Someone is about to lie to you

I'm completely unpacked and everything has been put away. The move is done! 


No, not really. That's a lie. There are still plenty of boxes laying around and loads of stuff that needs to find a place to live. But it's better than the picture above from a week and a half ago.

So even though the place is still an absolute mess there are a couple new pieces being added. I went to West Elm last night and ordered


a couple of these chairs (on the left, not the stool) for seating at the island,


bought this rug, which is too small for the dining room area where I intended to put it but feels great on the tootsies so I'm keeping it, and a box and candle just for fun.

Still on the hunt for a rug for the dining room, soon I'll figure out that I need some other things that aren't on the radar right now, and someday I'll start thinking about the yard. I did buy something fun for the front door but that's also on order and won't ship for another month or two. I'm thinking it'll take about 8 more weeks before it starts feeling like home.
