This was the day the dominos fell . . .
It all started YEARS ago (as in 5 years ago, when I was expecting little EJo).
Wyatt called me – he had found this great kitchen set on KSL from a cabinet shop that was going out of business. We could buy it and put it in the cabin “someday” – we’ve been storing it ever since. It’s been a plethora of places – in our garage, in the “cabin room” (before we used the downstairs bedrooms as bedrooms), in the shed, back in the garage, and most recently, behind the couches in the basement family room.
Then about three years ago, when we changed the basement up and started using the bedrooms as bedrooms, I designed this:
See that darling desk in the drawing? That’s what I always envisioned for little Goose’s bedroom. But I could never find one.
Then a few months ago Olivia started persisting in her request for a desk of her own (after all, Calvin had one . . . a result from moving Everett upstairs to share rooms with Andrew a few months ago).
And then on Thursday night I found a desk that I thought would be perfect for her room. It was a little fold down secretary just like the one I’d drawn years ago, but it had a lighted hutch above it. Even better!
But it also came with a “tall boy” dresser – and by tall, I mean as tall as Wyatt!
Which was great because we’ve also needed more dressers for our littles with baby Nathaniel coming.
So. . .
On Thursday Lois agreed to take the kids for a sleep over so Wyatt and I could work on projects to get done before the baby, and this was project number one.
We picked up the furniture and brought it home, only to discover the tallboy would not fit down the stairs (no surprise) and we’d have to haul it around thru the back doors.
But the cabinets were in the way.
So we moved Olivia’s old dresser out (into Calvin’s room), rearranged her room to accommodate her furniture and worked on other house projects (cleaning out the baby room which we have used as a storage room for the past several months, going thru the baby clothes to wash, sort and put away, shopping for the few necessities we were lacking, etc. etc.)
