How Long Should It Take to Unpack?
Please tell me that it’s more than 2 months because that’s how long it’s been since we moved and my house still looks like this:
I think I almost preferred it when things were in this state:
Okay, maybe that’s an exaggeration. Or not.
It’s the Little Things
Hi, everyone, how was your weekend? Mine was busy, busy, busy. Last week, I strained my back so I had to rest it and got very little done around the house. I was determined to make up for it this weekend, having forgotten that Ikea + Home Depot in the same weekend = one grumpy [...]
Disconnected
Sorry, Right Bankers, no post today as I’ve got no internet – or telephone or tv, for that matter. Thank you, Comcast. (I’m at the temp apartment packing things up and using the internet connection while I can!) Hopefully, I will be back up and running by Monday but if not, you’ll know why. I [...]
Moving In!
The move-in has begun and so far, everything is going well. Most of our things seem to have made the cross country trip intact and it’s nice to see my own things again. Well most of it anyway! (”What the hell is that?” has been asked a lot around here!)
So what exactly am I doing [...]
Fake Plants and Ugly Art
(Note: the photos in this post are entirely unrelated to the topic.)
As corporate housing goes, we’re in a pretty nice one. But living in a temporary apartment still kind of sucks. Aside from the general inconvenience of not being in my own home, I’m offended by the decor. I can’t help it. For someone who [...]
The House Is Finally Ours!
I was really starting to doubt it would ever happen but it did. We finally closed on our new house!!! We haven’t moved in yet (we’re having some work done on it first) but I had everyone lined up and waiting to get started so it’ll be a frenzy of activity now and we should [...]
New City, New Banner and (Sort of) New Blog Name
Remember the poll I took to name my blog after my move? Well, the people have spoken and my blog will hereby be known as . . . From the Right Bank. The subheadings will be “to the Left Coast” and “to the Deep South.” Thank you to all of you who voted (there were [...]
I’m Ba-ack!
Hi, everyone, how have you been? I’ve missed you all and I have so much to catch up on and to catch you up on!
First things first, we’ve finally arrived in Atlanta! And for now we’re settled into our temporary digs. Being the nester that I am, it’s killing me that we couldn’t move straight [...]
Well, Hello!
Hi, all! Just a quick post to let you know the family has arrived in Atlanta in one piece! I have a lot to report and will be back blogging starting Monday but I wanted to say a quick hello and to thank you all for the well wishes and for checking in on me. [...]
House Hunting Update + Neighbors
WE GOT THE HOUSE!
This week has been a series of phone calls, emails, faxes back and forth from everyone and their brother and lots and lots of waiting. But it has paid off – the sellers accepted our latest offer!!! We still need to do an inspection and I’m going to fly out there [...]
New Home, New Magazines
So, we’re deep in the throes of getting ready to sell our house and move across the country. With all that that entails, you’d think I’d have enough on my mind but you know what I’m thinking about? Magazines. (Priorities, shmiorities.)
I picked up Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles and Southern Living while I was in Atlanta [...]
House Hunting, The Highlights
I have been completely blown away by all the gorgeous houses I’ve seen this week. I had no idea what Atlanta had in store! Here are a few highlights from my house hunt that just made me die. (They’re all from different houses.)
First this kitchen:
Seriously, have you ever seen such a beautiful island?
Then there’s this [...]
House Hunting
Most of you know that we live in a contemporary house in Seattle. It’s my husband’s favorite style and also one of my many favorite styles. I learned quickly however that in Atlanta, we’ll be going a different route. There aren’t too many contemporaries in the first place and everyone has also advised against it [...]
