All packed and ready to go
Today is the day. We're saying good-bye to this beautiful place we call home for almost 10 years.
After packing a gazillion boxes (and I thought we're not pack rats :)), patiently waiting for 11 months and working tirelessly with our builders, in 2 hours and 15 minutes, the movers will be here to help us move to our new home.
Here's to another new adventures with my boys!

I have my cake and eat it too
Today has been quite productive. We've had most of our appliances hooked up. And while DH and the installer did the work in the kitchen, I made myself useful by trying to finish the drapes for our living and dining rooms.
I've decided to put sage green in our living room and dining room. The shade is very similar to the shade of my plate and cup below, only lighter. I hope it will look nice with the orange/terra cotta accent colour I'm planning to use in the dining room.
It makes me sooo excited thinking that the next time I will make the dessert above, I will be doing it in our new kitchen, in my new wall oven :).
I say "my ..." because DH and I have each our own oven :). DH's will solely be for meats and anything that's neither cake, bread, nor pastry. It still has to be installed btw. He got the dual fuel convection range, with 6 burners - perfect for a guy who loves to cook for us.
And oh, I was pleasantly surprised to see the huge available space below the oven. We are planning to put another drawer for pots and pans in it.
Tonight I'll go to bed with a big smile on my face because our kitchen in the new house is starting to look like errr.. kitchen. And today btw felt like Christmas morning, unpacking each of the appliances from their respective boxes. Now if only packing our stuff to get ready for the big move in 2 weeks feels as exciting, I'd probably be done packing by now hahaha.
A special thank you to our architect friend, Rads, who has been quite generous with his time, support, and guidance. He is our go-to guy whenever we are unsure of things. I'll talk about our friend in one of my upcoming posts.
