Trending on Remodelista: 5 Quick Ideas to Make a Summer Rental Feel Like Home

The only thing missing from your summer rental house is your personality. Add a thoughtful touch (and take it home after Labor Day) to make a summer house feel like welcoming. Here are five design-forward ideas from the Remodelista editors:

Ikea, Ikea, Ikea

Make a pit stop at Ikea to stock up on budget-friendly kitchen accessories such as the Kastrull Saucepan with Lid (shown here on the cooktop, it is made of enameled steel with a wooden handle; \$\19.99). See more in this week&#8\2\17;s Steal This Look post.

Botanical Prints
