Pet-Proofing Your RPM Apartment: Tips for a Safe and Happy Home

Hey pet lovers! At RPM Living, we know that your furry friends are family, and keeping them safe and happy in your apartment is a top priority. Whether you have a playful pup, a curious kitty, or any other adorable animal companion, we’ve got you covered with our top tips for pet-proofing your apartment. Let’s dive in and make your home a pet paradise!

Keep Hazardous Items Out of Reach

Pets are naturally curious, and they love to explore. Make sure to keep any hazardous items, such as cleaning supplies, medications, and certain foods, are well out of reach. Store these items in cabinets with childproof locks or on high shelves. Remember, what’s safe for humans can be dangerous for pets.

Secure Trash Cans

Trash cans can be a treasure trove for pets, but they can also be dangerous. Invest in a trash can with a secure lid to keep your furry friend from getting into harmful leftovers or sharp objects. Consider placing the trash can in a cabinet or pantry to keep it completely out of reach.

Hide Electrical Cords

Electrical cords are irresistible to many pets, especially teething puppies and curious cats. To prevent chewing and potential shocks, hide cords behind furniture, use cord protectors, or secure them with cable organizers. You can also use pet-safe bitter sprays to deter chewing.

Choose Pet-Friendly Furniture and Fabrics

When it comes to furniture, choose pieces that can withstand pet hair, claws, and the occasional accident. Leather and microfiber are great options because they’re durable and easy to clean. For added protection, use washable slipcovers or pet blankets to keep your furniture looking fresh.

Create a Pet-Safe Zone

Designate a specific area in your apartment as a pet-safe zone where your furry friend can relax and play without getting into trouble. Fill it with their favorite toys, a comfy bed, and maybe even a pet gate to keep them contained when you’re not home. This gives your pet a safe space and helps keep the rest of your apartment in order.

Watch Out for Small Objects

Pets love to bat around and chew on small objects, which can be choking hazards. Keep items like coins, buttons, jewelry, and small toys out of reach. Regularly check under furniture and in other hiding spots where these items might end up.

Protect Your Plants

Many common household plants are toxic to pets. Make sure to research any plants you have or plan to bring into your apartment. Keep toxic plants out of reach or opt for pet-friendly alternatives like spider plants, Boston ferns, or succulents. Your pet and your greenery can coexist peacefully with a little planning!

Use Pet Gates and Barriers

Pet gates and barriers are excellent for keeping pets out of certain areas, like the kitchen or a home office. They’re easy to install and can be a lifesaver in managing your pet’s movements around the apartment - and most are renter-friendly! Plus, they’re great for creating boundaries and teaching your pet about off-limit areas.

Secure Windows and Balconies

If you live in an apartment with windows or a balcony, ensure they are secure. Consider using pet-safe, renter-friendly netting or barriers on balconies to prevent any accidental falls. Cats and small dogs can be especially adventurous, so take extra precautions.

Provide Plenty of Entertainment

A bored pet can quickly become a mischievous pet. Keep your furry friend entertained with plenty of toys, scratching posts, and interactive activities. Puzzle toys and treat dispensers are great for keeping their minds engaged. Regular playtime and exercise are key to a happy and well-behaved pet.

Regular Maintenance and Check-Ups

Finally, regular maintenance and check-ups are essential. Keep your pet’s nails trimmed to prevent damage to floors and furniture. Schedule regular vet visits to ensure your pet is healthy and up-to-date on vaccinations. A healthy pet is a happy pet!

Pet-proofing your apartment doesn’t have to be a daunting task. With these tips, you can create a safe, happy, and harmonious home for you and your furry friend. At RPM Living, we believe that pets are part of the family, and we’re here to help you make your apartment the perfect place for everyone. Happy pet-proofing!

The Ultimate Guide to Stress-Free Moving

Moving can be a daunting task, but with a little planning and some handy tips, you can make it a stress-free experience. We've got you covered with our top tips to ensure a smooth and easy move into an RPM apartment. Let’s get started!

