This has been an expensive month. Between buying the house and furnishing it, Matt and I have taken "debt" to a new level for the Johnsons. But, boy, has it been fun!
Matt is out collecting much of the furniture that we have purchased over the last month or so. We will have a new fridge, sofa, buffet, and bookshelf waiting for us at our new house! We also bought a sofa and love seat for the outdoor living room that is currently in our garage. Plus, we have an outdoor dining table and chairs, dresser for our room, and a coffee table that are being delivered to the new house this week. Oh, and some art. And new dishes. And bar stools. And airplane accoutrement for Lukie's room. Seriously, moving is expensive.
At first it was the most fun ever decorating the new place! Every piece was lovingly chosen and measured to ensure a perfect fit. But, I'm burnt on shopping. Who thought that could even happen? The coffee table was the biggest challenge, and by the end I just told Matt to pick one and order it. I didn't even like it when I first saw it, but it has grown on me. Now I think it's lovely. Good job husband!
Paint and baby gate purchasing is today's job, and painting begins tomorrow. We have had to adjust our original plan for this week because the sellers (who are currently our tenants (yup, we're landlords)), have had problems closing their escrow. We lost two days, so we had to scrap a few projects, but we're rolling with it. I think a house is a work in progress anyway, right?
Just wanted to write a quick catch-up. I'll post some pics of the house as soon as I can!
Oh, and Luke is 11 months old. What? How come I still have baby weight? As Luke would say, sheesh.
