June 2010
At this point, we are about two weeks into our house owning adventure. Josh came home every night and dutifully worked on the living room. I helped taping, caulking, and scrapping paint off the windows. Finally, late on a Saturday night we realized... we might be done??
We pulled up the paper on the floor and looked at our new walls, new floors and new paint and there was a wonderful moment of exhaustion fueled satisfaction. However, it was also 11:00pm and there was no way I was moving furniture. I cleaned the floors and woodwork and then went to bed. If I wasn't so dang tired I would have thought about this all night... The best part of moving and projects is unpacking your stuff and making the room yours!
The next morning we went into our 'hoarders room', or as Aunt Cindy termed our 'room of requirement' and unearthed our two area rugs, coffee table, side table, chair, blankets, tv stands, hall table, lamps and pretty much proved that the back bedroom was Narnia because there was no way this all was in there. As each item went in... it fit! Yay, no new furniture! And I got to unpack about 16 boxes of movies and cds. Hello, living!
