Week 1 // Week 2 // Week 3 // Week 4 Week 5 of the One Room Challenge FLEW by. I definitely didn’t accomplish as much this week as previous weeks.

Happy April 1st! March was an eventful month for us. We planned a trip to Italy, went to Italy, and oh – our MoveCube arrived! It was delivered on March 7th, and it’s been great getting reacquainted with everything we packed in boxes 8 months ago. But before we could start enjoying our possessions, we had … More The Things Are Here!!!
Way back in July, we filled a big wooden crate with all of our possessions to be shipped to the UK. We knew the shipping process would take a long time (about 3 months). We knew there was some risk involved. We forged ahead, reasoning that risks and some unpleasantness are unavoidable with an international … More Living Room Update/Horrors of Shipping

I really wasn’t sad to see it go at the time, but living in an unfurnished cottage for a few days definitely made me miss our homey apartment in San Diego. As it turns out, buying all new furniture is expensive, so we’ve … More Dressing Up Ikea Tables
