Before and After


I wish we had taken "before" pictures of our home. Or maybe the term should be "between". As in, when the movers dumped everything all over our home, stirred it up with some giant spoon, and left us to figure out the mess. For example, I had the toys separated perfectly (I am an organizational nerd) and I guess that when they packed they dumped everything in a couple of large boxes. Little star wars lego pieces with all other dinosaurs, cars, large legos, wooden toys, strawberry shortcake... all mixed together, this time perhaps with a whisk. Why did I organize everything so meticulously BEFORE we moved? We had to do it all over again when they dumped. Talk about tornado rooms. I mean, we had the bookshelves assembled and where did they put the books? On the floor next to the shelves. Not neatly piled, but bent flaps and paperbacks. And we have a lot of books.
No more complaining. AFTER a lot of work this past week, we are moved in.


I like the built in shelves



Master Bedroom


Master Bathroom



Bookshelves in the landing, one of my favorite areas of the house


Our stairs wrap around, so at most, this cutie pie could fall down 5 stairs...


The stairs and landing look over a large dining room/piano room.
And I love my happy poster.

Looks like you found a great house!
I can't believe they would just dump your stuff like that.

The before sounds frightening. Sorry about your movers. The after looks organized, clean, and beautiful. I'm not surprised. We miss every single one of you guys.

LOVE IT! You're home is beautiful! Also, Ioved the part about the whisk. I'll remember that so I don't do any sorting before we move. That's annoying though--good job making your home amazing again though--and awesome for Micah to ride his 2 wheeler! YAY! LOVE you guys!
