  Well, my birthday month is almost over and sadly my birthday was the most exciting thing going on at The Temporary Tiny Place for Two for the month of February. My sister gave me the clear glass Southern Living Pears for my birthday and I just love this little above the refrigerator kitchen corner I created earlier this month. It's hard to believe we've been here for a full ninety days, but 90 Days it is.!

Image Sourced From Google The other day, I spotted an open door and I stuck my head in it, only to find a beautiful one bedroom condo, completed renovated, ready and waiting to be rented. I just could not help myself, so I called to inquire as to the status. You see, I was desperately planning on looking for a one bedroom place, when the  Temporary Tiny Place for Two  suddenly, became available. I'd been  suddenly  working a little more than six weeks without housing, sleeping on my adult children's sofas and I was dog tired. I was dog tired and desperate, when I signed the twelve month lease.  So, here I am. So, here we are.  I keep praying about the beauty of the one bedroom apartment, but the Holy Spirt keeps nugging me to just let it go.  Yesterday, I asked the question. I don't want to live wondering what if. So, I asked my land lord, if there was any way I could maybe transfer my lease.  The  Temporary Tiny Place for Two was actual...

It's day 40 of living in what I've titled the Temporary Tiny Place for Two! The Temporary Tiny Place for Two is a CONDO on the second floor of a building built in the same year I was born (1963).  First and foremost, I've decided this place is temporary because the one thing I've learned in this my one life is any and most everything is temporary, so I'm dealing with this issue of permanence, right out front. Secondly, I've deemed this place as temporary, because it's a condo on the second floor of a building and dealing with groceries and such on stairs at 59 is not only not practical, but potentially dangerous to one who is so, gracious like myself.  So, I moved into the Tiny Place on November 29th, after working all day, the Mister and me dragged most of my personal possessions up the steps to unit # 23. And then, after Christmas on Tuesday, December 28th, most of my other possessions were moved by me, the Mister, my son and my brother-in-law, from Frankl...

I'm so excited about the CLEAN SLATE , the BLANK CANVAS, I've been praying for it for years! Yes, I've had to super fight hard to get it! But, I am here, this is now and designing, this my one life, my way is something this southern transplant joys to do.  The image above is my rendering of what our  Temporary Tiny place for two could be. The TTP is not this yet, but it is what I dream it to be.  The image above is not yet designed to scale, as we've yet to occupy the space and or take any measurements of the supposed three hundred and sixty one square feet. The TTP was rented unseen! And to my surprise is basically one room. The TTP was rented unseen and to my great surprise the potty is righty off the kitchen, but thankfully, there is a pocket door. It's my dream and my hope to anchor this space with a large dividing wall better known as a bookshelf from Ikea.
