We have unpacked all of the absolutely necessary items, but there are still boxes upon boxes! It's all a bit overwhelming and I am really not motivated. So I'm going back to what I've been told many times... start small. I thought the best place to start small would be the front entry. It's a place we travel frequently and having all those boxes, bags, STUFF everywhere is a bit of a tripping hazard. Also, it's the first thing we see when we walk in the door and to see all of that STUFF is a real downer. It does not make me love my new home. It's all about love people!
Here is a picture from the front door looking in:
And here is a picture from the other side:
Those pictures make me think of those "how many objects can you find" games. How many can you find? Haha, I kid. Okay, time to stop playing games and get to work! I set my timer for 5 minutes and off I went! I had to reset the timer a few times, but I managed to get all the stuff put away AND take out the trash (it was sitting by the front door and I managed to leave it out of all the pictures - you're welcome! lol). Grand total time: 20 minutes! Not too shabby! I even put the stuff that was in boxes away. I didn't just move it to a different spot. :)
Here are the after pics:
Ahh! Doesn't that look so much better? And now you can see one of my favorite parts of our new home: the bookshelf/vignette! Eeeeek! So excited! I can't wait to decorate it and make it all purty, but we'll save that for another post. For now, my couch is calling my name!