Start Early and Stay Organized

First things first, start planning your move as early as possible. Create a moving checklist to keep track of tasks and set deadlines. Breaking down the process into manageable steps makes it less overwhelming. Trust us, your future self will thank you!

Declutter Before You Pack

Moving is the perfect time to declutter. Go through your belongings and decide what to keep, donate, or toss. This not only reduces the amount of stuff you need to pack but also makes unpacking easier. Plus, a fresh start in your new home feels amazing without unnecessary clutter.

Gather Packing Supplies

Stock up on packing supplies like boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and markers. Having everything you need on hand will save you from last-minute runs to the store. Pro tip: Use small boxes for heavy items like books and larger boxes for lighter items like linens.

Pack Room by Room

To stay organized, pack one room at a time. Label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This makes unpacking a breeze and helps movers know where to place each box in your new home. Don’t forget to pack a “first-night” box with essentials like toiletries, clothes, and important documents.

Keep Essentials Handy

Pack a separate bag with essentials you’ll need immediately, such as medications, chargers, snacks, and a change of clothes. This way, you won’t have to dig through boxes for the things you need right away.

Use What You Have

Save money and packing materials by using items you already have. Suitcases, laundry baskets, and even hampers can be used to transport belongings. Towels and blankets make great padding for fragile items.

Hire Movers or Recruit Friends

Decide whether you want to hire professional movers or enlist the help of friends and family. If you go the DIY route, make sure to have plenty of snacks and drinks on hand to keep your helpers happy. If hiring movers, book them well in advance and check reviews to ensure they’re reliable.

Take Breaks and Stay Hydrated

Moving is hard work, so remember to take breaks and stay hydrated. Moving day can be long and tiring, but regular breaks will keep your energy up and stress levels down.

Unpack Strategically

Once you’ve arrived at your new home, start by unpacking the essentials. Focus on one room at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Setting up your bedroom and bathroom first can make your new place feel more like home right away.

Make it Fun

Turn on your favorite music, order some takeout, and make unpacking a fun experience. Celebrate the small victories along the way, like setting up your living room or organizing your kitchen.

Moving doesn’t have to be a stressful ordeal. With a bit of preparation and a positive attitude, you can turn moving day into an exciting new adventure. At RPM Living, we’re here to make your transition as smooth as possible. So, follow these tips, take a deep breath, and enjoy the journey to your new home. You’ve got this!

Renting vs. Buying: The Smart Choice for Your Austin Lifestyle

Are you torn between renting vs buying your next home in Austin, TX? It's a common dilemma, especially in a city as vibrant and dynamic as ours. But fear not, because we're here to shed some light on why renting might just be the perfect fit for your lifestyle.

Flexibility

One of the most significant advantages of renting is the flexibility it offers. Whether you're new to Austin and still exploring your options or simply prefer the freedom to move without being tied down, renting provides the flexibility you need. Avendale at The Colony, nestled in a serene setting with easy access to major highways and the vibrant downtown scene, offers the flexibility to live life on your terms. With spacious floor plans and top-notch amenities, it's the perfect place to call home without the long-term commitment.

Maintenance-Free Living

Say goodbye to the hassles of homeownership and hello to maintenance-free living. When you rent, you're not responsible for costly repairs or upkeep. At Medina Highlands, conveniently located near shopping, dining, and entertainment options, you can relax and enjoy life while the dedicated maintenance team takes care of the rest. From landscaping to appliance repairs, renting means peace of mind knowing that any issues will be promptly addressed, allowing you to focus on what matters most.

Affordability

While buying a home may seem like a sound investment, the upfront costs and ongoing expenses can add up quickly. Renting, on the other hand, often offers more affordability and flexibility, especially in a competitive market like Austin. Citizen House Pflugerville, with its modern apartments and resort-style amenities, provides an affordable option for those seeking the perfect balance of comfort and convenience. 

 

Plus, with no property taxes or homeowners insurance to worry about, renting allows you to allocate your funds towards other priorities, whether it's exploring Austin's renowned live music scene or indulging in its culinary delights.

