Cabinets and Carpets and Moving – Oh My!

Wow, I can’t believe it has been two months since I started this blog!!  These last couple of months have just flown by with all the busyness and excitement.  Finally, after all the stress of packing and moving (and trying to get everything finished in the house in the meantime), we’re in our new house, and loving it!

We managed to have the floor installed by Thursday (July 30th – right before our move!), and on Friday, D took the day off work and his brothers helped him move most of the big stuff over while I was at work.  As they moved furniture, we had a carpenter working around them to get the baseboards installed.  And after I got home, we spent the rest of Friday night and most of Saturday finishing moving, cleaning our old place, and unpacking a few essentials.

Now, I didn’t take any photos during our move, and I haven’t yet taken many of the house since we’ve moved in (we still have lots of organizing to do, and hanging of pictures and so on), but I did in fact take many pictures during the fun process of cabinet painting and carpet tearing up….here are a few teasers, with a post devoted to the kitchen cabinet painting process coming soon…
