Unpacking Process

 

 

Several shelves in the pantry are super tidy! I LOVE all the space in the pantry!

We no longer have a linen closet, so it has been "fun" to try to find places to tuck the sheets, towels and blankets.

Yesterday we worked on getting "the studio" unpacked of my husband's books and dvds. We removed about a quarter of the boxes so he could actually get IN the room and to work he went emptying boxes! Now he has some books on the shelves and we SEE THE FLOOR! But, alas,  the playroom area is now full of boxes again!  But these are the LAST of the boxes! I think he has more books than space...hmmmm.

I'm really pleased with my desk and love all the open floor in the tiled area.

New Playroom Rug

Shopping just takes a long time. Yesterday, we found a rare 8'x10' gray rug at IKEA and brought it home. On the drive home, we stopped to look at Home Depot and found a lovely beige one and brought it home as well. We put both down and decided the beige one was much higher quality (for the same price) and I didn't like the way the dark gray looked like indoor/outdoor carpet and made the room feel like the rug was a big hole. The kids wanted to keep both, but we took the gray one back today.

We need to get the white tables put away and I do have a couple boxes left to empty. The kids are going to love this open area with a nice big rug to play in on days like today...it POURED rain all day long!
