Love Grows Best In Little Houses

For now we are staying in a 2 bed/2 bath apartment. We are lucky to be renting from Jaden's cousin who is giving us a great deal. Me and Jade can't wait to own our own home someday, but where we end up once Jaden is done with school is totally unknown right now. So renters we shall be for the time being! The place we are in right now was built in the 80's. Definitely not my style. But I have tried my best to spruce up the place and make it our own. I'm really into DIY projects and home decor. So decorating out little place has been so fun for me. I know we won't be here forever, but I love to make wherever we are living (even if its a rental) as homey as I can. 

Here is a little peak into my living room. A lot of my decor is thrifted or DIY's that were inspiration from Pinterest. I will link all the DIY's I found on pinterest below. 


Jaden and my Dad made this TV stand for me. I had my eye on this tv stand I found on Pinterest for over a couple of years. I love it!








 My Amazing husband made me this pendant out of embroidery hoops! Doesn't it look so good?! We had a dated chandelier here before that wasn't going with the rest of our stuff and I didn't want to spend a fortune on a brand new orb pendant so we made one ourselves!. I love my hubby for helping me with my crazy projects and being such a good sport about it:)  We got the idea off of pinterest.

You really can make any space work. Even if your renting! I've had a lot of fun letting my creativity flow in this little space we call home.
