A week ago, we moved in to our apartment on the south side of Denver--in Lone Tree. It has taken a lot of work, but things are beginning to come together.
Before we could go to sleep that night, Eric and John had to put these pieces together to make the bed.
The lamps also came in pieces. I put four of them together for the bedroom and living room.
We have a table and chairs, an end table and two recliners.
And a bookcase.
Eric gave us a TV. For a few days, these empty boxes served as a TV stand.
Here is our dining room, just off the kitchen.
After assembling the chairs, we put the side table between them.
Of course, John had to assemble the two night stands from IKEA.
The TV stand from Walmart also took assembly.
Much better looking than the empty boxes!
After hours of assembly and numerous trips to various stores, we are getting comfortable. It has been 7 years since we set up a new home, rather than moving our furniture and other belongings from one place to another. We aren't done yet, but we are getting there.
We plan to stay here for 6 to 8 weeks, then drive to our winter home in Gold Canyon. We will spend our winters there and summers in Lone Tree. We still have the Airstream for occasional trips.
We are starting to talk about the next phase of our lives as well. We are thinking we might just move around the USA and rent furnished apartments in different places...
ReplyDeleteMight be a good way to explore. We did that with our RV.
