Yay, we have moved. I have never lived in a house that had new floor and walls before we moved in, so it is an incentive to keep things looking nice from the start. Our boxes from arrived on Thursday, and were unpacked by the lovely men from Crown Relocations, who then took away the mess. LOVE Crown. The apartment is still in a bit of chaos because we have no drawers to put things in, or shelves to put things on, so the dining table resembles a yard sale table, and the floor in the bedrooms resembles ... well, the usual floor in the bedrooms to be honest.
I want to get a couple of chests of drawers for the girls room, just plain white, like the Malm ones from Ikea. Unfortunately, there is no Ikea in Korea. For our spare/office/sewing room I want to get a big cube bookcase that basically takes up a whole wall, and can have all our books, toys, sewing stuff on it and still look neat.
For our room we already have a hanging rack down one wall, and we could probably do with one more to take all the long stuff (translation: my dresses). We also need drawers. Did I mention that there is no Ikea here?
The lounge at the moment has a very old uncomfortable brown leather couch, which will have to do for now, as we need a rug more. Mostly for noise so we don't annoy the downstairs neighbours, but also to make the space a bit more cosy.
I will try to post more photos, but honestly, I am a bit confused as to how to load them, arrange them and so on on this blog. I know it can be done, as I have discovered the world of online design blogs, and they look lovely on their blogspots.
For now, words will have to do. Sorry.

Hey girl
ReplyDeletelong time no see or speak! I definitely know what you have just been through with such a huge move - not for the faint-hearted. And being the in throes of another right now, I am hugely sympathetic. This time we too are selling up almost everything we own, unable to shipmuch to Lux because of the cost, and not wanting to leave too much in storage because of not knowing when we will ever see it again. I think selling up is almost the hardest part...
Phil is going to be teaching at an international school again (ISL), and is very much looking forward to it. I assume John is teaching in Seoul - what is the college?
I too remember the last time i saw you and Trinity - she was well behaved actually - and you are right about the quilting. Since then it has become and obsession, and time will tell what happens. Not sure what God has in store for us either, and even Europe is a little scary but at least it has IKEA! We are trying to learn french too. I've loaded your blog into my favourites and will read it more regularly now!
i have such fond memories of you cilla! We'll keep you all in our prayers as we know that such a drastic culture change is not easy. Hope you make a good friend soon!
