Moving is hard

I hate moving! I could read a million books on the subject of moving and I would still suck at it! Luckily I have family and friends for help!  I threw a house warming in our new clean and empty house and I absolutely forgot to take pictures but, let me discribe the scene.  It was from 2-4PM Sunday the ninth of Feburary.  We tried serving an appetizer in each room... That quickly changed and moved all food into  the dining room.  It seemed that once a person saw the house once over they were defiantly content on hanging out in the dining room/kitchen/back porch/or living room.  So, leaving fabulous brownies in the back  bedroom just felt stupid not clever as I had originally thought.

We had a good friend lend us 8 or so folding chairs for those of who wanted to stay awhile or couldn't stand for very long.  Good thing to because they were defiantly used.  There were no decorations and the house had nothing in it yet, not even one framed photo on the wall.  My husband and I had basically rented a room for the past three years so anything we have as far as home decor, living furniture and the like has been limited to my craft space and our small bedroom which we had attempted to store our old apartment in.  (TV, bed, dresser, book shelf, computer, and the like). Since I didn't want people to see our house in that sparse condition I felt the only good time to have people over would be when it was still empty.  So, everyone came to the house to see it in its natural state.  Maybe we will have a BBQ later so everyone can see it more designed. :/

One cute thing I did do and wish I had done better was post a page in each room except the bathrooms and kitchen of our future plans for each room.  I used Pinterest to create five distinct boards with about 5-7 images that I felt best discribed our decor ideas for each room. I wish I had printed a bigger image because they printed out at about 5x7" so the images were really tiny.  The idea was still there and I liked that.  So did the people who noticed it.  The turn out was great and friends and family have been so generous with there time and gifts.  We couldn't be more grateful.  

Stick around because once I stick my head back on my shoulders I'm going to show you all sorts of household hints, tips and tricks I've picked up since buying a home and some DIY on decorating.

Love you all readers and hope to see you soon!
