Guys, tomorrow's the big day! Daniel comes tonight, we load up today and tomorrow, head to our new home tomorrow, and unload Sunday. Let the long-awaited insanity begin ... or continue.
1~ I think I have 98% of everything packed up. It's really been just me packing up all of our stuff, thanks to the space of time between Daniel's job already starting a couple weeks ago and our apartment not being ready until this week. It's a crazy thing packing up two people's stuff by yourself! (But then I've always been the independent kind when it comes to multi-step tasks like this. I just have to do it all myself!)
2~ I have to say, our new apartment is pretty small. And it's not so much that it's literally small by square feet but that it is laid out so odd, in such a way that only makes it seem smaller. Our last apartment was quite small, but it was long, so it seemed bigger. This new one is basically just, walk in and here it all is!
Needless to say, it's going to take some creativity to find room for living space, storage space, and my jewelry office area. But it is soo close to Daniel's new job that that will pretty well outweigh the drawbacks. I'm ready to get down there and size it all up and see what we can figure out. Ideas like these will probably be giving me some inspiration:
3~ Did you catch this post of mine on Wednesday? Some of my insight into vacationing while chronically ill.
4~ Speaking of insight, you just have to read this post from The Tiny Twig that I found through 34 Magnolia Street. If you've ever felt like life is so, so short and you have to hurry and do everything (yes, some of us feel that way and don't need the warnings about how short life is), read this. Life changing, not exaggerating.
5~ And did you see the new premade designs I've added to my shop recently that I shared yesterday? Like I said I would, I've now added a custom favicon listing to my shop, but a free custom favicon is still up for grabs!

Have a great weekend you guys! Sadly we don't have Internet in
the apartment yet, so my next time here may get delayed...
But next time you "see" me, I'll be in my new home in North Carolina--with Daniel! :D

When I was reading about your small apt I was about to say pinterest has some great ideas but I see you have that covered haha. Good luck with your move!
ReplyDeleteI lived in a tiny apartment in college and I totally made my closet into my desk area! I took the doors off and it was actually one of my favorite spaces in the entire apartment!! Good luck with everything!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new apartment!! I'm definitely looking around for some decor inspiration as well while the hubs and I are looking for a new place!!
ReplyDeleteIll have to share the post about vacationing while chronically ill with my sister. Thanks!

Thanks so much, Jennifer! Have a great weekend! :)
DeleteI'm sooooo excited for you guys!!!!! :) I get so excited when other people move, haha. (I think part of this has to do with the fact that I actually do love to move, live in new places.) I'll be looking forward to hearing all about it! (PS- check out apartmenttherapy.com - they have TONS of ideas for how to work with small spaces.)
