Moving Day, At Last

Things are moving so fast that I can't keep track of what day is what. I have been sleeping at the new house since New Years Eve which was LOUD here, with fireworks from around 9pm til way past 1am. I didn't have window coverings then and was entertained in my bed, by the pyrotechnics provided by my neighbors. Just my bed and chair got moved that day, and well, the tv was part of that too. My tiny life takes place in just my bedroom. ha!

But I have been making moving trips in my car daily so lots of stuff is here already. I don't really pack. I just have bins which I fill and then unpack and put the stuff away and return with the empties for the next round. I've moved before, as you know, and this time it is a really short 5 minutes between houses. 

There is also the black garbage bag trick. I bought a box of those and put stuff that won't fit in a bin and move it that way. Yarn overflow has been brought to the new house in those bags and when I open them later it will be like yarny Christmas again.

I've invested in these metal shelving units, which I first had three houses ago as a pantry and had to leave them them at that house (pooh!), so I found them again online and ordered three sets at $29.99 each, but today I looked and they cost more now (?) They will be used as linen storage in my bedroom walk-in closet, fused fabric and garment fabric storage in the studio, and are lightweight and easily moved, which as you know I do often. I have two big shelved closets in this new house and they will hold art supplies, and solve that problem, keeping everything accessible but hidden.

I was all set to do the decor as Black and White, like an urban high rise condo, ( as if!) and even had a quilt in mind to finish as the inspiration.

But then I got 'persuaded by Pinterest'...haven't we all been there? Now I have a new plan. ha! Key West, Acapulco, Cancun, Jamaica, the whole Caribbean. 

Tropical color is so ME! What has prevented me from doing this before?
