The boxes are piling up here. At the new house, the painters have been working diligently. Two rooms are completed and currently all the kitchen doors are off and strewn across scaffolding. The remaining walls are speckled with repair patches.
Both houses are a sight. I try to close my eyes for sleep but the endless to do list runs through my mind. In five days the move happens.
Your posts this week, focused on the visual, have kept me going: some evoking smiles, some tears, others a pause.

The in-between is the hardest part. Focus on your new home and how enjoyable it will be to tinker with and decorate. It will all come together. 💛

All those to-do lists can be crazy-making, but necessary. I remember how exhausting it was – and then not knowing what box things were in (like the coffee pot!). I hope you can get some sleep in there somewhere!
