    Since it’s a rental and we can’t do anything structural, we have to do what we can with furniture and accessories. Would love to have $50 at Pottery Barn to give my home more personality.

    My home talks…
    If my home (or office for that matter) could talk, it would say “I am really sad and boring. You are a young and exciting person, I should reflect that. Maybe you could give me some cool storage, or some color… or a piece of furniture that isn’t a hand me down. I would feel much better.”

    I am in the ministry in live in a house that i don’t own… it’s old and not in the best shape, but I am grateful to have it. I just don’t make a ton of money, and really need to spruce it up a bit.
