Whew...what a day. I finally got our bedroom organized and now all of the boxes are out of the house! WOO HOO! Those of you who have recently moved (or have EVER moved!) will join me in this celebration! There are only TWO boxes left and they are out in the garage with a bunch of the Hubster's survival stuff in them. I'm letting him go through those :-) He really is extremely lucky...coming home to a house that is completely unpacked and organized! He won't have to open but TWO stinkin' boxes! How did he work that out ;-) I think I've opened a thousand boxes! Here are some random thoughts and highlights from today...
Our room looks somewhat normal! I HATE the white walls but they're fine for now. I'm not in a hurry to paint our room. The nursery, guest room, and dining room are next on my to-do list.
Our bookshelf is now back in business.
Decorations that are waiting for a big strong man to hang them ;-)
The closet is now organized...somewhat. (It may not look organized to the untrained eye but trust me...everything has a "place") We don't have a dresser yet so finding a place for everything was difficult...hence so many piles on the top rack. But if moving has taught me anything it's that nothing is permanent, I just have to make it work until we get a new dresser!
This AMAZES me. How in the world did we end up with THIS. MANY. HANGERS?! I swear they multiplied when we moved! ha! For now they're being stored in the guest room...but seriously who has this many "extra" hangers?!
When unpacking the bedroom I came across these blue decorative balls that my mom got me, I'm not sure what to do with them so for now they'll hang out with the lemons. Any suggestions? There are just 3 of them.
My Mom suggested that I move this lamp above the fridge and I think she was right, I love it up there! :-) I have a lamp obsession and I've been slowly finding spots for all of them.
This magnet is one of my favorite wedding gifts we received, I know...a magnet as a favorite wedding gift?! But isn't it too cute? And I've started using it for my OB appointment cards...I think it's a very fitting phrase, don't you? ;-)
I also organized underneath the sink today! I love the little organizer, it created so much space! If you need to save space under your sink give this a try!
A very special guy has a birthday coming up soon and I've put this basket in the kitchen as a catch-all for birthday supplies! I have his card, presents, and fun birthday things in it. With all of the chaos I didn't want to loose anything I will need for his birthday!
The dogs are adjusting as well :-) They love getting to run up and down stairs all day. They're so cute...they just follow me around as I clean, organize and move things around...my little helpers. I cannot wait to see what they do when the Hubster comes home. They haven't seen him in almost FOUR months! I have a feeling that he will need to give them some major attention when he gets here!
Tomorrow is cleaning day AND furniture day! The rest of the furniture is FINALLY arriving! I love sharing a love seat with two my furry love muffins, but mama is ready for a BIG SOFA! :-) As for the cleaning, the house was professionally cleaned before I got here AND when I got here I deep cleaned it, BUT it's time for another cleaning! A house can never be too clean ;-)

WOW!! You are amazing! I have NEVER unpacked that quickly after a move...some boxes stayed unopened for years! You're one busy momma!! Good job! :)
I am BEYOND impressed! You are definitely nesting. Keep that baby in there about 6 more weeks! LOL!
As for the hangers...oh my. I can't seem to keep enough around here. In fact, I bought two packs today. (I've needed them for months!) I think I should've just called you! Ha!
Tomorrow will be a great day! Enjoy your reunion!

Love the organized cleaning supplies! I wish mine were so nice and pretty. We used to keep them under the sink like that until we had kids and my husband got the bright idea to forgo baby locks and just move everything dangerous to high shelves. It was weird at first because I've ALWAYS had cleaning stuff on bottom shelves. But now I LOVE it. With 3 little kids it's awesome to not have to worry about them getting into anything dangerous. And everything that is down low now (tupperware, pots and pans, extras like sponges etc) is kid friendly! Which turned out to be a really good thing because our 2nd born knows how to open any and all baby locks!
You are SO organized. And I hate to admit but you have definitely inspired me to clean my cabinet under sink. It's shameful how pitiful mine is.
Love the bedroom! I can't wait to see the baby's nursery.
just wait until you move next time! you'll be amazed at how much stuff you can collect after being married a few years! (Not to mention all the baby stuff...)
your house looks great and is coming together great. wow your husbands a lucky guy to only have to unpack 2 boxes!
have a great weekend and I cant wait to see pics of the nursery
