BOXES

Sorry to all of my dear followers...I have been consumed by all the boxes in my house....Boxes, boxes, boxes...Mozzarella boxes, Romaine boxes, Head Lettuce boxes, Garlic bread boxes, Styrofoam boxes, Onion boxes, Potato boxes, Powdered milk boxes, Pepper boxes, Cake boxes...boxes, boxes, boxes! If we weren't in such a hurry to pack I think that I would build myself a fort! Can somebody tell me how it is possible for a house to be so messy when you are actually cleaning up by packing everything so neatly into boxes?!
Unfortunately for me and those who are going to be helping us move...I am no Martha Stewart...No moving poster (sorry to disappoint Jacks)....no plan (ha this'll be fun)...and no fancy labels or lists...but I did buy coloured smiley face stickers! Each colour will signify a different room...despite the fact that EVERYTHING will be going into the basement with the exception of Claudia's room, the kitchen, and the piano due to renovations.
Another unfortunate is that I don't have pictures of the house we will be moving into, as the lady never listed her house, so there is no listing and we forgot to take pictures when we looked at her house that one time! Seeing as we are 'trading' houses I won't have photos until moving day.
On the bright side...I can show you what I hope my kitchen will look like after we renovate it and I can try to upload the colours that I have chosen to paint the interior! Fun Fun!
I think (think meaning that we may change our minds) that we have decided on a warm honey-ish coloured hardwood with darker grain, the kitchen cabinets will probably be something close to an Espresso colour, Ike wants to build a two car garage, we will replace the tile in the main bathroom, ensuite bathroom, and side entrance area, windows and doors and siding choices are going to be a surprise...I can't give everything away right away!


Soooo for paint...the kitchen will be that tiny swatch off kilter at the bottom and it's called Silk Sails...nice bright creamy colour! The living room and hallway will be Bronco Brown with Winter Wheat trim shown in the picture of the room on the right. The main bath will be some form of cream but the niche where the tub is will be that glorious Cedar Chest 'red' shown on the left. Claudia has yet to decide on one colour and Ike and I can't seem to agree on the spare bedroom...lol. We already have our paint for the master bedroom as I had full intentions of painting here but never got to it....One wall will be something close to Espresso and the rest will be creamy. I LOVE re-decorating!
