We Have a Living Room!



Last night Jeff and I moved all the remaining boxes out of the living room and into the garage and started arranging furniture. The most important thing we unpacked was the wine! We still need to paint the fireplace (white) and hang all our wall art and put up all our knick knacks but at least most of our house is livable now (just don't look in the kitchen or the garage). Friday our custom closet doors are being installed, Cable and Internet are being hooked up (thank God) and a hauling company is coming to take away all the debris/trash from the move. Tomorrow the patio furniture I ordered is scheduled to arrive (Happy Birthday to me) and Rosa, Geoff and my bro Pete are all getting into town. By the end of next week the kitchen cabinets should be completed and we can finally get our kitchen organized and unpacked and maybe, we'll be able to start eating real food again. 11 weeks of nothing but takeout does not a bikini body make.

A Fun, Busy Weekend

Spent all day Saturday running around various fabric and upholstery shops picking fabric for window treatments. I found fabric for the kitchen and master bedroom and Goldie is making custom shades and curtains for us! The boys installed the ceiling fan in the kitchen, put the last of the light switches/plates and vents up in the kitchen and completed all the door knobs on all the new interior doors. Yesterday Alex started working in the backyard which we've been referring to as the Boeder Backyard Jungle. Tonight Jeff and I will be doing touch up painting and getting the house ready for company starting Thursday and my Uncle is working on painting our kitchen cabinets. Things are slowly coming together! Below is a before pick of our backyard, it's now halfway done so after pick will be coming soon.

Moving. Ugh.

Jeff and I took a 4 day weekend to pack up the condo and move into our new house. Even with help this is still what we're living like....

The good news, is that once we sort through everything and put it away nice and neat we will be organized and rid of lots of unnecessary junk. I can't wait until that day comes! Housewarming is in a week and a half....think we can do it?

Girls Night Out

Can't wait to go out with the girls for Belvedere Martini's (of course) and a night with Chelsea. I love that bitch.
