Now I know that I personally take care of my kitchen the most. To me it is the heart of the home and every meal I make has a story or has a life to bring to whomever consumes it. I'm not very good at decorating the rest of my house though, but I am slowly coming around to it. I think my to biggest discoveries at the moment are jars and uses of magazines. Jars can be reused for everything from preserves to a plants new home. Magazines on the other hand have made me realize that there is a whole new other dimension on that one. I just made a few month back a mirror with rolled magazine sheets around it. It really brought life to our one lifeless living room. I got the idea from http://bluevelvetchair.blogspot.com/2011/11/tutorial-recycled-magazines-as-mirror.html. I didn't use quite as many as she did and mine were fatter, but I love it anyway. Another great blog that has wonderful ideas is http://bluevelvetchair.blogspot.com/2011/11/tutorial-recycled-magazines-as-mirror.html. This is where I got the idea to make frames out of magazines. It might not be every ones cup of tea, but I liked them. 
The next things that I wanted to conquer was a coffee table. I saw this table that you could make out of pallets and I decided that was something I was going to do. This blog gave me the idea http://www.thewonderforest.com/2011/09/diy-rustic-pallet-coffee-table.html. I only used one pallet though, which still came out fine. The worst part about this project was taking the pallet apart, but when all said in done it was worth it. Our bedroom still needs alot of work and so does the bathroom, but all in good time I guess. One thing that I managed to do though was make a simple headboard above our bed so it wasn't just plain wall anymore. This blog http://theberry.com/2011/11/04/daily-awww-love-is-all-around-40-photos/ shows theirs in frames, but I didn't do mine that way. I printed all the pictures and then pasted them into a heart.
Another thing that is developing more then the rest of our apartment is the outside. I just bought a lemon tree and in February I bought a cyclamen so I could put it in my childhood chair. So far the cyclamen is surviving, but I wasn't a green thumb when I started this journey and didn't know the specifics of such a plant. I also love hummingbird feeders and thought it would be cool to make my own. I made it out of an old hot sauce bottle. It would probably be fine without the feeding tube because it had a little lid with a hole that doesn't allow much out, but to be on the safe side I bought one just in case. Another weakness of ours is wind chime's. Mostly because of the story behind it that makes them so special.
