What's happening at the Cottage this week


I feel pretty good about the things I accomplished last week on my to-do list.  If anything, I didn't get as many moving boxes unpacked as I would have liked.  But those always get pushed down to the bottom of the list.  We ended up not going to Atlanta.  Originally, I wanted to go to Ikea.  It's the closest one to us.  But, after reading some articles online, I changed my mind, and hubby was of like mind.  Just google what to expect when going to Ikea and you will get the idea.  We didn't have anyway to haul everything back and shipping is expensive.  So there's that.  If we had one in our town, or nearer, I'd be there.  I need bookcases.

Hubby did help me get the curtains hung and installed the additional shelving in three closets.  This house came with closet organization already in them, we just added more shelves and brackets to take full advantage of the space.  Now, I have a place to put more things as I am unpacking.  Yay me!  And we got the dining area arranged the way I like and removed some things from there that didn't belong there.  It's starting to look like a nice place to dine!

I plan on continuing the Cottage Happenings posts for a while to help me with accountability.  I do seem to do better with lists and taking time to plan for the things I need to do during the week.
