Adventures at The Bunny Manse

Our stuff was in TROSA storage from September 17th 2013 until yesterday. They unloaded the piano, the love seat, boxes of books, plates, glasses, linens, and all sorts of other lovely things that make us feel like we have a HOME. So yes, we need to hang the picture rail so we can hang art on the walls again. Harris and Madeline are unpacking boxes and setting up rooms. Then will begin the great list of 'things we would like for the house' (e.g. better curtains, a chair here, a work table there, etc.) and we've already started the great 'why did we pay to store these items, I thought we were getting rid of them' decluttering. The elliptical and lazy boy went away yesterday and there is a box full of linens that we're going to take to the thrift for different reasons (panels too short, not enough panels, mismatched sheets). We have more unpacking to do, then some repacking to do (2yr old clothes can go in the attic once they are neatly packed and sealed),...

We are still unpacking, organizing, and getting things in order. This weekend saw Harris put the polishing touches on the kitchen (still no countertops, need to make a material decision there this week) while I created an art and painting area for Madeline.  Our temporary pantry set up next to the microwave and fridge. I'm really really glad I insisted on the compact counter-depth model, otherwise this area would have been overpowered by the fridge. We added a couple of shelving things to the pantry and it functions as a food storage area now.     The area by the stove. We decided this weekend that we're going to tile the fireplace. It will take care of the weird surface and provide an accent of an accent. We're thinking painted glass tiles right now, but haven't started shopping yet. We only need about 40 square feet so we have a lot more options available to us.   Madeline's art area. This used to be a window that's totally gone and boar...
