Kyle Schuneman knows that a paper-thin wallet and four plain walls don’t have to stand between you and your perfect home. Kyle, 26, is a decorating prodigy who has designed first apartments for friends, clients, and himself, braving logic-defying floor plans, space-challenged rooms, and picky landlords. In \u003ci\u003eThe First Apartment Book,\u003c\/i\u003e Kyle shares brilliant design ideas and thirty simple DIY projects that show how anyone can infuse a first home with personality—whether you’re renting, moving in with a roommate or significant other for the first time, or are a newly minted owner eager to put your stamp on your place. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe First Apartment Book\u003c\/i\u003e is both a tour of amazing photographs from ten real homes across the country and a hardworking resource of great ideas. Kyle explains how each of the featured apartments achieves the perfect balance between cool design and the homeowner’s lifestyle, with a sprinkling of influences from the resident’s city thrown in. \u003cbr\u003e Kyle scours flea markets for functional pieces with personality and incorporates Pollock-inspired art and touches of taxicab yellow to make a small studio in New York City function as four different yet coherent “rooms.” Graffiti-like dip-dye curtains and a skateboard table reflect a Seattle renter’s hip sensibility. In Cleveland, Kyle creates a modern preppy space for a plaid-loving local using subdued colors and careful pattern mixing. A couple’s salon-style hanging of rock posters in Nashville feels utterly unique, and Kyle’s clever ideas for storing to store their musical instruments keep the duo sane. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShort on time and long on style, the thirty DIY projects include no-sew pillows, yarn-wrapped picture frames, and a dresser update using a little glue and fabric. Full of bold, vibrant photos and hundreds of big ideas for small spaces, \u003ci\u003eThe First Apartment Book\u003c\/i\u003e proves that no matter what your landlord, your floor plan, or your wallet says, there are no limits on how cool your first apartment can be. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clarkson Potter\/Ten Speed","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47012185702640,"sku":"9780307952905","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780307952905_p0.jpg?v=1763673494","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780307952905","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
