When I was younger in rentals I always painted and did what I could to make it feel mine. I'd buy furniture, curtains, even if everything was from flea markets, DIY or Ikea. When you love interiors you pride your home to be an extension of you.

In the end, I definitely spent money on things that won't probably work for our next place but they were completely worth it at the time to save my sanity by having an organized, pretty, functional home.

My insane desire to wallpaper is the only reason I ever get tempted to buy (not actually financially worth it given my current rent). Do you plan on being there a long time?Elyse | Peonies and Brasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13485280550391518201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8267165268590799235.post-76399207348963578062012-11-26T11:57:44.560-05:002012-11-26T11:57:44.560-05:00OMG those fork and knive handles.

I too, am in a rental and struggle with the same thing, but when it comes down to it I'd rather be in a place that feels like "home".Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08837605788125022109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8267165268590799235.post-52580215726491736832012-11-26T07:04:46.536-05:002012-11-26T07:04:46.536-05:00That is worth it.

Anyone who did not know, would think we owned our house. Wallpapering, painting, new light fixtures. But do not worry, all of our improvements will come with us :) Sadie + Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03277900793464980625noreply@blogger.com
