Need Help Maximizing Space in a Small Apartment
Hi everyone! I recently moved into a small apartment around 500 sq. ft, and I'm struggling to make the space feel open and functional. Does anyone have recommendations for furniture, storage solutions, or design tricks that make small spaces look bigger? I'd love to see examples or hear about your experiences!
I tried rearranging my living room furniture to create a more open and inviting space. I expected the room to feel more spacious and well-organized, but instead, it still feels a bit cramped. I was hoping for a better flow and a visually balanced design, but something seems off. Any suggestions on how to improve the layout or choose better furniture arrangements?

Wall-mounted storage and stackable shelves can help you maximize your space. You can also create the illlusion of more space by hanging mirrors up and decorating your space in light, muted tones. Ceiling-height curtains can give your apartment the illusion of being taller, and if they're sheer, they'll also filter in more light, which can help your apartment feel more open and breathable.

Help! What's the best way to get rid of ants?
I’m going nuts here. Every morning I wake up and find dozens of ants wandering around in my kitchen and living room. It doesn’t seem to matter how many traps I set out or how deep I clean my home to get rid of food scraps or whatever the ants seem to be after. Does sugar water get rid of ants? I feel like I heard something like that somewhere but I have no clue if any of that stuff actually works. What will actually solve this problem? I don’t even hate ants like that, but leave my living space alone, ya know?

I truly, deeply hate to say it...but I'm afriad that I have bed bugs. I haven't found a beg bug YET, but I've been waking up itchy all week.

How do I get rid of fleas for good?
I'm mortified to be here asking this but I'm desperate at this point: I have fleas in my house and I dont' know how to get rid of them. They seem to really like my dog (mostly indoor dog but we use flea and tick meds) and the couch. I wouldn't say it's an infestation just yet, but it's been like this for months and nothing I do is keeping them away! What should I do/what am I doing wrong?
