My Rental: One Year Anniversary

<div style="text-align: center;">Yesterday marked the one year anniversary of my move into my beloved little rental. This place has truly become home away from home (my hometown and family are in Waterloo) and I'm so grateful to have this little corner of the world to come home to after a long day in the city.<br /><br />My space has evolved and changed a lot since I got the keys, and I thought it might be fun to take a look back at all the changes.<br /><br />Here what the space looked like before I moved all of my stuff in:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfB2n945AgppVlVlADHOS6iJR4cYYxrQjNkWZVZhejM92hhXvKoRRQm3y2gs6_9LCWprfEm7advMN6il2UFT9t4_TdNO0X6UdNqv8pXePgQ4EKErjVhTUElClGnrL28D43Deez6HPzX28/s1600/rental+image+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfB2n945AgppVlVlADHOS6iJR4cYYxrQjNkWZVZhejM92hhXvKoRRQm3y2gs6_9LCWprfEm7advMN6il2UFT9t4_TdNO0X6UdNqv8pXePgQ4EKErjVhTUElClGnrL28D43Deez6HPzX28/s640/rental+image+1.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3Mj7R5YSzWrPktpazcCnRMEytNSbslqw0Yn-jCOJLj5B1kgjuP1ESaX9Jm6QAe3x_VtZqAIz8oF-aMxEJC4D37vQQklPVwruQ6KDT4JnZ4fearpBgO82o2I0t4Jtt1iD4PyATDdiAu04/s1600/rental+image+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3Mj7R5YSzWrPktpazcCnRMEytNSbslqw0Yn-jCOJLj5B1kgjuP1ESaX9Jm6QAe3x_VtZqAIz8oF-aMxEJC4D37vQQklPVwruQ6KDT4JnZ4fearpBgO82o2I0t4Jtt1iD4PyATDdiAu04/s640/rental+image+2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />Next a look at the first phase of decorating, before the real 'layering' process had really taken place.

I am becoming the woman that I always wanted to be.<br /><br />Cheers to another wonderful year with all of you. You are all a big part of my life and I love you all!<br /><a href="http://s1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh609/tiffanyleighinteriordesign/?action=view&current=Tiffany-27.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh609/tiffanyleighinteriordesign/Tiffany-27.jpg" /></a></div>
