Our shipment arrived on Sunday, shortly after the painters showed up to continue their slothlike work in our three bedrooms. It wasn’t exactly the best arrangement. We told the movers to shove all 117 boxes in the living room, which had been painted earlier in the week. Then we waited … and waited … and waited for the painters to finish the bedrooms so we could start unpacking. Today is Friday, and the painters are STILL not finished.
This is the color in my study. It’s dramatically brighter and pinker than I had anticipated.
The movers conferring about how to haul all the junk out of two trucks up our narrow staircase.
Problem solved! They passed the big stuff up to the balcony.
The living room fills up.
The moving company, Santa Fe Relocation Services, did a great job. Some of our wooden items have a bit of mildew, and a small piece of wood broke off our Chinese daybed (which also happened when we moved it to Laos), but otherwise we haven’t found any major damage.
Our wonderful new housekeeper has already unpacked all the kitchen boxes and tried to find places for everything, despite the lack of drawers. That’s right: NO drawers in the kitchen. Tony and I have dragged most boxes back to the bedrooms to create some space in the living/dining area for some living and dining. Eventually I suppose we’ll unpack the rest. But not until the painters finish… See a pattern here?
It’s pretty.
I love seeing your pics and would love to comment on them all, but I can barely find my computer through all the paperwork on my desk. You know how it is.
miss you,
Amy
