead of onyx. It was also at least a size bigger, so it could only be for Steve. âStevie,â Eddie sniffled, a tear sliding down his cheek. He grabbed Steveâs left hand and slid it onto his ring finger.
As soon as Steveâs ring was on, he pulled Eddie in for another kiss, wrapping his arms around his body. âLetâs go upstairs,â he whispered, voice thick with emotion. âI want to make love to you.â
âYes,â Eddie breathed, kissing him hard. âI want you all night.â
âYouâll have me all night,â Steve promised. âTonight, and every night after.â
Eddie smiled against Steveâs lips. âI canât wait.â

I wish you would write a fic where... actually, I don't got anything weird. I've just been thinking about Rude/Sephiroth domestic fluff lately because I think Rude is probably a skilled cook and Sephiroth wants that normal life and he could wield a broom as well as he does Masamune. I don't have anyone to tell this to lol
HELLO THANK YOU FOR THE ASK!! Alright, this is probably not exactly what you had in mind, but it is the madness that came from your ask, so if anything, it's all your fault. Enjoy! đ
âWhat are you doing?âÂ
âSweeping the floor.â
âYou swept in here three times, today. Youâre taking off the varnish.â
âI think this is vinyl.â
âÂĄVete!â
Sephiroth pouted, but he knew better than to argue with Rude when he was speaking his native language and using a wooden spoon to point, so he retreated from the kitchen, broom in hand, to seek out another spot in the house that he hadnât polished to a blinding shine, in the past few hours.
Maybe the upstairs closets? He wavered for a moment, then decided he may as well give the whole place an extra once-over. Better safe than sorry.
With his silver hair pulled up into a martial ponytail, and his weapon-calloused hands wielding a mop and feather duster like twin blades, he whirled through the living room, dining room, entryway, stairs, hallways, bedrooms, and all associated closets, in a blur, hellbent on eradicating even the tiniest molecule of intruding dust from his domain.Â
A large, fluffy, white cat was impolitely awakened from a nap, during this maelstrom of domestic activity, and made her displeasure known by violently assailing the feather duster, from atop a bookshelf. Otherwise, the operation suffered no serious setbacks.
Thirty-three minutes later, Sephiroth had scooted the last of the area rugs back into place, and was standing back, imbibing deep satisfaction from his well-ordered house. Then his stomach let out a loud growl.Â
Much like a member of a big-cat species, his ability to move at superhuman speeds demanded superhuman energy, and after the burst of activity, he was ravenously hungry.
It didnât help that Rude was saturating the air in the house with the beguiling, come-hither aromas of meat and fat and spices, piquant and savory and ever so enticing, wafting from the kitchen to brush coquettishly against Sephirothâs olfactory nerves.
Compelled by forces far stronger than himself, he slunk back into the kitchen, where he sidled up behind Rude and settled his hands on his hips, looking over his shoulder at the big, bubbling pot he was stirring. âWhat is all this? It smells wonderful.â
âPozole, elotes, sopas, beans, rice, and tortillas,â Rude said, pointing at each pot, pan, and covered dish, respectively, as Sephirothâs hands slid lower. âDonât think I donât know exactly what youâre doing.â
The hands stopped where they were. âWho? Me?â
âDonât you try that, âwho meâ shit. You always turn into a slut when you want food. You and that cat, both.âÂ
The cat in question, who had, indeed, padded into the kitchen after Sephiroth, to see if any treats were to be gotten, plopped down on her ample haunches and set about having a bath, like she had no idea what they were talking about.Â
By way of reply, Sephiroth nuzzled the hollow behind Rudeâs ear and then bit down on his warm, tawny skin, just hard enough to dent it, but not actually leave a mark.Â
âNo biting,â Rude scolded. âUse your words.â
âStarving,â Sephiroth groaned, against his neck. âFor real, this time. Iâve got mere seconds left to live.â
âTch,â Rude smirked. âIf you have energy to bitch, youâll survive till dinner.â
âItâs too late. Iâve died,â Sephiroth intoned, slumping heavily against him. âHave me buried at sea.â
âDinner will be ready in a minute. If you go set the table, we can start eating sooner.â
This incantation miraculously resurrected the recently deceased Sephiroth, who sprang back to life and hurried away, tripping over the cat in his haste.
