New arrivals… and miles to go.
After a week of anticipation and back pain, our IKEA mattresses and kitchen fixtures came today. This means that our kitchen is mostly complete -- we're only missing bar stools, more flatware, more tableware, a computer hutch and chair, a computer, a filing cabinet, a mixer, toaster oven, decent knives and a fruit bowl. Oh, yeah, we need placemats, maybe a tablecloth and napkins.
In the four bedrooms, we have mattresses, but are missing dressers, some regular hangers, dress hangers, beds, mirrors, side tables, a decent alarm clock for Joni, writing desks, bookshelves, a comfy chair for me, kids computer, games/toys and holders for said games and toys, lighting and timers. We probably ought to get sheets for the new mattresses, too. Curtains might be nice.
In the bathrooms, we need toilet scrubbers, toilet plungers, a nightlight for the kids, maybe a separate bathroom scale in the kids bathroom, and some more bath towels. The bathrooms are actually in pretty good shape.
The entryway needs shoe racks, a cabinet or table, a mirror and/or decorative piece, a small rug, an umbrella stand, picture frames, and a mail sorter.
Our dining room needs a dining table and chairs. Some art or mirrors might be nice. I'll lump in patio furniture here, though this isn't a must.
Now my favourite part -- the living room. It's pretty much empty. We need two sofas, a coffee table/ottoman and end tables, comfy chairs, a game table and/or game caddy, big TV, universal DVD player/recorder, Sky Perfect TV hook up, surround system, lighting, rug, throws & pillows, wall unit/lowboy for TV, bookshelves, art, uh, I guess that's it.
Did I mention that we've already used up nearly a third of our suggested moving allowance? This might get tricky!
