AMLI Blog | Living Apartment Life

Our residents submitted over 680 photos showing how their pets make AMLI home for the national AMLI Paw-parazzi Pet Photo contest.

You can see the gallery of submissions here if you’re curious or just need a smile. Our panel of judges, made up of AMLI Residential representatives, selected the best, eligible entries based on each photo’s creativity and how well their AMLI apartment community was featured. Photos of pets could be anything from […]

On average, a person will sleep for 229,961 hours in their lifetime. Needless to say, we spend a lot of our lives sleeping. So ideally we should have a mattress that’s comfortable and a bed frame that’s sturdy. That could be expensive, but it doesn’t have to be when you build your own bed frame like our next (and final) My AMLI DIY contest winners, Kelsey and Talon. Not only is their bed frame sturdy, but it’s also a functional piece of furniture with extra storage in the foot board…and it’s gorgeous! We asked Kelsey and Talon more about their project […]

How to maximize space without sacrificing personal style is the dilemma of most apartment dwellers. And while there are plenty of design tricks to make a room feel larger, what if you want more than just the illusion of space? What if you really want more space? By using less furniture, you can free up square footage in any room, and it’s possible to do if said furniture serve multiple functions. Our resident and grand prize winner of the My AMLI DIY contest, Michael Johnson, made the mother of all multi-functional furniture pieces: A gorgeous entertainment center. Not only does it […]

When you live in an apartment, it can be a struggle to find enough space to have your own garden. So how can you maximize space and grow your own food and herbs? One of our grand prize winners of the My AMLI DIY contest, Chris, came up with a great idea: Use containers and a pallet. His DIY project is functional, doesn’t take up a lot of space, and looks amazing. We asked Chris to tell us more about his project and found out everything from his inspiration, design style, and advice he has for other DIYers.

We love our pets. That goes without saying. But it’s not always easy to incorporate their stuff into our homes stylishly, which is why we really appreciate the DIY project we’re spotlighting this month. If you’ve ever wanted a way to make those pet unattractive food and water bowls fit seamlessly into your decor, our My AMLI DIY contest regional winner, Jeremy, has the perfect solution. And bonus: You’ll gain some much needed storage to stash your furry friend’s treats and toys. Here’s what he had to say.

Here’s what she had to say.
