The mobile home has two bedrooms, and mine has no trouble fitting a queen-sized bed.

<p>The right lighting can transform any room from drab to dramatic. Budget-conscious interior enthusiasts are embracing strategically placed floor lamps, pendant lights, and fairy string lights to create a cosy ambience.</p>
