We were
blessed to purchase a foreclosure in 2011 that was three times bigger than our
previous home. While I would have loved
to have been able to wave a magic wand and make our home look just like it was taken
out of a Pottery Barn magazine, Pottery Barn was not in our budget. Instead, we have worked hard to create a home
on a budget by being creative with what we had, repurposing other people’s junk,
and doing most of the work ourselves.
