Signed, Sealed, Delivered - It's Ours!

In the (almost) words of Stevie Wonder, Signed, Sealed, Delivered – Its Ours! This revised version of the song has been playing through my head all day. Here is a fun fact- that song was released 5 years AFTER our house was built! 

I few hours after finalizing the deal, HM and I had to celebrate by heading over to the house. To give the excursion some purpose, we decided to take a few delicate and hard to box items over so that they don’t get broken during the big move (scheduled for the end of next week). We also wanted to give Buckley a chance to check out his new stamping grounds. And yes, his red, white and blue hair is fading to pink.

During the visit, I also dropped off the supplies for my bathroom project. The floor tiles are still on their way, but I was able to get the subway tiles and tools I need to start the shower. Even if this DIY project turns out terrible (which it won’t) the old Girl Scout in me will find comfort in the fact that I will still be leaving the place better than I found it. Case in point:

 A few other things we took care of while we were there was taking measurements for the new appliances. I have the model numbers and specs of the ones I want to order, but I want to confirm that they will fit. We are not working with standard sizes so they must be special ordered from Home Depot. Why new appliances? Because I am way too young to understand this mess:

When looking at the apartment kitchen in the picture below, try squinting your eyes and imagining bright white cabinets, fresh paint on the walls, thoughtful lighting and new white appliances. Ahhh, it will be the kitchen where summer salad memories are made!
