But there's just so much to do! I really don't understand how all the stuff we had crammed in the apartment has somehow expanded to completely fill a house twice the size. Is there a law of physics that governs moving? Stuff always expands to fill the space available, something like that?
The kitchen is close to being done. One side is finished, the other is about 60% done. I'm hoping to get it complete tomorrow, but there's a fair amount of painting to do.
Here's what the original kitchen looked like:
And here's what the cabinets look like painted with new hardware:
I'm so happy with how it's turning out - nicer than I really could have imagined. The only issue is the lack of space, but I have some ideas for additional storage that may work out...
We're going to replace the crappy closet system in our room with a decent rod and shelf system. The existing one is terrible - you basically have to hang things up one item at a time, and it's very annoying. The room is a total disaster because we haven't had a chance to put up any additional shelving yet either, so there's nowhere to put any of the 8 zillion t-shirts we own (why do we have so many t-shirts??).
The basement is a disaster area, but we did find someone to take the chest freezer away, so hopefully once we have unimpeded access to our crawl space we can stuff all the crap into storage and forget about it. And the spare room needs work too. AUGH.
