Thanks jasimar. Ultra-charming space, huh? Indeed it is. It will be a challenge to blend my modern sensibilities with this gorgeous Victorian space.

Wowsers, that's some gorgeous woodwork you've got there!

I totally agree... after all, you've got to live there, so you might as well make it your own. It helps to have a landlord who is willing to let you put your stamp on the place.

I think the limit to the work I would do on somewhere I don't own is dependent on how long I plan to live there. If I'm only going to last the one year of the lease, then maybe just paint the walls. But if, over time, I come to the realization that I'm comfortable enough to stay much longer, then I will begin to consider other, more intensive changes. Whether you own the building or not, it is your home, and you should respect it and try to nurture it.
Thanks Bruno!

Congrats Gradon! Your new place looks sweet, and I can just imagine how much cooler it'll look with some color on the walls. Question: how do you feel (generally) about putting work into a place you don't own? Is there a limit to what you'll do to improve it?
