The Big Move

We are pretty much moved in to our new house thanks to: Mom, Dad, Jim, Amy, Curt, Madi, Bev, Emma, Mark, and Sherbie. Thanks guys! We brought too much stuff but I've been figuring things out the last couple of days and I think by next weekend things will be in order. It's amazing how much I can get done during the day when Peter is gone for a bajillion hours studying.

The biggest task so far has been the kitchen. We covered a dresser with a big butcher block countertop for an instant awesome 4'x2' island and brought in two shelving units, a magnetic knife strip, and some hooks. Everything seems to have a spot for now, but I have all of my large canisters still at the farm.

I think I overloaded this bar with pots!


View from our bedroom into the dining room:


Thankfully we had extra help to move the piano in. It does look darling where it is:


Holy pottery!


Hmmmm...I seem to have a few extra things in my studio/office room:


Next on the agenda is a run to Goodwill to drop off some chairs that we just can't fit and some other odds and ends. I've also decided to bite the bullet and buy a swiffer. Excitement overwhelms me.

1. Those hanging knives terrify me!
2. The hanging pots, however, I love. Did you use the Ikea bar and hooks?
3. I bit the Swiffer bullet, as well, and I LOVE it! I hear you can use "microfiber" clothes in place of the disposable swiffer clothes.
