Stuff/Junk/Crap/I don't say that other word

There's no time like when you move to realize how much stuff/junk/crap you have. I never really realized it until we put it all in one room to get ready for the move. Here's half of it:



There was still some stuff here:



And here:



And here:



And the thing is, we don't even have a whole lot of stuff. Compared to people who are older and have been married a long time, we really don't have much at all. But these pictures make me a little sick inside, knowing I have all this crap and some people can't even put food on the table for their family. The move has definitely made me more grateful for what I have, and we've realized we can live a lot more simply. So, we gave a lot of things away, and we put some things in storage (aka our parent's basements/garages). The whole moving weekend was a blur, and I'm just glad it's over now.

So... pictures of the new place, as promised:

"Oh, hi. Welcome to our new home! We love our new home, because mommy found the cat nip while we were packing to move, and we ate it alllllll while they were away this weekend. Puuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr."

(they're telling the truth)

Front door (ok, only door)


Dining room (still in need of a few pictures)


Living room, this is also where I give lessons

(Can you tell Delilah needs a little attention?)



Laundry room


Kitchen




Bathroom


Where the magic happens


Messy sewing corner- we had room for it! just barely...


That's about it! I finally got back to some sewing this weekend. I made two aprons, so pics to come of those soon!

I know what you mean, in some ways I'm dreading when we buy our own place and have to move. On the other hand, new house! Your new house looks lovely, I especially like the room the front door comes into, it looks really welcoming.
