Moving in

The move did not go very smooth. Because I spent so much time painting, I really didn't get much packing done. We had scheduled the truck and friends to help us move on saturday. And truly, in my mind, so long as the big stuff got on the truck, we'd be fine. Well, there are a few problems with that. 1.) Most of the big stuff or furniture has little stuff on or around it. You can't really get to the big stuff without dealing with the little stuff. And 2.) if you have helpers, you want as much help carrying boxes down 3 flights of stairs as you can get. Me personally, can only carry one box at a time and going down 32 steps to drop off 1 box, turn around and go up 32 steps to get the next box is sloooooooowwwwww moving. Oh how I wish I'd packed more boxes. In any case, most of it got done, but we are still quite a ways off from being done.

Here's a glimpse of making the parlor room pop!

I really thought the chaise would fit in tighter to the bay window, but it's still nice. Those shades really go down far.

Do you see Capone? He found a spot on my orange cube.

Dave loves to unpack and make our aspect shelves look nice.

Capone lurking about...

Still some more tweaking to be done, little flourishes to add, but not too bad for now.

and even Larabee discovered a way to the top and can be king high above!

What's so awesome is that he really loves to roll around up there. I hadn't had a chance to clean it, but he dusted it off so nicely for us. Tee hee...

And from the other side we played as well. He loves it up there!
