Before

Tons of stuff with no place yet to put them. Disorganization drives me crazy!! 

Not only that, but when we moved in w,e noticed a huge number of things that needed fixing. 

*Item number one: the washer and dryer. They were not there. When they came the next day, we found out there was no vent for the dryer so a portable vent had to be purchased and the washer wouldn't work because the drain was plugged. We moved in on Thursday but didn't get to use the washer until Monday night. Ugh! (What fun Alex and I had doing all the laundry though!! He loved watching the washer fill up and agitate.) 

*Item number two: the dining room light didn't work. We got a new one put in Monday.

*Item number three:  replace two wall plugs.

*Item number four: no fridge light. Apparently it was a little finicky. Got it working quickly enough.

*Item number five: no mailbox keys. Got them to punch out the old lock and rekey it yesterday.

There are more that I could list, but its a little boring already.

Anyway. We are happy here now with all this stuff fixed and the majority of our things put away. The kitchen is a bit smaller than the last, so it is a challenge- mainly having the pantry in the nook by the coat closet. (You can see it in the top of the picture. We are using bookshelves. So far it works.)
