Our last weekend in this home has come to a close. There has been plenty of packing happening as we send load after load off in my in-law’s truck. It’s starting to look laughably stark around here. It’s a strange thing after being packed to the gills in this space for so long.
These have been long days. Late bedtimes, late nights, paint rollers, garden digging, baseboards and plinths. Packing boxes, moving shelves, uncovering long lost marbles and dinky cars. Bike rides, little boys as race cars, painted toddlers, and shifting light. Friends with ice cream and a newborn, a friend with a paintbrush and work gloves, friends with offers of moving and meals.
So much goodness in these busy days.
Transformation, elbow grease, cold feet, and excitement – this is how we’ve spent our weekend.

How did you spend yours? We’ve a got a showing today in our house that is pretty much torn apart – I’ve got lots of cleaning to do but stop by and distract me for a few minutes okay??
Looks like you have enough to do to keep you busy.
Love the purple paint!
We’ve spent most of our weekend indoors due to heavy rain (and snow) and wind. Not much spring feelinf in our parts of the world…
Have a great week!
That yellow is fantastic, and the arm paint delightful. So glad you are there. Fingers crossed on the house sale
Oh, how exciting! And bittersweet, I know. I’m so happy for this journey your family will be continuing in your new home. xo
Bittersweet that you are leaving your home to your new home 🙂
Excitement! Good luck!
excited for you! goodbye old home, hello new!
Yay to the new house! So excited to see how things come together.
I know you are sad to leave, but there is so much promise in the future! I hope you settle in quickly!
Good luck with the showing! I love that a new house is becoming a new home! 🙂
I love the huge windows and lots of sunlight! And looks like lots more fun space to run around (though maybe not with all the projects you have on the go now to really make it your home 🙂 )
So exciting, keep the stories coming when you can find a free second or two! 🙂
I spent my holiday weekend packing and moving and cleaning. Pretty similar to yours, very chaotic. A very short move just to the downstairs apartment, but so so much work. I feel it will take a year to unpack it all.
You guys have been busy! So much to do with a big move like yours, but soon you’ll all be settled. All the best!
