Merry Christmas! Plus Move Update!

 

Happy Friday and Merry Christmas! Hope you're all having a wonderful holiday season. It's crazy that 2025 will be over in less than a week. I haven't been shopping much for clothes lately, although I did place one last Lululemon order for 2025. I'll post about that soon, but for today I just wanted to share some progress photos of the new house we're moving into. It's been a very slow process because we wanted to get some of the rooms painted, which took a week. Then we needed some electrical and plumbing work done before we could move in. Now that all that's been completed, we are building my new closet and after that we need to put new flooring into my studio/office room. It'll probably be another couple of weeks before we are fully moved in. It's such a long process! Tomorrow we're having some furniture delivered and I'm pretty excited about it. One of the pieces will be my desk. 😍

Here's a photo of the kitchen being painted. We also swapped out the gas stove for an induction. We'll eventually swap out the fridge for a different one in white. 

This will be my studio/office. I'll have my bag display case in here along the back wall. Will have to get some curtains and a different ceiling fan. Flooring will also be swapped out. I am really excited for this space! 

This is what the closet looked like. The previous owner chose the Container Store Elfa closet. It's just not my style. I've always wanted a IKEA Pax closet. 

We took everything down, which took hours!

This is the IKEA Pax system we chose to go with. We are leaving one side of the wall empty for now. I always wanted the nice looking doors, but since this is inside a walk in closet, the doors are not needed. Plus the doors cost SO MUCH MONEY. If you're wondering why there isn't a corner unit, it's because I really hate corner units. I feel like they aren't practical or easy to use. I'm going to put a mirror in that corner that I think will look really nice. 

I get the left side, Jared will get the right side. I'll post a photo when it's done! Will also post a progression video on my YouTube channel. 😊 Hope you have an amazing weekend!
