Curtains Going Up

WASHING the lace panels that hung in the COTTAGE have migrated across the county line to our new location.  A set of lace curtains were hung on Sunday in the Dining room and another set for a Bedroom went up last night.  

LACE PANELS FROM RETIREMENT COTTAGE

RODS were installed on the wood window frame for lace panels in the Bedroom.  Like the look.  Simplicity.  As we wait for the wood Bedroom furniture to be returned from being refinished our Bedroom is very basic.  

The mattress and box springs on a bed roller were the first to enter the room.  Mattress pad cover and bed sheets made up the bed.  A THRIFT purchase of taupe colored bed covering and pillow shams were placed on the plump bed.  

Night stands with lamps beside the bed.  A Victorian settee with matching chairs were next.  Lace curtains and a electric fan on a stand.  Clothes are slowly appearing in the cedar lined closets.

Pretty sure that the Victorian Parlour Set will travel across the hall to a small grey and white bedroom that will become my Office and Doll room combo.  I will not know how to behave with my own Office.  

It will be a few weeks before the office desk is relocated to this room.  I have walked around the house figuring where pieces of furniture will rest.  

This shouldn't be a tough job, but I tend to use a lot of brain cells figuring this out.  Furniture can be moved about after they make their way to the house if the pieces are not too bulky or heavy.

I went through more boxes that are in the Living room in stacked piles.  Not finished yet.  Sweating as I make headway.  By the end of the week, these boxes should be gone from the Living room.  Hope.  

This month is going right on by as SUMMER is now here.  We had such a lovely SPRING, but I did not sit outside sipping mint juleps or iced tea very much as I was too busy working on recovering from the fire.  THIS SUMMER will be used to finish moving from RETIREMENT COTTAGE into HOME.SWEET.HOME.

It really is important to take time to breathe and think pleasant thoughts, so YESTERDAY with a fan blowing on me I took a nice long afternoon NAP.  I needed it as I am overwhelmed with being a one woman crew.  I need my Husband's muscles and wit.

TODAY, Lil Miss was at my side as we took care of loading more goodies to take to the new location and did some laundry.  A quick trip to the Library and a drive to our new town.  

WEDNESDAY will be here soon.  Back to unloading some more boxes, more laundry and time to thumb through a magazine or two.  Probably will have hamburgers from the grill for supper as I need to shuffle boxes and move a book shelf to the trunk of the car to relocate to the house across the county line.  It will have to be a slow evening as I know my body will be aching and need a rest.

MOVING IS WORK if you ask me.  A work in motion.  

All the best and looking forward to SUMMER TIME.  
Thanks for stopping by,