Access to Amenities

From swimming pools to fitness centers, renting often comes with access to a wide range of amenities that might be out of reach for many homeowners. Avendale at The Colony boasts a wealth of amenities, including a sparkling pool, outdoor lounge areas, and a state-of-the-art fitness center, making it easy to stay active and entertained without ever leaving home. 

 

With so much to offer right at your doorstep, renting allows you to enjoy the best that Austin has to offer without breaking the bank.

 

To wrap things up, while the decision to rent or buy ultimately depends on your individual circumstances and long-term goals, renting offers a plethora of benefits that are hard to ignore. 

 

Whether you're drawn to the flexibility, affordability, or convenience of renting, RPM Living's properties in Austin, including Avendale at The Colony, Medina Highlands, and Citizen House Pflugerville, provide the perfect opportunity to embrace the rental lifestyle and make the most of everything this vibrant city has to offer.

Zen Your Space: A Beginner's Guide to Feng Shui Your Apartment

Welcome to the art of Feng Shui—a harmonious blend of energy and aesthetics that can transform your apartment into a sanctuary of balance and tranquility! At RPM Living, we believe that creating a peaceful living environment is essential for overall well-being.

Clear the Clutter

Bid farewell to chaos and welcome in serenity by decluttering your space. Feng Shui teaches us that clutter obstructs the flow of energy, so clear out any unnecessary items to create a sense of spaciousness and calm.

Let There Be Light

Illuminate your apartment with natural light and soft, ambient lighting. Open your curtains during the day to invite positive energy, and add lamps or candles to create a warm and inviting atmosphere come evening.

Balance Yin and Yang

Achieve harmony by balancing the contrasting forces of Yin (passive) and Yang (active). Incorporate a mix of soft textures and vibrant colors to create a sense of equilibrium throughout your space.

Maximize Space

Make the most of your apartment's layout by arranging furniture in a way that promotes the free flow of energy. Avoid blocking pathways and ensure that each room feels open and inviting.

Nature's Touch

Invite nature indoors with plants and greenery. Not only do plants purify the air and add visual interest, but they also symbolize growth and vitality—key principles of Feng Shui.

Last-Minute Costume Ideas To Create At Your RPM Luxury Apartment

Spooky season is officially upon us, and the countdown to Halloween is in full swing! If you’ve maaayyyybbbeeeee procrastinated on your costume this year, don’t worry - you aren’t the only one! Luckily, we've got you covered with some last-minute Halloween costume ideas that will ensure you're the life of the party in and out of your RPM luxury apartment.

 

Ghostly Glamour

Turn a plain white bedsheet into a stunning ghostly gown. Accessorize with statement jewelry, dramatic makeup, and a tiara to become a glamorous ghost that will haunt the halls of your RPM Luxury Apartment in style.

DIY Superhero

Unleash your inner superhero by crafting a costume from household items. A bedsheet can transform into a cape, and cardboard boxes can become your superhero emblem. 

Classic Witch or Wizard

A witch or wizard costume is always a hit - you literally can’t go wrong with this one. Raid your closet for dark clothing, add a pointed hat (or craft one from black construction paper if necessary), and complete the look with a broomstick. Your RPM Luxury Apartment could even be your coven's perfect meeting place!

Movie Character Mashup

Combine elements from your favorite movie characters to create a unique costume. For example, mix Harry Potter's glasses with a Jedi robe – the possibilities are endless.

Decades Throwback

Choose a specific decade (e.g., '70s, '80s, '90s) and raid your closet or a thrift store for era-appropriate clothing. Your RPM Luxury Apartment can be transformed into a time machine for a true blast from the past.

Punny Costume

Get creative with wordplay by creating a  pun-inspired costume. For example, tape cereal boxes to your clothes and go as a "cereal killer." With this idea, your costume can be as creative - or basic - as you’d like.

Modern Pop Culture Icon

Pick a beloved pop culture icon and replicate their look with what you have on hand. Whether it's Marilyn Monroe's red lips or Steve Jobs' black turtleneck, your RPM luxury apartment can become the backdrop for your transformation.

