Unpacking

"Unpacking" - what a wonderful word. This time, it means that our renovations are nearly complete... complete enough where we can unpack some of our belongings and try to bring some sense of normality back into our lives.

This past weekend, we unpacked! Why tell you with words when we have pictures?!?!

First, we remove the tarp. Wow - stuff!

Sean rolls up the tarp. Or maybe he's doing a Child's Pose yoga move. Should I tell him that its not a yoga mat?

Kitchen

There was this pink film on the stove... apparently, it dissolves in water. A few swipes with a rag and voila - like new :)

The box that held our stove grates.

Door bumpers. They're the cutest thing ever.

Measuring & placing the shelf liners.

Dividers and first item in the drawers - our wok!

We found the very important coffee box (the drawing is clouds parting and the coffee pot arriving from on high - personally, I think it looks like a transformer)

Sean pays his respects to the coffee pot.

Drawers are filled!

Cupboards are filled!

Leftovers in the fridge since we can now microwave.

A bottle of wine in our new wine cubby.

Pretty vase with our spatulas and such.

Bedroom

Vacuuming and mopping to remove the 6 weeks of dust and plaster.

We attempted to move the bed without disassembling it. The doorways wouldn't have it. The bed disassembled very easily - which is a little worrisome as we used wood glue when we originally put it together, so it should have been - well, near impossible to take apart.

Well some things are still out of sorts - no working outlets in the kitchen yet. Though we may be onto something... stumbling out of bed and getting coffee within 2 ft ain't so shabby.

Bathroom

Not too much to do here yet... just hanging shower curtains. Which was a little hard to do when we could only find two curtain rings. Luckily, some scrummaging through boxes labeled bathroom (who would have thought a box labeled with bathroom would have bathroom stuff?!?!) and we uncovered the rest.

We're all moved in - again :)
