happy homemaker
Signing on the house this afternoon at 4:00! We should almost certainly have keys in our hands by around noon tomorrow. It's really happening!
I should be packing instead of writing this, but I'm taking a quick break to check in with my peeps and order this rug for the new living room (in tarragon) and two of these chairs:
Big dorks that we are, we've decided to go with a "sky and cosmos" theme for the upstairs (blues and whites with some touches of silver and bright orange accents in Sagan's room) and a "earth and water" theme for the main floor (greens, warm wood, and deep blues). The lower level where our office will be is pretty dark, so I'm thinking it's kind of "underground", but I'm not very into browns so I haven't quite figured that out yet. We do have a lot of black and dark wood furniture going down there, so that's probably enough right there to make it feel like a hobbit hole. Maybe some red accents... touches of pale turquoise to keep it from being painfully dim...
I love planning this stuff. And packing and unpacking and putting everything in order. But not the actual moving part. I'm hoping we can get that out of the way fast with plenty of helpers on Saturday.
Also, can I just say, I can't believe I (with tons of help from arielmeow and others) pulled off BenCon!!! What a freaking amazing party that turned out to be. I haven't had a decent night's sleep in ages, but I'm so energized right now. Whee!
