How many times do we get to watch someone else agonize to organize? Or see real-life do-overs on rooms, rather than the magical makeover that happens in a single 30-minute segment of HGTV?
Well, here's your chance to peer over our shoulders and watch our progress as we paint and pack, and repeatedly answer the question, "what am I gonna do with THIS?" (whether it be a location that needs a little something, or a something-or-other that needs a spot to call home.) All those questions of what-goes-where in the new space must be answered. Your input is - of course - welcome.
So stay tuned. Starting today, bedrooms are changing colors. Later this week, the dining room is going to get a color transformation, too - red walls and green-ish window treatments are just not me, and definitely not a good backdrop for my violet china or my good dishes.
In the meantime, the bathroom shower has already gone from fiberglass and peeling paint to stud walls:
Next week will be the all-important arranging of the kitchen, moving my beloved Fiestaware, figuring out a new (smaller) pantry system, and generally getting kitchen and bathrooms in working order. Then there will be decisions on furniture placement for the living areas and bedrooms.
Last but not least is the conversion of the bonus room into a bona fide University of Tennessee man-cave, and picking out a sectional sofa and other accouterments after we get fully moved in.

Not to mention getting my greenhouse taken down, put back up, and new gardens and plants installed in the landscape here.
Yeah, this is gonna be a fast, furious and fun few days. Strap in and hang on tight - it could be a bumpy ride but it promises to be a pretty fun adventure!
Happy home-making,
