Top Apartment Finds
In the Living Room
Message centers—These inexpensive wall-hangings are essentially the headquarters for your apartment and a major headache-saver when you’ve got roommates. They include a chalk- or dry erase board for keeping shopping lists and records of who owes what, hooks for keys and a tack board for posting important notes.
Roomba vacuum—Forget wasting all that time on vacuuming. Let a robotic machine do it for you! You can even let the vacuum run when you’re away from home. Prices vary by retailer and model.
Digital Photo Frame—This frame allows you to upload photos from your camera right into the frame. You’ll never have to print a picture again! Around $200.
Digital Plant—If you can’t keep your real plants alive, try a digital one. They really do grow with the loving care of their (slightly geeky) owners. Visit http://www.geeks.com/ to order yours for $3.99.
Television Wall Mount—You don’t have to have a flat-screen television to keep your tube up and out of the way. Wall mounts are a bit of a hassle to install but can really open up a small living space.
