Whenever you move into a house that is more than double the size of your previous house you need to buy lots of stuff. Often, when you upgrade your house you are buying something more expensive and so you don't have a lot of cash around to buy said stuff. As a result you need to prioritize and take baby steps.
Baby steps for us is getting some furniture from my Grandma's house. This may not be our forever furniture but it is excellent quality and will do the trick to fill the rooms. This weekend we are going to Grandma's house and will get a dining room table, 2 twin beds, a desk, a dining room server, maybe a triple dresser, maybe a wardrobe, and maybe a china cabinet thingie. We rented a 10 foot UHaul and enlisted the help of Mr. Bestie and Bestie's Dad.
As far as prioritizing the stuff we need to actually buy, here's how it breaks down according to me (subject to Mr. Molly's re-prioritization since he controls the budget):
Cindy had this in the laundry room and tore it off the wall and took it with her. In my mind, it would be here when I got here and so now I need to buy one.
We have nothing to sit on in the basement to watch the
new 60in TV so we need the above leather sectional and ottoman. Mr. Molly thinks that leather is more kid-resistant than fabric.
You may not know what the above picture represents. It is residential window tinting. We need it on the floor to ceiling windows in the great room so our furniture doesn't get totally faded. As it is, we love having the blinds up but have to lower them every day to protect the furniture and it kills me. Also the blinds are disgustingly dirty. Thanks Cindy.
We have enough space. There's really no excuse not to have one. It's probably unnecessary for me to state this, but that girl running on the treadmill is not Molly.