âDamn it, Cloud, stop trying to kill me all the time,â he admonished the deeply offended furball, whoâd already had her nap and her bath interrupted by this dubious character, and was now being picked up and kissed on the head, of all insufferable indignities.
âI canât believe you named the cat Cloud,â Rude groused.Â
Sephiroth was the picture of innocence. âWhatâs wrong with Cloud? I think itâs a good name.â
âSeriously?â
âYes. Sheâs white and fluffy, like a cloud.â
Rude arched an eyebrow. âThen explain why the dog is named Zack.â
âHeâs named after the puppy I used to have, back in SOLDIER,â Sephiroth answered, with a completely straight face.Â
Rude snorted out a laugh, which naturally meant Sephiroth had won the interaction. âVery funny. Go set the table, ass.â
Sephiroth put the fuming cat down and went to do as he was told. Just as the last fork was being set on the corresponding napkin, the front door banged open, and a voice announced, âGuess whoâs here!â
Sephiroth cast a distasteful eye on the day-glow-red haired individual. âThe Association for Homosexual Fashion Disasters.â
âYouâre one to talk, Sephir-goth,â Reno retorted, taking the lollipop out of his mouth to gesture with it. âAre you seriously wearing leather pants and a band t-shirt to hang around the house?â
âThese are the only pants I have, that are not currently in the wash,â Sephiroth answered, with a haughty toss of his head.
âHey, wait a minuteâŚthatâs my shirt!â Reno accused. âItâs the tour edition you could only get at the shows! Take it off! Youâre gonna ruin it!â
Sephiroth looked down at his shrink-wrapped torso. âAh. I wondered why one of Rudeâs shirts would fit me so tightly. Since he isnât the size of a teenaged girl.â
âLook what you did! Your huge tits are stretching it all out! Mick Jaggerâs face looks like itâs melting! OrâŚwow, thatâs just how his face looks. Still, itâs mine! Give it back!â
âIf you care about a clothing item, you shouldnât leave it lying around in other peopleâs homes.âÂ
So saying, Sephiroth pulled the t-shirt off over his head, and held it out to Reno.
âWhat theâyou canât justânaked!â Reno sputtered, pointing the lollipop at him. âRude! Your boyfriend is stripping in the living room!â
âBusy, take pictures,â Rudeâs patently unconcerned voice called back, from the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Sephiroth had snatched the shirt away, just as Reno reached for it, and was now holding it high above his head, while the much smaller man tried in vain to jump up and grab it.
âWhy am I not surprised to find you two half-clothed and fighting, like a couple of children,â Tseng sighed, as he stepped in the front door, followed closely by Elena.Â
âLeave it to me, sir! Iâll defuse the situation!â Elena declared, reaching for her sidearm.
Tseng held up a hand to stop her. âWhen has your interference ever defused a situation? And I told you on the way here, no guns in the house.â
âRâright, sir. Sorry, sir,â Elena said sheepishly, withdrawing her hand from the concealed holster.Â
âWelcome, Tseng andâŚcolleague,â said Sephiroth, who had his hand on Renoâs head and was still keeping the t-shirt away from him. âPlease, make yourselves at home. Dinner is almost ready.â
âAnd colleague?â Elena pouted. âDo you even know my name?â
âHow rude of me. Of course I do. You areâŚuhâŚCissnei?â
âNo, Iâmââ She broke off and her shoulders slumped dejectedly, as Reno nearly expired laughing. âUgh, forget it. Enjoy your dinner, everyone. Iâll just wait in the car.âÂ
âAlright, thatâs enough,â Tseng announced, in that calm, paternal tone, that made people instinctively want to obey him. âReno, shut up. Elena, sit down. Sephiroth, give Reno his shirt and go put one on. Now.â
Looking like chastised school children, Reno stifled his laughter, Elena went and sat down on the sofa, and Sephiroth relinquished the shirt before vanishing upstairs.Â
âHey, at least wash it first! I donât want your stink all over it!â Reno shouted after him. Then he sniffed the shirt and his expression changed. âWhat the fuck, this is what you smell like?! What is that, cedar and sagebrush? AndâŚrain? Elena, smell this!â
âGross, Iâm not sniffing some guyâsâoh, holy shit that smells amazing! He should bottle this and sell it!â
âKeep that thing away from me,â Tseng warned, as Reno brandished the rumpled t-shirt and advanced upon him. âI already know how wonderful Sephiroth smells, I donât need a cat-hair covered reminder.â
