We moved to our new house this past weekend.
We’ve moved a LOT the last two years. I’m DONE. We’ve signed a 3 year lease to the most AWESOME 4 bedroom/3 bath house that sits RIGHT next to the VanderGiessen’s. How awesome is that???
However, in our move, though we have a pretty amazing kitchen… we found that we don’t actually have a pantry here. We didn’t have enough space for all our kitchen stuff and food… so off to IKEA I went.
LOOK AT WHAT I FOUND!?!?!?!
This buffet came DISASSEMBLED in two boxes. I’m not kidding when I say there were a BAJILLION little pieces. Brian put this all together BY HIMSELF (ok… Nick Lind helped a little) with very little leftover pieces. That, my friends, is a success.
The best part was this piece was originally $329. But I got it yesterday ON SALE for $189.
I’ve lovingly named her “Buffy Clayville”. You can come over and see her if you’d like… and me too, I guess. That’s just added incentive.
I, now, have my WHOLE kitchen unpacked. Now… for the rest of the house.
A place for everything and everything in it’s place.
Looks great!! Maybe Evelyn and I could come over one day this week and help you unpack… let me know if there is a day that works. We would love to help!!
xo
As if seeing the first piece of IKEA self-built furniture that had less than 27 left-over parts isn’t incentive enough.
Ahh…love finding something that suits a need on a great deal and looks good, too! Nicely done! Congrats on your successful move. And now I’m wondering…when were you at IKEA last…because we were just there on Saturday.
I love unpacking. And organizing. And decorating.
When I moved into my condo I had everything put away and all pictures hung on the wall before I went to bed that first night. It was so.much.fun.
Not that I’d want to do it again anytime soon or anything. [and i really like buffy.]
oh, i bet you are SO much more at ease now. hooray… i am glad it fits and looks good since you got such a great deal on it.
What a great find! Our first house didn’t have a pantry and it was a pain trying to find places to put everything. Wish I would have had something like your buffet back then.
We’ve been praying for you and Brian and all that you’re going through. We are praying that you will have peace and unity during this difficult season. Please let us know if there’s anything that we can be doing to help you. Holly is so blessed to have you as her friend.
I am definitely MUCH more at ease now. “Organizing” is my healer.
Stephanie… you are more than welcome to come over for a playdate, but you should know that I’ll be fully unpacked, organized and pictures hung by Wednesday… if not tomorrow.
Gitz… GIRL… I would be totally unpacked and settled by now if it weren’t for these three boys I live with.
Buffet table…i like the sound of that. honestly i didnt even read the post i just got excited by the name and had to say something.
