Post Valentine’s Day Fog

Things sure are crazy around here!

We made it through our second household bout with COVID well: I was unscathed and Louie recovered quickly. We’ve been busy busy with the house, life, work, etc. I’ve been spending all my free time at the new house, or browsing the internet for ideas for decor, closet design, etc. We have our moving date set (ONE MONTH) and in between still lots to do: you might think this is taking a long time, but really, it’s moving as fast as we can. The paint is looking great, and the plaster cracks are getting fixed and will be basically nonexistent soon. We are getting the floors waxed and cleaned soon.

Basically I sound and feel like a crazy overwhelmed person! In between I’m teaching, playing entirely too many concerts, and oh, did I mention our washing machine at the “old” house broke so I can only currently do laundry at the new house?

But, it will all be WELL worth it in the end, when we move, when we get to live in this glorious space. The bedroom color is gorgeous, the couches are ordered and will be delivered at some point in the spring, and I’ve picked up a few new (to me) things on facebook marketplace.

This is the sunroom. It was all yellow with an ancient yellow wall to wall carpet, and look at it now: still some yellow, but that FLOOR was hidden!
The entrance foyer: the wood and spindles took a long time to paint, but not as long as the rest of the main floor wood trim.
The entrance foyer, a little ways in. Eventually we will remodel the kitchen (and not like old house eventually, actual soonish, in the new few years.)
The bedroom blue doesn’t show up quite right in this photo, but it’s gorgeous.

Anyway, I’ve posted a fair amount on Instagram over the past month, so look for me there as well for more house stuff.
