Have I mentioned yet how excited we are to be moving back to Oregon? Oh, I guess I have!
Wrapped up in that excitement is the idea of starting fresh with our living space. All of the kids have mentioned changes they want to make to the decor in their bedrooms, and my husband and I have a growing wish list of new living room furniture. I think it’s just something about moving that makes you want to start with a clean slate in a new house.
The folks at Apartment Guide know all about helping people with clean slates and new homes. While they are primarily known for helping people around the country locate rentals, Apartment Guide is also a great online resource for design tips and home decor inspiration.
