Well, as you know, we sold our "forever" (not) home in August and had ten days to find a new place to live, pack, and get moved. That is NOT enough time to buy a new house, so we decided we would rent for a little while. We found a cute little (with the key word being "little") house and signed a six month lease - with an option to renew.
I thought that I would share the "before we moved in" pictures.

So, now you see the "little bitty" house that we are attempting to make into our new home. The largest most challenging problem that we have is we are renting!
We haven't rented anything for about 30 years and it is quite an issue for me. I really have all these ideas but Mountain Man keeps telling me
"This isn't our house"!
"This isn't our house"!
I am trying to figure out how to give this house our "stamp" - but I can't paint, I can't change the kitchen cabinets (and boy does the kitchen need a complete overhaul), I can't do anything to the floor. All the things that I have always been able to do to make a "house" our "home" I can't do!
Boy, is this frustrating!
However, I will do this - and I'll start showing some of the changes that we have made next week.
Hope you'll come back and see what we're doing.
Hugs -
Carol
