Settling In

Tell me again why I moved to another state?  But finally, lease is signed, power is on, boxes are in and 80 percent unpacked.  It's the last 20% that's brutal, because really, it's everything that didn't have a logical home and got put into a pile.  People do this regularly?  Here's a little tidbit about Las Vegas btw...my auto insurance jumped by 35% because....this is my favorite part....there are so many uninsured drivers.  I pay 35% more because others don't pay for auto insurance.  That's all I'll say about that.  It's been a long day--can you tell? 

But all grumpiness aside....yay!  I have a home for the next 6 months and have to say--I am so in love with the kitchen space.  I chose this apt model almost entirely for the kitchen layout. 



The master has these great shelves and window seat.  It was almost enough to tempt me to unpack the boxes of leather bound classics to fill up the shelves.  Almost, but not enough.


All of the kitchen boxes however, will get unpacked.  Kitchen stuff is important. And way messy.


I couldn't wait--all this island space had me heading over to Trader Joes to stock up on groceries...there's some cooking coming up this week.  Boxes schmoxes.


Did I mention how much I love this island?  It's so long, that I've divided it in half...



They say that if you leave your KitchenAid mixer out, you'll use it.  We'll see--I may just end up using this side for countertop dancing sessions instead.  Or not..already have a baking plan for this week...

And gratuitous Chipmunk shot.
