T- a couple weeks

The last major hurdle has been crossed---the sellers are making the requested changes/fixes/upgrades, so barring the back door not opening again--closing is in less than a month.  Which means i feel confident showing you small snaps of the interior. :)

This is my new kitchen. The red is gone...we are contemplating shades of blue or green instead. It is a gas range--I am beyond excited. Because we got Adam a nice book reading chair, i get final say on all things kitchen related....which is exciting. i foresee chalkboard paint on the wall between the fridge and the garage.

Our days have been filled with furniture shopping, assessing and reassessing the furniture budget, contemplating the quality of area rugs, which dishes we like/don't like, and debating whether we need the really nice table or if the cheap set will suffice. And in the back of my mind i am still looking for a way to only have handmade ceramics in the house....a la familia Ravines.

The only thing we know for sure is that i (and neah) will not be present when it comes to moving everything out of our apartment. After a near end to a our engagement the last time we tried to pack a moving truck together, we have learned our lesson: Two control freaks cannot pack a truck jointly.  Thus, we will box it all up together, he will pack the truck and i will unpack on the other end. Eeeeee!
