Guest Post - The Little Black Door

Happy Thursday friends! Today I have my last guest post for the week - Elizabeth from The Little Black Door. 


Hi First Time Fancy readers! I'm Elizabeth from The Little Black Door and I'm so happy to be guest posting for Kerry while she is hard at work prepping for the big move. My husband and I have had several long distance moves over the years and I can appreciate the stress and upheaval a move can cause. So I thought I'd share a few quick things I think can help make any new house feel more like home. 

Pictures of family and friends. Just pulling some favorite frames out of a box and onto a table adds instant comfort.

Pillows. Temporary furniture, furniture that doesn't work in your new space, or furniture that was damaged during the move. No matter what, its nothing a few pillows can't brighten up.

Fresh flowers. A single flower, or a bunch from the grocery store will do. A little life among all the cardboard boxes can help.

New bedding. The first night in a new and empty place feels a little more inviting with new bedding.

Wine. Everything looks brighter when looking thru a glass of wine! (and a few boxes of take-out Chinese.)

I wish you a seamless and happy move to the West Cost Kerry. Enjoy the adventure!


Thank you so much Elizabeth! Not only was your post a great help at this time, but these are some wonderful tips we will surely carry over when transitioning to our rental in B.C.! A big thank you again to all of my guest bloggers who helped out with the blogging this week - expect to see me around tomorrow with some fancy finds from this past week!
