From House To Home

Door Color – Benjamin Moore Iron Mountain

We have been back at the “house” having completed the home renovation since the end of September (2014). It was a rushed process, getting all of our belongings back in and slowly unpacking. As I write this, it is May 2015.  We survived the brutal winter months of January, February, and March with record snow fall.  Julian celebrated his first birthday!  And still some of the boxes remain.

So yes, we have taken our time unpacking boxes and hanging things on the wall, as this is a huge commitment because of the potential hole left in the wall should it not be the right spot.  And yes, I have found many a Pinterest tutorial on how to lay things out, mock up the hangings with cardboard cutouts – still I hesitate. As a result the walls are a work in progress.  My mind is slowly purging itself of all the Benjamin Moore paint color names and of all the wonderful places I found to procure the items now in our home.  

Here is some proof that we have unpacked a few boxes!

I do want to share all these wonderful colors and rooms and the result of all our hard work (well, our contractor’s work) so I think I will, over the next few months. Especially as more pieces of art, school art, and photographs are hung on the wall then.

If you have moved recently, how long did your boxes stay packed?  Any good tips to share on how to tackle it all?

Until next time,
