November 15, i pick up the keys to our new tiny little home, which will be inhabited by 6 people. (Me, Kayla and Jory, Brenda and Maddie and Diane. I know it’s going to be tight at times and we’ll annoy the heck out of eachother at some point, but when you are with family and know that you are helping eachother out, there is a way, there is a will and there will be good times.
Today I started by just walking around with garbage bags and throwing out stuff I didn’t like anymore. Things that held painful memories or things that I had no use for anymore. I think by the end of the afternoon, we had about 9 garbage bags to throw away. Ha, I haven’t even made a dent yet!! We have a lot of work to do in the next few weeks – and we’re going to be exhausted, but I’m so happy to do it – because for me, for my kids – it means a new beginning.
I can’t wait to paint the place and decorate. Something I haven’t cared much to do while being in this old house. I can’t wait to make it my own.
Here’s a few rooms of inspiration. I’m painting all my shelves and accessories white before we move in so I can achieve a ‘calm and cool’ feeling at the new place.
I simply cannot wait!!!!