âOh, there is cat hair all over it. Damn it, it got on my suit.â
At that moment, Rude stepped out of the kitchen, wiping his hands with a towel. âDinner. If youâre all finished sniffing my boyfriendâs dirty clothes, that is.â
âIf I could justâone more. Yes, all done,â Elena said, letting go of the t-shirt, which Reno was forcefully tugging away from her.Â
âThe food smells great, too, partner!â Reno grinned, which expression collapsed back into a scowl, as Sephiroth reappeared, wearing the exact same t-shirt as before, only several sizes larger. âIf you had Rudeâs the whole time, why were you wearing mine?!â
âI just found it, now. You whine a lot, for an adult man. Are you certain youâre not a teenaged girl?â
âWow,â said petite Elena, whose head wasnât even level with the huge former SOLDIERâs spectacular pectorals. âIâve never seen you with a shirt on, general. You look really nice.â
Sephiroth smiled. âThatâs very kind of you. Thank you, Cissnei.âÂ
âIâm notâugh, whatever. Youâre welcome. Letâs eat.â

Eden and Hayes' Cabin
Eden built this cabin (with very little help from Hayes) for the two to live in away from camp. It's on the main North island, a short walk from the shore by a lake. It looks very western in nature, appearing more like a cabin than the other shacks on the island. They have a makeshift backyard with a small garden (recent edition, Eden isn't very good at keeping the carrots and potatoes alive so far) and a firepit. The shed has various larger tools (axe, saw, shovel, etc.), the door is out back.
The kitchen is by the front entrance, really just consisting of a counter with three cabinets holding cooking instruments (skewers, tongs, a pot, a skillet) and Eden's carving tools (excluding the knives that look like weapons, Hayes moves those to the weapons cabinet). There's no electricity or running water, but they use the firepit out back to cook. There's a small hall table between the kitchen and living area, holding a battery-powered record player and vinyls they found in raids. The living space has a rug, an old couch, a coffee table and another hall table where Eden and Hayes keep their 'communal drugs' (Eden doesn't use often and Hayes prefers drinking) as well as extra weapons/ammo. Eden keeps the common spaces clean, doing a sweep of any messes as well as actually sweeping before she goes to bed.
Hayes' room is on the left, not pictured is how messy it is. The only furniture he has is his bed, with the few clothes he has scattered on the floor around it. When he finds things he wants to take back, they go on his window sill, with the little carved animals Eden makes for him.
Eden goes in the right room. She keeps it quite clean, except for the large pile of books on her nightstand. It's very plain, only having her bed, the nightstand and a pile of folded clothes in the corner. She keeps meaning to make a table/chest of drawers for her clothes, but hasn't quite gotten around to it. Her bed is always made, there's nothing on the floor that doesn't belong there.

Kaneki is my scrimbly scrimblo and he has an apartment now!
His apartment has 3 rooms - the kitchen/living area, his bedroom, and the bathroom!
The bathroom has a shower attached to a bathtub! He loves to take cold baths there in the summer while eating cucumber salad or ice cream from the tub! Itâs a very cramped space, but he kinda likes the cramped-ness.
The sink in there is also a pedestal sink with not a lot of space for extra stuff. It fits his soap and toothbrush only, but his toothbrush keeps falling into the sink in the morning
EVERYDAY HE COOKS HIMSELF AN EGG!!!!!! HE LIKES FRIED EGGS!!!!!!!! KANEKI has a fried egg in the morning on toast. Sometimes he is lazy and just makes instant ramen because frying an egg means washing a pan (4/7 days). He usually has some coffee with this or some grocery store chocolate milk if he has any
Kaneki goes to the fresh food market sometimes. On the days he goes he doesnât tend to do much else
The living room has a nice soft rug that he lays on sometimes. He only has a 2-seat lounge, cheap coffee table and small TV. He usually only has it on for background noise since complete silence makes him lonely
Kaneki sits on the floor in random places to read
KANEKI HAS LITTLE SLEEPS AND HE SLEEPS IN HIS BED!!!!!!!!!!!! WITH THE BLANKETS! SOMETIMES A FAN! SOMETIMES THE HEATER IS TURNED UP! KANEKI VALUES HIS COZINESS UNLESS HE DOESNT!!!
