Our (rented) House / Part 1

It's been almost 4 months since we moved back to our hometown in Florida from our city life in Houston, Texas. Seriously...........4 months??!! The days drag on but the weeks fly by. Or something like that.
Anyway, I thought it would be fun to share the before and after photos from the house we were renting in Houston. I put a lot into making it feel like home because we planned to stay a while. Although, I can say that by the time I finished painting the living room area, I was wishing I had never started the painting process. Being pregnant and needing to wear a mask while painting was not a fun combo. Yet, in the end, when I look back at our photos, they look awful nice with those freshly painted walls in the background. *There may be just a hint of sarcasm there, just a little. wink.

We'll start our tour outside.
Before:

Weeding and trimming these bushes in October while being 7.5 months pregnant was something else, I'll tell you. But I do love how nice it made the front of the house feel.

After:
