Since you&#8217;re renting, it can be hard to infuse your own personal touch and create that homey feel without making serious changes to your apartment or house that your landlord may or may not love.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Ikea Hack includes three really easy ways to bring the rustic, Anthropologie or Restoration Hardware feel into your rental in non-permanent ways that you can take with you when you go:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #2a6edb;\">Twine-wrapped hardware. <\/span>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ilovethatjunk.com\/2012\/08\/twine-wrapped-cabinet-hardware-house.html\">I Love That Junk<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #808080;\">You&#8217;ll need:<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ikea.com\/ca\/en\/catalog\/products\/70222559\/\">Faglavik black drawer handles<\/a> \u2013 $6.99\/2 pack<\/li>\n<li>Twine<\/li>\n<li>Glue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #808080;\">How to do it:<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Apply glue to the &#8220;pull&#8221; part of the handle where you&#8217;ll want the twine. Attach the end of the twine to one end of the &#8220;pull&#8221; section, then wrap it carefully until you get to the top. Stop there or go for another layer of twine after adding more glue. Secure the other end of the twine with more glue. So ridiculously easy.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #2a6edb;\">Nautical lamp.<\/span> Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amyallender.com\/2013\/04\/08\/diy-nautical-lamp-make-over\/\">Amy Allender<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #808080;\">You&#8217;ll need:<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Any really basic lamp base and shade<\/li>\n<li>Manila rope<\/li>\n<li>Glue or hot glue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #808080;\">How to do it:<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Use the glue to attach one end of the rope to the bottom of the base of the lamp, then wrap the entire base carefully and tightly with the rope. Attach the other end at the top of the base using glue again. Seriously, that is it.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #2a6edb;\">Twig tealight holders. <\/span>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com\/originals\/36\/79\/9a\/36799a5092cd103e930ac87863d04c17.jpg\">Pinterest<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #808080;\">You&#8217;ll need:<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ikea.com\/ca\/en\/catalog\/products\/36418000\/\">Galej tealight holders<\/a> \u2013 $1.99\/4 pack<\/li>\n<li>Some skinny twigs, as straight as possible<\/li>\n<li>Glue or hot glue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #808080;\">How to do it:<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Probably doesn&#8217;t require much explanation, but basically attach the twigs as closely as you can around the candle holders using the glue.
