Spring Decor in a Rental

Renting has its limitations. You want to hang a million things on the wall, but don't want the nail holes to fix later on. You want to decorate outside for the holidays, but you are renting in a city and there is no lawn to decorate. These are some of my family's limitations with renting.

We are going to start our home search in the next few months, but in the meantime.....we work with what we have. We love the town and home we are living in now, but are ready to set out on this new chapter of our lives and grow as a family into a new home. When decorating for spring, I made the most of our "entrance way" into our home. It makes me smile every time I go out and in our door.

Happy Spring!

Happy Day,

Small Space Living Solution: A Traveling Table



Small space living requires dual purpose furniture....for sure! Our living room has been taken over by oversized baby furniture and chairs that we had to rearrange the room. I am used to having free range of rearranging furniture to my liking...usually on a monthly basis :)....but now I must make our home suitable for our sweet baby girls and her belongings too.

I sat down one morning and went to put down my cup of coffee and realized that there was no table to rest my mug on. We had removed the old white chippy painted table to make room for an oversized gray tufted rocker. (which I just love) The side tables to the green couch are used for our pretty little things are really not functional at all. I now had to put my thinking cap on and think of how we can find a table that could be easily moved in between the chair and couch and was not overwhelmingly large. Tada! Homegoods had the perfect table with wheels for our drinks to rest! It was the perfect size and wherever my husband and I decide to sit and enjoy a glass of wine....the table rolls with us :)

A tufted gray chair has replaced the blue one.

Perfect table for placing my morning coffee :)

Best purchase I have made so far in this home!
Happy Day!