Sometimes Kaneki cannot sleep in his bed. Heâs had so many nightmares that he associates the place with being afraid, so he goes to sleep in the living room. He brings his blanket and curls up on the couch or just on his rug and tries to sleep there to avoid the scraping on the wall and terrible thoughts. This does not work all the time
His apartment has a little balcony that he likes to sit and look out from sometimes. On a good day, he goes there to eat breakfast. When it rains, he puts his plants out for a drink, and can enjoy a hot chocolate from inside while watching. He can dry his laundry there on a sunny day and it saves him paying and waiting for the dryer.
He has a very large monstera in his apartment that he found being given away for free, a money tree near the entrance and a lucky bamboo for his homework desk. He is very good at looking after his plants! The vibrant greens are good at cheering him up!

Blue Team Beach House: Living Room
The focal point of the ground floor is obviously the living room. The lower-profile back half of the house opens up to a high ceiling just past the kitchen. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide natural light during the day and the overhead fixture gives softer, diffused light during the night.
Despite being cozier and more casual than the kitchen, there's still plenty of space for them to move around. Again, the furniture is sturdy, made of wide planks reinforced with metal. Although rugs are uncommon in the rest of the house (because they can impede quick movement), comfort takes more precedence in areas where they spend most of their time.
The large planter in the corner brings in even more green, complementing the potted palms and wall garden in the kitchen. The storage cubbies on either side of the TV console provide space for extra throw pillows and blankets (and whatever else they want).
The designer put together the TV console and entertainment center to match some of the themes from the kitchen, but gave the Spartans free reign to select the rest of the furniture (aka: gave them some swatches and set them loose - turns out they do just fine when they have guidelines to work off of).
Almost everything on the first two floors is visible from the living room - both ground floor bedroom doors and up into the loft. In addition to natural light, the windows allow for clear sightlines outside and through the house. (Plus, with both sliding doors open, they can get a nice breeze coming through.)
They have a simple card table (with sturdy, high-backed chairs) in the corner, apart but not completely separate from the rest of the room. (Next to the card table is a guitar. I like to think they'd be good at it, or at least able to pick it up pretty quickly, but in the world of Sims, they're all just getting on each others' nerves because of how bad they are.)
Next to the entryway is a small shotgun-style bathroom, with access from inside the house and on the front porch. In addition to being the only bathroom not connected to a bedroom, it has a small shower, ideally for rinsing off sand after coming in from the beach.
#blue team beach house#i think the back deck/dock is next?#i love the living room#it feels so cozy and open at the same time#these pictures were obviously taken pre-lightning-strike fred#he's been charred for a couple days now#i still love how tiny cortana is compared to them

Rugs Extra Large: The Perfect Choice for Spacious Rooms
When decorating large spaces, rugs extra large are the go-to solution for creating cozy, inviting areas. These oversized rugs are perfect for defining zones in open layouts or adding a touch of luxury to expansive living rooms, dining rooms, or bedrooms.
The main advantage of extra-large rugs is their ability to ground a space. In oversized rooms, smaller rugs can appear lost or ineffective, while an extra-large rug ensures a cohesive look. These rugs are particularly beneficial in open-concept homes, where they can delineate specific areas like the living room, dining space, or home office.
When selecting a rug, consider the furniture placement. Ideally, all furniture legs should rest on the rug, or at least the front legs, to create a unified arrangement. This approach enhances the room's visual flow and ensures the rug complements your design.
Extra-large rugs also excel in showcasing bold patterns and intricate designs. Whether you prefer a traditional Persian motif or a modern abstract pattern, the larger surface area allows the design to shine, making a statement in your room.
Finally, durability is crucial when choosing an oversized rug. Look for high-quality materials like wool or durable synthetics that can handle foot traffic and maintain their appearance over time. With the right care, an extra-large rug can be a timeless addition to your home, blending practicality with style.

Smart Interior Design Tips for Tiny Homes
Living in a tiny home is no longer just a necessity; itâs a lifestyle. While the idea of a compact space may seem challenging, it can also be a creative playground for designing a functional and stylish living area. Whether youâre seeking small space decorating ideas or interior design solutions tailored for tiny homes, the possibilities are endless. By applying clever strategies like incorporating space-saving furniture and optimizing layouts, even the smallest homes can feel expansive.
