Hi all, I know its been a while, but, well, you know, life!
Everyone's been sick with pneumonia and bronchitis here at home for the past few weeks. Has this hit your home yet? I think we're finally in the home stretch now, so yippee!!
Also here on the home front, we're moving! Yep, that's right, we're finally moving into a bit bigger place with lot's more windows! Thank goodness, now I won't feel like I'm living in a basement with no light. I have 3 windows in my entire place right now, so it is a bit dark, all of the time.
Anyway, the new place is wonderful. Since I've been sick, I just started packing yesterday and we now have 7 days until the move, so I am now in panic mode! And I'm out of tape and packing paper, so I need to make a run to Uhaul for more supplies. The one good thing though is we're hiring mover's this time, so my husband and I won't break our backs moving our heavy vintage furniture up and down the stairs. Boy, they made good ole' solid furniture back in the day didn't they?!!
As much as I hate the moving process, packing, unpacking, lifting, boxes piled to the ceiling, I do LOVE decorating the new place!! It's a blank canvas ready for endless possibilities. I can't wait to try some different decorating ideas and would adore anything like the beautiful rooms below~

Yummy inspiration right?
Hope you all have a wonderful week and I'll be back once I'm all settled into the new place.
Sincerely,
~Melinda

ReplyDelete~glad to hear all are slowly getting better and MOVING!!! how exciting...i could hardly imagine only three windows...eek! so food for thought if you need more packing paper...my father told me to visit a local newspaper press...they give free rolls of the left over paper away...perfect for packing but also many other crafty uses as well!?! happy moving days ahead for you...can't wait to see your new home and what decorating you will be doing...this pics are dreamy...be well and much love light and blessings~
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you, Can't wait to see your new Home..Good luck with all the packing I know it's hard work but will be worth it.

I wish you the best Melinda! I got bronchtis with "strands" of pneumonia last year. And I'm never sick!! I thought I would NEVER get my strength back! Moving isn't fun, but I like your attitude and yes, movers will help! And on a positive note, you are doing so well in your new space at the store. I'm SO happy to have gotten you out of the corner!! Take care of yourself, okay?
