What can I say, other than I am so glad the move is over, and yes I am fully aware of how delayed this post is – and yes I have been trying to finish it, however in the positive side of things, here it is! After packing what seemed for weeks. Getting all that anxiety and stress. It only took less than four hours to move from one place to the other. Then, unpacking and organizing. Which I almost think its more complicated and more time-consuming. It does matter how your bookcase contents get put in a box. As long as nothing is going to break, and this box going to take the weight – no one cares.
A new place means new layouts of your cabinets and then sizes of shelves, and I have figured out too sometimes its all an optical illusion. You know that “what’s the best place for this or that,” and just thinking about it makes me want to rearrange some things around. I think I changed the cabinets for the plates around several times! Oh, the hilarity of my OCD. But the good news is that most of the new spaces are done. And let’s be honest, time is moving way to fast. Life is way too busy. But being in a new place and being what I feel like 95% done, that is an achievement, a level up in life. You know that game you play on your phone when you’re bored, that hard level and you get the three stars, that’s what I’m talking about.
The kitchen is complete perfection of space, function, and over the top organizing. Yes, my spice cabinet (See picture) is fully labeled. All the spice jars and food containers, everything has a place, my OCD went into a bit of an overdrive with this cabinet and the pantry. I think it was because I’ve never gotten a chance to do this. My last apartment had a very odd pantry. I think it’s also a trendy thing to do nowadays. I feel like organization companies are now really shinning thanks to social media and also I’ve seen a lot more books on this subject too lately ( yes they are all secretly in my Amazon wishlist.)

The living room is a comfy perfection, I’ve always said I’m a “bed-potato,” but lately, I have found my self spending more and more time on the couch. This might also be since I can’t seem to find a solution for my wifi to suck in my bedroom. I think I need to change my whole internet modem/wifi situation plus there is absolutely nowhere to plug in an extender, ugh. Regardless everything has its place, and it is somewhere you want to sit and enjoy. My bedroom is equally as lovely, and I finally have most of it done. I got this fantastic mirror from Capitol Lighting, which I am in love with. Hoping to get something, either a bench or a chair to stop putting things on the floor. Which will get resolved soon.
Everything else, I feel, is a work in progress. The Dining/Study needs a lot more work and tweaking of things. Definitely, lots of labeling which I have ordered, so that will be tackled soon. My son’s room is about 80%, I should give myself more credit, but I feel like something is missing in there. The porch is barren and needs lots of attention, which means time and money. So I am probably going to tackle this dead last. Besides it is now summer in Houston and let’s face it, the only reason I would want anything out there would be to get my tan on.
