New House - Part 5

It's been just over a week now since we moved into the new house. I absolutely love our place.

Even though we aren't fully unpacked and have boxes everywhere the place is still so peaceful. Plus I feel less stressful. I think that is because I know if I need to get something done like the laundry I don't have to kill myself doing it or worrying about having enough quarters. Plus we don't have to deal with the screaming kids or the cigarette smoke coming in an open window. My main worry now is where do I put stuff and how should I decorate.

It's fun opening up boxes and deciding on where to put things. I started with the kitchen and I kept finding more cabinets and drawers. We have enough space that if we wanted to put all the small appliances away and clear off the counters entirely we could. There are a few places that I wish there were more shelves or drawers. Like in the hall closet and the master bath, but I'm getting used to it and getting creative on where I put things.

There is 1 major flaw about the house that drives me insane at times. It's that the garage door and laundry room door hit each other when you have both doors open in the laundry room at the same time. They needed to make either the laundry room door a pocket door or make the laundry room 4 inches bigger. It was the same problem on the model home and when we bought the place I totally forgot about it otherwise I would have had the builder fix the problem.

Besides that 1 problem the place is perfect. With it being a 4 bedroom 2 bath home we have more than enough room for the 2 of us and our 2 cats.
