Looking for ways to spice up your rented space without risking your security deposit? 🏡 If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time, you know I’ve made it my mission over the last 15+ years to customize and personalize our rental homes as much possible, often doing and trying things that wouldn’t occur to most people.
