I’m up late prepping for the move. It’s hard to believe that our three years in this cute little townhouse, our first home, is coming to a close… Of course we’ll be off to new adventures, but I can’t help but be a little sad thinking about how we’ve made this house a home, the fun memories we’ve had here, my experiments in design, and all the great friends we have here.
As I look around my chaotic, piled, disastrous living room…
isn't this just the saddest scene?!
…I realized I never really shared many pics of my house! Here are a few shots of the living and dining rooms at Christmas before they were totally dismantled for the move.

It was kind of an awkward space and Husband really wanted 2 sofas for maximum entertaining seating, so this was the best arrangement we could come up with. We just sold the big leather one on Craigslist today – the proceeds are going toward Husband’s man chair fund!

The dining set was my parents’ when they first got married – I love the sentimentality! It really needs to be refinished, but that’s another project for another day. And yes, I know the chandelier isn’t centered above the table…we never got around to re-hanging it and the wire wasn’t long enough to swag it! Lots of laughs have been had in that dining area…

Our first little home. 
Home, you’ve been good to us!
If I get around to it, I’ll try to take pics of a few other rooms…most are already in shambles and I never got to take good pics of them beforehand.

Sad to see you go! But excited for your adventure!
*sniff* *sniff*
So sad you’re leaving, but excited to see all the new projects that are sure to come!
By the way, every time I see your posts now, I can’t help but think about the old Beanland song, Doreatha. The lead singer is from Vicksburg and he mentions it in the song.

You need to take a pic of your basement…it turned out so well! I know your Mississippi adventure will be wonderful!!! Besides, gives us another place to visit
love you and Luke,

Enjoy your new adventure. No matter how exciting a move is, it is still hard to leave your “home”. I had a hard time leaving Kuwait even though all along I knew it was temporary. So many memories, so much work, time, etc…
I have the same sideboard I believe. I got it from an aunt in the late 70′s and used it as a dresser for years. Mercy. I can’t believe I’ve had it for over 30 years.
Good luck on your move and so sorry I missed that sofa sale.
Thanks for following me! HOpe the house reno goes well for you. I’ll look forward to your progress and compare our two identical twin house floorplans! Have a great weekend. xo sharon
