On to the new home base, it's amazing what you can get for just signing your name on a piece of paper. ;c)
Our long ago decision to sell all our furniture when we hit the road instead of storing it was very wise. We saved a ton of money that would have been spent on storage fees and enabled us to buy all new furniture for the house. Of course, I failed to realize that much of the new furniture comes unassembled and I've been working putting it together. My cordless screwdriver has become my new best friend.
A fast tour of some of the inside rooms. We decided to purchase the model that has all the major living areas on one floor. My 94 year old dad may come to live with us at some point and we're not getting any younger, so it will eliminate stair climbing if necessary. We do have a large room on the second floor with a full bath that we're going to use as a video game and sleep overs area for the grandkids, as well as a work area for Marti to do her crafting.
A few pictures:
Living room.
Kitchen (with a dishwasher!!!). The kitchen table area.
Guest bedroom with newly assembled bed, new mattress is coming on Saturday.
Still more boxes of furniture awaiting my attention.
One thing (actually two) that I'm looking forward to putting together with the grandsons.
We've got lots of traveling scheduled for the upcoming year, Disney World in Florida with the Jersey granddaughters, Key West, Disneyland with the California granddaughters, just to name a few. It looks like the Journey will get some PDD driving days in the near future. :cD

ReplyDeleteVery nice, and good job putting together the furniture :) We'll be in CA for awhile, not far from the bay area, maybe we can get together!
ReplyDeleteNice to see your new home base. It's already keeping you busy I see. Don't get lost in all that space.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are settling in nicely! The house looks lovely and I am sure you will both enjoy it very much. Disney World will be on our agenda as well once our grandkids get a little older.

What a great home base, congratulations.
ReplyDeleteNice home ... when we get off the road, our preference will also be one that has all the major living space on the ground floor.
ReplyDeleteIt looks perfect. One thing I notice when we come back to our little winter home is how far it is from the kitchen to the bedroom!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! It looks like a pretty amazing place. Glad you are getting settled in. Looks like you have your work cut out for you!
