Pack, load, haul, unload, repeat...

Hey, this part of the house almost looks like we're living there already, with the new rocking/swivel chairs and some things stuck up there on the mantle! Yeah, I wish!
We drove 2 more van loads of "stuff" to the house today and packed up the van with one more load to go over tomorrow. DH and DD took the first load over and emptied it while I packed up the kitchen. We loaded up another load and DH and I took it and emptied it. This is a photo of some of the things that have been moved into my sewing studio already...
And the kitchen is full of boxes because we moved all of the kitchen things ourselves...
And more boxes in the kitchen! You might also notice that we angled the lights over the penisula to open up the center, give it more interest, and to move the right-hand lights away from the wall a bit more. I think I like it this way better!
Here is a shot of the master bathroom so you can see how the granite looks with the rest of the stone in the bathroom.
And here is the tub side of the bathroom. There are still several things that need to be done in the master bathroom - some of the tile in the toilet area isn't grouted, the shower door is hinged on the wrong side, there is a pull missing from the cabinets, and a few other minor things...
Tomorrow the movers arrive bright and early. I think DD and I will head over to the house with the food from the refrigerator and freezer and spend the morning unloading the van and attempting to put things away in the kitchen. We might even take DS with us to help unload. We'll come back here on Wednesday to do some cleaning and to move the cleaning supplies, vacuum, etc. over to the house.

I can't believe this is the last night we'll be sleeping in this house - we've lived here for 11 years. That's the longest we have ever lived in any one house since we were married 26 years ago!

Countdown to move day: 1 day and counting! (or, more accurately, 10 hours and counting!)

What am I going to do without Patti's Ponderings???
Lots of fun to read. Congratulations on your new home.

Hey - who said Patti's Ponderings is going anywhere? It may, however, turn more to decorating than building, so you may want to tune out now. :-D
