The last post before the move

Well this will be my last post. It was decided earlier that I would go ahead and pack up the computer tonight so that we don't have to bother with it tomorrow.
I will not be posting between now and Monday evening. I don't know if I'll post any photos until we get the satellite internet hooked up. It's already been ordered.

Today I took a bunch of boxes over to the house. I got the kitchen sort of organized. I cannot wait until we raise those darn cabinets. I have counter space but I can't use hardly any of it because they're so low. I have an enormous amount of cabinets. Never in my life have I had this many cabinets to my disposal in my kitchen. They make me so happy. I don't have enough stuff to fill them...yet. In fact I still have the lower shelf in my bottom cabinets empty in almost all of them. I have so much empty space in them its unreal. Especially since all of my cabinets in this house were filled to the brim and I still had too much stuff to fit in them. It's really weird actually. The only downside is that there is only 2 drawers. I am apparently spoiled right now with 7 drawers. I'm going to use the plastic drawers that we used for Blond Terror when he was little to hold all the stuff that I feel needs to be in drawers. Especially since I've already filled the 2 drawers we have and it's not with flatware.
I do have more glasses and plates and such. They're still here getting ready to be packed up. Same with the pots and pans. See that insane amount of cereal? Yeah generally they don't eat cold cereal since it contains HFCS and we try to avoid it. This month I bought a bunch to maybe entice them to get up and get moving before school.







What do you think of that orange color on the wall where my stove will be. It's the paint I wanted to do under the chair rail. I'm still trying to decide if I love it or not. Maybe once the new floor goes in I can make up my mind.

I also hung shelves today. All by myself and they're level. God bless the inventor of the magnetic tip for the drill/screw gun bit and the inventor of the level. Without them I wouldn't have straight shelves. Heck I probably wouldn't have them up yet. Ok I didn't hang the one with the pegs. Firefighter did a few days ago. I did the quilt one and the ones with all my photos. That is not the permanent quilt for that spot either. I just hung it there to see what it would look like with one there. I'm sewing one for in that room. You know in a few months when I've recovered from the speed house preparing/remodeling and moving. Or maybe when my youngest graduates college...
Oh and all of our shelves are made by Twin City Crafters. It happens to be Firefighter's Gpa M. I need to put in my order for a grandfather's clock. I already know what I want. Maybe need to stop by and put a deposit down on it. I also need to order a few more shelves for the kitchen and Prissy Pants' room. That is also where we got the awesome airplane shelf in the boys' room.



I put the clouds on her blue ceiling and a bit on her wall. She and I are going to paint grass and flowers on the blue wall next week. We were going to do the clouds together but we decided that I could go ahead today but hold off on the flowers. I also cut out several butterflies from her border and placed them on the purple wall. Her room is pretty much ready for move in. Hopefully we'll have her new window in on Sunday.




In the boys' room I was able to chalk where I needed to get primed so I could get it painted according to what I want to do since I didn't have enough border and I bought the only 2 rolls on the clearance cart at Lowes. It will eventually be painted a solid white there with black border on top and bottom and dalmation spots all through it. The 2 extra firetrucks I was able to get out of the little bit of remaining border were cut out and hung. This photo only shows the one that I had hung at the time. Yes I got primer on my red paint. I will go over it sometime this weekend. Their room should be totally complete new bunks and all by mid next week.

By the way those photos show the color of the walls probably the most true that I've seen in what I've taken. I'll be honest right now I'm too busy trying to get so much done that I don't feel like color correcting the wall paint colors in the photos. Yes I'm lazy. No I don't care what you think about that ;)
I hope you all have happy weekends! We'll be moving all weekend then working on the house when we're done. Also picking up Firefighter's new to us truck. Say a prayer/keep us in your thoughts/naked moon dance that the wind isn't too bad tomorrow and the rain holds out on Saturday.
