Great Living Room Decor Tips!

Having a comfortable, cozy living room is absolutely vital for living in an apartment. Your living room is often the first room that visitors see, and it’s often where you get together to spend time in groups and do some fun socializing. Keeping your apartment well-decorated and giving off a fun and friendly vibe is extremely important for happy times.

So what can you do to keep your living room looking pleasant and inviting? We’ve got a few tips for you to consider if you’re going to invest in doing some decorating:

• Getting made-to-fit curtains for your windows is a great way to add flavor to the room
• Use a combination of lighting sources to keep the mood warm
• Magazines are a great way to find ideas for color and mood
• Consider what you like best, don’t worry about what your friends would like; it’s your apartment, not theirs

For more on these tips and other helpful hints for decorating your living room, go visit ApartmentIdeas.com to see what else you can do to add a little spice to your living room.

Gas is definitely getting too expensive these days. With rising fuel costs, plenty of Anaheim citizens are looking for new ways to save money on gas. Riding a bike or walking works well when you live close to your job, but it gets unpractical past a certain distance. However, if you’re looking for a different transportation solution, consider using the Metrolink.

For residents at The Crossing, riding Metrolink is especially convenient since there’s a station just a block away from our building. Wherever you work in the city, there’s likely a Metrolink station nearby, and since there’s one here at The Crossing as well you could ride it to work everyday and save a little bit on gas money. Not only that, but you’ll be helping the environment a little by using public transportation and not pumping more pollutants into the air. That definitely makes it worth considering.

Try it out for one week and see how you like it! You never know, you might end up making it a regular routine. If you already regularly ride Metrolink, leave a comment with some tips and helpful hints for first-time riders who will be getting to know the system!

Hello Crossing Residents,

I’m a resident here & am reaching out for any support we can get. My younger brothers son, named Angel, who is just 3, was diagnosed on 3-26-12 with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at Miller Children’s Hospital in Long Beach, Ca.

The Ronald McDonald House have been simply amazing, they took them in without question, knowing that they can not afford the donation they ask for while staying there. We want to help pay them back for being so supportive and understanding. They help tons and tons of families and children who are seriously ill. And without donations they wouldn’t be able to provide this.

So we are doing the WALK FOR KIDS! I have formed a team, our name is ANGEL’S GUARDIANS. We have almost met our fundraising goal! We are at $425 with our goal being $500. Please Join us in supporting a great cause. All donations go straight to The Ronald McDonald House Long Beach & are tax deductible!

Please come join us this Sunday April 1 @ 8:00am Its a 5K walk/run. Starting at Shoreline Park in Long Beach, Ca. You can register through the link, there is also an option to be a virtual walker if you cant make it!!!

Even if you donate $1, just one!!! it will help soo much, please consider.

Thank you so much for your time
