HOME AT LAST
Since 2006 I have been living in vacant homes that were for sale staging them with my own belongings. To tell you the truth I am not sure how many homes I have even lived in during those years. The shortest amount of time I lived in a home was 45 days and the longest about nine months. I am happy to report that now I have a permanent residence. It is only 860 square feet so it will take a lot of organization to make it work.
Despite it’s small size the home has a charming fireplace, a sunroom and a fenced in backyard, all things I had on my wish list for the home of my dreams. There is a lot of garden space that has been neglected and it will be interesting to see what plants pop up in the Spring.

This is a design philosophy that I adhere to. Take your time making your design decisions when you move into a new residence. You need to live in the space for a while to determine how it will be appropriate to your lifestyle. These are the principles I will be following as I transform my own house into the home I envision it to be. When you live in a small space it is important to make every inch count. Every color, fabric and piece of furniture chosen will make a difference in the overall design. Simple details will have a tremendous impact. When you live in beautiful surroundings that meet the needs of your individual lifestyle you will feel more fulfillment in your life.
