One of the challenges we face living in a city like Los Angeles is that we pay a lot for rent for very minimal space. The trick is to capitalize on the area we are working with through manipulation and creativity. Here are some quick and easy tips to make your place appear bigger then it is.

1. Paint Your Walls

Would You Rather? Decorating Naked

Would You Rather Paint Your Bathroom Naked With Bruce Vilanch Or Wallpaper Your Bathroom Naked With Precious?

The Case for Bruce Vilanch: With a wardrobe of over 5,000 t-shirts, we could probably save some money by using them as tarps while painting, so choosing him could come with some added benefits. However, painting is extremely tough and tiresome, and if you parlay that with the image of him shouting, "X gets a Square" while naked in my bathroom, it makes him a tough choice. On the other hand, wallpaper has become as trendy as Precious, and is much easier to do than before. Although the bathroom is going to be a tough squeeze for the two of us, wallpapering is best to do in a smaller space. So Precious, as your girl Mariah Carey would say, "Touch My Body" cause I'm choosing you! I'm looking forward to seeing how the wallpaper comes out.

So if you agree, here's a wallpaper store in the Valley that has thousands of choices and is a total hidden gem. We promise that it's worth the drive to the Valley.
