Well, I shouldn't say 'we' because I'm pretty restricted on what I'm allowed to do. But over the last few weeks we have been making our plan for moving into our new house!
Since we will be doing a lot of laundry, we've made the laundry room one of the projects that we'd like to finish before moving in. We've picked out paint, a counter-top for over the washer and dryer and new cabinets that Michael and his dad are going to work on so they are ready for the new washer and dryer to be delivered in a few weeks. I'm really excited because our laundry room is not only going to be used a TON with 2 sets of baby clothes, but the top of the front loading machines will also double as our changing table (hint the counter-top needed). The laundry room is conveniently located between the two rooms that will be the nurseries and makes it so it's one last 'duplicate' item that we need to purchase! Inspiration? Pinterest... does it surprise you? The photo below is what really got my wheels turning and now looking back after the last few weeks of deciding on items, we pretty much have an identical theme going (blue/gray paint, white cabinets along with almost identical washer and dryer):
Before we move in we have a long list of other things that Michael and his dad are going to accomplish including configuring 3 closets (our walk-in and both baby's rooms- thankfully we got GREAT ideas looking at how Alicia did Lexie and Kenzie's closets), storage shelves in the garage, securing the fence to make sure the dogs can't find a place to dig their way out, pressure washing the outside and of course cleaning the inside of the house.
Phew... talk about a LOT of work. I am not allowed to do much (and have 3 sets of eyes on me making sure I don't), but I have been cleared to clean reachable surfaces with non-toxic products! YAY! Anyone who knows me knows that I have a VERY hard time sitting and watching others work and really like to be involved helping, so I'm glad I won a very small portion of all the things that need to be done. :)