Classic Vampire

Halloween just wouldn’t feel complete if someone wasn’t vamped out. This year, it can be you! Dress in dark, elegant clothing, add some fake fangs, and a touch of pale makeup. Bonus points for fake blood drips from your “prey”. 

 

Looking for a spookier setting for your Halloween plans, or even just getting ready prep? We’ve got some great recommendations for you.

So get comfortable, and let’s dive into some fall party theme ideas that will make your RPM Living apartment the go-to destination for fun and festivities this autumn.

Enhance the ambiance with string lights and autumnal tunes for an unforgettable harvest experience.

Oktoberfest Celebration

Embrace the spirit of Oktoberfest by turning your apartment into a Bavarian beer garden. Decorate with blue and white banners, set up a beer tasting station with local craft brews, and serve classic German dishes like bratwurst and pretzels. Don't forget the lederhosen and dirndls for added authenticity.

Halloween Costume Party

October wouldn't be complete without a Halloween bash. Encourage your guests to come in their spookiest, silliest, or most creative costumes. Decorate your apartment with eerie lighting, cobwebs, and jack-o'-lanterns. Host a costume contest and offer prizes for the best-dressed ghouls and ghosts.

Fall Movie Marathon

For a more relaxed gathering, set up a cozy movie night in your apartment. Create a comfy viewing area with blankets and pillows, and choose a lineup of classic fall-themed movies, such as "Hocus Pocus," "Harry Potter," or "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving." Don't forget the popcorn and hot cider!

Pumpkin Carving Extravaganza

Our Top Tips For Learning To Live With Roommates

Living with roommates can be a rewarding experience, offering the chance to share costs, create lasting friendships, and make memories together. However, it also comes with its unique set of challenges. At RPM Living, we understand the importance of fostering a harmonious living environment for all our residents. 

In this blog, we'll share valuable tips for living with roommates to ensure a peaceful and enjoyable coexistence in your RPM Living apartment. Let's dive in!

 

Communication is Key

Open and honest communication is the cornerstone of a successful roommate relationship. Establish a regular time to discuss any concerns, responsibilities, or plans related to the living space. This ensures that everyone's needs and preferences are heard, leading to better understanding and cooperation.

 

Set Clear Boundaries

Defining boundaries from the beginning can prevent misunderstandings later on. Discuss personal space, shared chores, and quiet hours. Respect each other's privacy and agree on rules for guests and parties to maintain a comfortable living environment.

 

Divide Chores Fairly

Living with roommates means sharing household responsibilities. Create a chore schedule to evenly distribute tasks like cleaning, taking out the trash, and grocery shopping. Rotating responsibilities ensures that everyone contributes equally to the upkeep of the apartment.

 

Respect Each Other's Sleep Schedules

Sleep schedules can differ among roommates, especially if you have varying work or study routines. Be mindful of noise levels during late hours and early mornings. Invest in noise-canceling headphones if necessary to maintain a peaceful atmosphere.

 

Keep Shared Spaces Tidy

Clutter in common areas can lead to frustration and disagreements. Encourage everyone to clean up after themselves and maintain shared spaces like the kitchen and living room in an orderly manner. Regularly declutter these areas to create a welcoming atmosphere for all.

 

Be Mindful of Each Other's Belongings

Respect each other's belongings and ask permission before using them. Borrowing items without consent can lead to tension and discomfort. Treat each other's possessions with care, just as you would want your belongings to be treated.

 

Celebrate Each Other's Successes

Living with roommates means being part of each other's lives. Celebrate each other's achievements and milestones, whether it's a promotion, a successful exam, or a personal accomplishment. Supporting each other fosters a positive and uplifting living environment.

 

Living with roommates can be a fantastic experience when approached with consideration, open communication, and mutual respect. By implementing these tips for harmonious coexistence, you can create a supportive and enjoyable living environment in your RPM Living apartment. 

Embrace the opportunity to build lasting connections and make the most of your shared living experience!
