In my dreamworld I thought taking two weeks off would give me time to move, unpack and get all the other things required when moving completed and settled. HAHAHAHAHA!!
There are still about 80 boxes to be unpacked. Granted most of those are for the craft room and only have a couple items per box (crafting supplies tend to be heavy so filling even a small box can make it too heavy to lift) but still.....
Window treatments are still a few weeks away. Everything has been ordered and is being sewn but it will be April before anything is ready. All the artwork/pictures/mirrors are leaning against walls around the house as I try to decide where I want everything to be. I don't want to fill the walls with holes than go back and start moving pictures leaving a mess to clean up. Mom was by today and helped me with some ideas.
The office, guest room and media rooms are done. Since the office is set up I thought I would make a post.
Below are some pictures I took before the big move day and a few during the worst of the unpacking.
 |
| The night before: Heavy duty paper all down to protect the hardwood floors. Looking from the front door down into the living area. |
 |
| Front door area and off into the front bedroom/guest room. |
 |
| My poor craft room. It's beginning to look a bit better, but not much. |
 |
| Standing in the kitchen looking toward the dining room area and the small stack of boxes that held most of my tea pots and misc china pieces. The good china and Christmas china are still in boxes in the garage. |
 |
| Looking towards the front door. I think this was day three after the official move. |
 |
| The office while being unpacked (books just tossed in, not organized) and the area rug not yet in. I have since organized the books and display items in the bookcases, the area rug is in and all the decorative items that sit on top of the cases have been arranged. The only thing missing is the window treatment and hanging a couple pictures. |
 |
| Dining area. I have a black rug, but its going into the nook area once I find an area rug I like for this spot. |
 |
| The living area. Don't know what I am going to do over the fireplace yet. I just tossed a picture up there so it wouldn't look empty. I have already changed the furniture arrangement so the sofa faces the pine chest and the two chairs face each other. |
Once the window treatments are in and the pictures hung, I will post more pictures. With spring around the corner, there is still the nice sized backyard to deal with. I sure hope TLS Landscaping can come up with a nice design for me. I want it clean and simple. I have enough room in this yard to put in a pool, so I want to design a yard that will allow me to do that later down the road.
