Sigh of Relief: Moving Weekend

My first night in the house was Friday and I have to say, it felt pretty good to wake up here the next morning (regardless of the fact that I'm brushing my teeth over the tub because the sinks are not yet hooked up)!  It took me a bazillion mini-loads on Friday to get everything over here, but I'm finally in.  What seemed like a snag in my plans, not being able to hook up the sinks, turned into a blessing in disguise as my mom found a perfect little bathroom vanity (the furniture style ones that I like best) at a garage sale for $65!  You can't even buy a faucet for a sink for $65 these days...  She also picked up a rug at TJ Maxx that I love for the kitchen table area.  The dark brown blends in with the floor and the design adds some turquoise color to the area.

Spent a good couple of hours on Saturday moving the cabinet up a couple of inches and hanging the microwave.  My question is: how do builders screw into studs?  It seemed IMPOSSIBLE.  But the final product looks amazing -- the microwave is now easily my favorite part of the kitchen :)  Also drywalled and filled the hole left behind from the heating and cooling switch-up.

Uncle Dan, Aunt Marie, Molly, Clay and my mom came out on Sunday to bring the ....da da da da!!! ...Couch!!!  I was excited to see it with the slipcover (custom made) in the room -- the smaller size of the couch seems perfect; not overwhelming in any way.

Then, before my mom left today, we of course had to 'set up' a little bit.  It was hard to get pictures of the room without it looking weird, but in person it looks and feels really nice.  Cozy.  I decided to go with the dark blinds, and even purchased them, so maybe those will get hung this week.  (Hopefully -- because the sheets aren't really doing it for me!)

Finally feels like a real house.

Fantastic microwave.

Lovely rug.

Here is the vanity!

Shower is fully functioning. 

Couch and slipcover.  White's the best slipcover color because you can throw it in the wash with bleach and voila!  It's clean again!

Had to hang the picture with 3 inch wood nails because I couldn't resist hanging things and those were the only nails I have...

Here are pictures of the living room as of right now.  I think it looks pretty dang good for every single piece in this room being just leftover odds 'n ends from everyone...
