<div style="text-align: center;">Hello I am Tiffany from <a href="http://www.savvydesignwest.com/" target="_blank">Living Savvy</a> and I am excited to be here today kicking off Elizabeth's vacation!  I am a little jealous that she is having some fun in the sun because currently I am in the middle of packing up my house and moving!  Both exciting and frustrating... I will be moving my house into storage and living at my parents summer house {it only sounds fancy... they live here in Nor Cal in the summer and winter in Hawaii} till our new home is ready.  But since I have packed all of my belonging it makes me think about how my style has evolved over the last 3 years that I have lived here.  And even now as I make plans for my new house, I still have not quite decided what direction I want to go... </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So I thought it would be fun to share the evolution of my house over the last 3 years, maybe a road down memory lane will shoot me in the right direction for my new house!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
