On The Way Out

Hope the move goes smoothly! Not sure which I dislike more... the packing or unpacking. Both seem kinda chaotic no matter how organized you are. Always nice to be moving to more space though. Hav fun!

Cool. Thanks for sharing. I know you must be overwhelmed.
Looking forward to seeing some "On the way In" photos and then some "Finally In!" ones. :)

I love how you have the little lockers...what a great idea. Congrats on the move and rediscovering old (now new) products!

Yeah, that's a good question. I'm going to lean toward "unpacking" being slightly better, since you're excited (usually) about the new place.
I'm one of those really bad movers, though, that takes at least a year before every box is finally unpacked. It's just so overwhelming and I'm not good choosing places for things.

Congrats on the move Ali - I hope it goes smoothly for all of you. I can't wait to see pictures of the new place - so exciting to move to a bigger spot. All the best!

I'm so looking forward to seeing what you do with your new space!

Wishing you lots of inspiration & insight as your transition from one home and work space to another. (And yes, can't wait to see photos!)

Is the camera among the kids to be last ones out? :) Sending you happy moving thoughts.

good luck! just cleaning is enough of a chore...moving is definitely the ultimate organizational challenge! Can't wait to see what your new space looks like!

Congrats Ali, and good luck! I have to admit I'm going to miss seeing shots of your current house - I love it! I'm sure the new place will be fantastic as well :) Keep calm and carry on. . .

wow, even your mess looks organized :) best wishes for your move!

Ali,
Good luck with the move and organization. We are also in the process of moving (from Boulder, Colorado to Portland, Oregon).
I am almost done going through all of my scrapbook stuff, too. We are downsizing, though, so I had to reduce my stuff by more than half! I found a good friend to give it to so she can start scrapping. At least I know the items will be put to use.
My mantra has been to tackle an area for decluttering and decide if those items should go with us each night!

I'm so glad that you are moving to a bigger home but so sorry you have to do all of that work. Enjoy your discoveries.

When we moved from the Seattle area to Vancouver, WA two years ago, it took one of our movers four and a half hours to pack my craft room. He was on our moving team when we got to our new house. I thought he would run screaming when he realized who he was unpacking that day! You should have seen the look on his face. Too funny!

We have loved this place :). Sad to leave but ready for a little more space.

good luck on your move!
it's always nice to purge
and start with a clean slate!!
hope it goes smoothly! wish we were
moving, just to clean house again LOL!

Best wishes to you in your move -

So much work, but so exciting!!!!
Can't wait to see what you have in store for your new space!

We moved cross country in March. :/ I can't wait to see your new house! I'm still trying to organize all the craft stuff I forgot I had!

Good Luck with your move Ali and hopefully all goes 'smooth'. Loved all the pics of your current place and changes that you tweeked here and there..so I cannot wait to see what you come up with at your new 'home'
I do not envy your next month or month(s). We moved from KY to Alaska and it just always seems to take longer than planned...
Hope Simon is excited.. I know sometimes it is rough with all the 'change'.

Can't wait to see what you do with your new office!

We moved this summer, as chaotic as it was packing, I really enjoyed going through all of my craft supplies and picking out my faves to keep. It is all in storage at the moment, but we will move into our apartment in a week and a half. I love the idea of settling in a getting organized into a new home, although it always takes longer than I think it will. Here's to not getting stressed out in the process and ending the day with a good beer, a glass of wine, or a gin and tonic.
Enjoy your new space.

being a military spouse I've moved a lot. The best thing about moving is being able to go through your stuff, purge and make room for new possibilities.

Diane...I miss you :). Loved that post about that cabinet you painted...very inspiring to me.

Lots of work ahead of you! How exciting!!!
New home, new memories!
Can't wait to see your new space...you do incredible space planning and if you've got more space comin'....Yippee for you!
