6 Tips, Tricks & Transformations for Renters Decor

It's hard to believe, but six months ago, we found out we would be moving out of the state of Florida across the country to Arizona. Within that time, we managed to prep our townhome to sell, search for a new place to dwell, plan + replan + adapt a plan to our new place, pick paint colors, update lighting fixtures, utilize thrift for refreshed decor in our new place, and create fresh arrangements with existing pieces used in new ways. Since so many people have shifted from home owners to renters, I thought I'd group together the posts I've shared with our rental experiences. I don't believe that just because we're renting, we should be living out of packed & stored boxes in the garage. I still wanted to create a comfortable home environment for us. With a little effort, it is possible. Here's a recap with link backs to the previous posts of transforming our rental space into our new home. Hopefully these tips can be helpful & inspiring to you if you too are a renter... or about to become one.

The posts above are a collection of previous posts... Below are a few I'm working to post shortly.
