Life Lately...We're Moving!

 You may have noticed I haven't been blogging as consistently lately or been around as much.  It's because we've been extra busy....

We bought a house! In another state (about an hour away)! Before we sold our current house! It's been a whirlwind and we haven't moved yet but it's getting close.We've been working on the new house to get it move-in ready.  That started with repainting the whole house.

My brain couldn't handle too many more decisions so I chose Simply White by Benjamin Moore (but used Behr paint from Home Depot) for the entire house. It's a warm white even though it looks super white on the paint fan.

Our painter (Mr. Click) started painting as soon as we had the popcorn ceilings removed (yup, popcorn ceilings in some of the rooms).

We had the ceilings removed starting on day 1. What a mess!

The start of the paint going on in the dining area.

We've spent many hours at the new place and "picnic" there frequently.

We also had the carpets removed from this lower level family room and the office. 

We chose LVP luxury vinyl planks for those spaces.  The floors are Lifeproof Sundance Canyon Hickory from Home Depot.

Office (BEFORE)

What a difference paint and flooring make!

We also had the upstairs floor refinished. They had been painted with a faux finish(left photo) which we didn't like. I love how the floors came out.

We had to strip some wallpaper from the upstairs hallway. Another huge mess and a lot of work but worth it.

Meanwhile back at our current house this was going on.  The house was under contract (yay!)and the home inspection revealed that the pipes from the house to the street had to be cleaned out and replaced (boo! $$$).   Then we got 24 hours of heavy rain.

We also got a beautiful snowfall. I'm glad we got one more snow before we move.

The For Sale sign was updated, getting exciting!  We've been majorly cleaning, decluttering, donating, selling, recycling, and shredding (on repeat)!  We are downsizing and it's painful but I'm glad we are going through everything now.

We went through so many boxes of old documents and receipts and got them down to two legal boxes. We took them to get shredded and it was so satisfying. Needless to say we've been really really busy but looking forward to being in ONE smaller house soon.

I got a new "do" and I'm loving the shorter length.  I hope to have more new house posts soon. I hope you'll stick around for our latest adventure!