The Art of Designing for Small Spaces
1. Start with Space-Saving Furniture
In a small home, every piece of furniture needs to work harder. Multifunctional furniture for small spaces, such as a sofa that doubles as a guest bed or a foldable dining table, is a game-changer. For instance, Sarah from New York used a foldable dining table in her studio apartment. When not in use, the table folded into the wall, giving her more space for daily activities while serving as a decorative chalkboard.
2. Maximize Vertical Space
When floor space is limited, look upwards. Adding shelves, hanging racks, or vertical stripes can transform walls into practical storage and decorative elements. A family in Amsterdam used magnetic strips to store knives and hanging racks for pans in their small kitchen. This made the space not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing.
3. Clever Storage Hacks
Creative storage solutions for small spaces are essential. Think hidden compartments under beds, ottomans with built-in storage, or even benches with hollow interiors. In Tokyo, a compact living room featured a sofa with hidden storage, keeping blankets and extra pillows neatly out of sight.
4. Open Layouts with Defined Zones
One of the most effective tiny house layout tips is creating defined zones within an open plan. This can be done with rugs, lighting, or furniture arrangement. For example, a Cape Town decorator extended a tiny homeâs living area onto a small deck, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection with foldable furniture and a retractable awning.
Color and Lighting Transformations
1. Use Light Colors and Reflective Surfaces
Painting your tiny home in light, neutral tones can make it feel larger. Mirrors are another fantastic trick, as they reflect natural light and give the illusion of depth. A London couple painted their walls pastel and placed a large mirror opposite the window, making their small living room feel spacious and airy.
2. Add Drama with Accent Walls
While light colors are excellent for most walls, painting one wall in a darker tone can create depth and intrigue. Enhance the look by hanging artwork or creating a gallery wall to divert attention from the roomâs size.
Design Details That Make a Big Difference
1. Minimalist Design with a Personal Touch
Minimalist design for small spaces doesnât mean sacrificing personality. Use curated decor items, like books, plants, and artwork, to express yourself without overcrowding the space. Incorporate compact home design solutions, such as a wall-mounted desk for a home office, as seen in Bangalore, India.
2. Efficient Kitchens and Dining Areas
Corners are often overlooked but are valuable in small interiors. Consider adding a banquet seating arrangement in your kitchen. It saves space, doubles as storage, and can serve as a cozy reading nook.
Real-Life Applications of Small-Space Solutions
1. Multifunctional Living Rooms
In Tokyo, multifunctional furniture saved the day. A compact sofa with hidden storage allowed a young couple to entertain guests while keeping their space clutter-free.
2. Tiny Home Organization
A freelance artist in Cape Town used wall hooks and baskets to organize art supplies in her small studio. This practical yet decorative approach kept her creative space functional.
3. Tiny Home Efficiency in Action
An interior design firm in Bangalore helped transform a familyâs 500-square-foot apartment into an efficient living space by adding space-saving furniture, light colors, and smart storage solutions.
Bringing It All Together
Designing for a tiny home is a rewarding challenge. By blending style with practicality, you can create a space that reflects your personality while addressing the constraints of a small footprint. Whether youâre seeking inspiration for small living room design, space-saving furniture, or creative storage solutions, let your imagination take the lead.
Are you ready to reimagine your small home? Consult an interior architecture company or collaborate with an interior design firm to bring your vision to life. With innovative ideas and professional expertise, your tiny home can become a dream space, perfectly suited to your lifestyle.

How to Prepare Your Home for Window Replacement in Birmingham
Window replacement is a significant home improvement project that can bring both aesthetic and functional benefits, including increased energy efficiency, improved curb appeal, and better security. However, before the work begins, itâs essential to properly prepare your home to ensure the process goes smoothly. Whether youâre upgrading your windows for energy savings, noise reduction, or a fresh look, proper preparation can help avoid delays and damage during the installation.
At Vinyl Window Solutions, we understand how important it is to prepare your home effectively for window replacement. In this guide, weâll walk you through the essential steps you should take to ensure that your window replacement project in Birmingham goes as efficiently as possible.
1. Clear the Area Around Your Windows
The first step in preparing your home for window replacement in Birmingham is to clear the area around the windows that will be replaced. This is crucial for several reasons:
Safety: The installers will need space to work and will be moving ladders and tools around. By clearing the area, you reduce the risk of accidents or damage to furniture and belongings.
Accessibility: The easier it is for the installers to access the windows, the faster and smoother the process will be. This includes both the interior and exterior of the windows.
