Tip #8

 to clean and tidy both the exterior and interior of a home. I have not hesitated in fixing up the flower beds, adding a garden and sprucing up the lawn. I have gone out to buy planters, outdoor lighting and patio furniture. You can always pack it up and take it with you! I have also scrubbed and cleaned grout, tiles, walls, doors, windows and the list can go on. I am not afraid to roll up my sleeves and get down to work. 


A home is an expression of you, don't let it scream that you don't care.


I hope that throughout the year I can show you what I have done around our rental to make it a home, maybe inspiring you along the way. 


This week I hope to share a dresser re-do, awesome finds and another thrift store lamp makeover!
