Moving

We found a house that was everything we wanted-- minus clean... The past renter was a gross hoarder slob-- who simply walked out. Our land lady originally said that it wouldn't be ready to move in for a few weeks- we traded our elbow grease for cheaper first months rent and lower deposit-- which was a total blessing for us because I don't know how we could have gotten into a house money wise. It was a done deal the same day and we started cleaning the place out- we now LOVE it and I will post the "after" pics soon- but here are just a few of the befores...

this is all the crud she left behind-- yuck!

the start of our decorating- I am loving my house and life.

Our moving mantel-- perfect.
