Scottsdale, AZ Home - Where do We Stand with the Eviction?

We don't know! We'll be finding out today as the occupants plead guilty in their court appearance and are now required to move out by no later than November 11, 2008 (midnight). At 12:01AM, November 12, 2008 they're no longer lawfully allowed to remain in the home. If they continue to occupy the residence, we'll have to work with our lawyers accordingly to contact the constable for a potentially forceful removal.

We most certainly hope that it doesn't come down to this. An eviction process is not fun for either party but especially for the occupant. It's an unfortunate reality. When we purchased this home from the public trustee auction, the occupants were still in the home.

Once the eviction is finalized we'll get our first glimpse to see how much work is in store for us with this remodel. With these types of situations, you never know.

You can let the fear of the unknown rule your reality or you can get down to the business of the day. Difficult circumstances will always have to be dealt with and your success or failure will be born from the manner in which you handle the situation.

Chic on the Cheap



If you haven't noticed by now, the two of us Babs Blog sisters are BIG fans of Ebay and Etsy. There are many reasons for this, but the biggest reason is that these two sites allow us to buy fun and creative items without breaking the bank. Face it, folks: Budgets are tight these days and people are paying a lot more attention to dollars and cents. However, you needn't sacrifice style in these days of decreased expendable income. Instead, be creative!
Above you'll see three photos of very simple yet stylish decor that would work great for your next party's centerpiece or for Christmas decor around the house. The white milkglass vessels all came from Ebay. Go to Ebay and search for "white milkglass" and you'll see literally thousands of items in different shapes and sizes to bid on. The items in the collection above were all less than $7.00 a piece (and a couple were obtained for 99 cents plus shipping!) The greenery was inexpensive, too! The mossy pieces were obtained on clearance at the local Marshall's and the trees (real Gold European Trees) came from a sale at Ikea!
Grouped together, the crisp white and vivid green look decidedly sophisticated. How chic---and how cheap!