Avoiding Damage: Any valuable furniture, artwork, or electronics near the windows can be vulnerable to dust, debris, or accidental damage during the replacement process.
Steps to take:
Move furniture, rugs, and other items at least 3 feet away from each window.
Remove any curtains, blinds, or window treatments.
Take down any wall hangings or decorations near the windows.
2. Protect Your Floors and Surfaces
During the window replacement process, dust and debris are inevitable. To prevent dirt from spreading throughout your home and to protect your floors and surfaces, take extra precautions.
Steps to take:
Lay down protective coverings: Use drop cloths, plastic sheets, or old towels to cover your floors and any furniture that canât be moved.
Seal off rooms: Close off doors to rooms that are not being worked on to keep dust confined to the areas around the window installations.
Cover large furniture: If moving large furniture isnât an option, cover it with a tarp or plastic to shield it from dust.
3. Secure Your Pets and Children
The window replacement process can be noisy and disruptive, which can be stressful for pets and young children. To ensure everyoneâs safety and comfort, itâs best to keep them in a secure area away from the work site.
Steps to take:
Create a safe space: Set up a safe, quiet area where pets and children can stay during the installation process. This could be a room thatâs unaffected by the work or even outside if the weather permits.
Consider daycare or pet care: If the window replacement is extensive and will take a full day or more, consider sending children to school or using pet care services to keep them away from the noise and activity.
4. Inform Your Neighbors
If you live in a neighborhood where homes are close together, itâs courteous to inform your neighbors about the window replacement project in advance. Window replacement can be noisy, especially when the old windows are removed and new ones are installed.
Steps to take:
Notify neighbors: Give your neighbors a heads-up about the project, particularly if itâs going to take several days or if the work will be loud. This shows consideration and may help them plan around the disruption.
Consider scheduling: If you live in a densely populated area or close to neighbors, try to schedule the replacement during hours when noise will be less disruptive, like mid-morning to mid-afternoon.
5. Prepare for Temporary Loss of Heating or Cooling
During the window replacement process, there may be a brief period when your home will be exposed to the outside elements. This could result in some temperature fluctuations inside your home. Depending on the weather and the time of year, it may be a good idea to prepare for temporary loss of heating or cooling.
Steps to take:
Adjust your thermostat: If itâs winter, increase the thermostat slightly to counteract any drafts. In the summer, consider running your air conditioner or using fans to maintain comfort.
Dress appropriately: If you anticipate any cold or hot air entering your home, wear layers or keep blankets nearby to stay comfortable.
6. Ensure Accessibility for the Installation Crew
On the day of the window replacement, ensure that the installation crew has clear access to your home. If there are any special instructions, such as where to park or how to access the property, be sure to communicate this in advance.
Steps to take:
Provide parking details: If you live in an area with limited parking or street access, make sure the installation crew has a clear place to park close to your home.
Unlock gates and doors: If your property has gates or fences, unlock them so that the crew can access the work areas easily. Make sure any paths or walkways to the windows are clear of obstructions.
7. Check for Local Regulations or HOA Restrictions
If you live in a community with a homeowners association (HOA) or in an area with specific building regulations, itâs important to ensure that your window replacement in Birmingham project complies with local codes and HOA rules. In Birmingham, there may be restrictions on the types of windows you can install or guidelines on the times of day when construction can occur.
Steps to take:
Review HOA guidelines: If you live in an HOA-managed community, check with your association about any rules for window replacements, including style, color, or installation hours.
Obtain permits if necessary: Some window replacements may require a permit, depending on the scope of the project. Ensure that the company you hire handles permits or advises you on the necessary steps.
8. Prepare to Review the Installation Process
Lastly, itâs important to be involved during the installation process to ensure everything goes smoothly. While the professionals handle the technical aspects, you should feel comfortable asking questions and reviewing the process to ensure it aligns with your expectations.
Steps to take:
Ask questions: Donât hesitate to ask the installation crew about the process, timeline, or specific details about your new windows.
Inspect the work: Once the installation is complete, inspect the windows to ensure that theyâre properly installed, sealed, and functioning as expected. If you notice any issues, address them with the crew immediately.
Conclusion
Preparing your home for window replacement in Birmingham is crucial for a smooth and efficient project. By clearing the area, protecting your homeâs surfaces, securing pets and children, and communicating with your neighbors, youâll create an environment where the window replacement team can work effectively, and the process will be more comfortable for everyone involved.
