Most of the furniture (except for that exercise bike!)
What a difference those clean walls made.It really wasn’t easy-peasy at all with baby Jack around, and I had to be all mentally prepared and stuff, but now I’m so happy I did it.
It’s so fresh and clean in there now!.We got a new grey rug that was much much bigger than the old red one before.It’s just a cheapo, but having that big clean surface for kids to play on makes the room feel so much more usable.
When it gets stray pieces sticking out from Chuck and his long nails, we just give it a little hair cut.. After those basics were taken care of, I’ve just slowly been adding things here and there, following some little rules I made for this room in my head and now this room makes me jump for joy.Sometimes literally.
It’s a little weird, but my family is mostly used to me now..
Here are some of my little rules:.Moving into a lower priced market often allows you to create an instant savings account for yourself through the sale of your old house.
This savings is absolutely necessary.If you’re doing the old farmhouse thing, there WILL be costly things that come up when you’re least expecting it.
If at least one person in the household doesn’t already have a job lined up in the new town, a savings account can save your sanity.We were able to find work right away when we moved to our new town, so that was nice to be able to keep us from getting nervous about our risky new adventure.
