This is what our living room with the carpet ripped up looks like, complete with large garbage can in the middle of the room. We're putting in oak floors, which is a 2-3 day process. In the meantime, the dining room chairs are in the bedroom, the bottom of the hutch is in the kitchen, the top of the hutch is on the back porch, and the only real piece of living room furniture we moved from Vermont - Mike's leather chair - is also in our bedroom. My office is full of boxes of wood flooring and there is a coating of dust everywhere.
It's all worth it because look at the beautiful wood floor! We also ordered a couch and love seat for the living room and two gorgeous round chairs for the library that are so big I can curl up with my feet under me and still have room. Picking out the furniture was easy, choosing fabric was moderately time-consuming, and picking out fabric for the pillows, to make sure the color flows through the house, took a lot of time. Thank goodness Wendy from Bella Home Furnishings is talented and funny or I would have given up.
Moving is definitely an exercise in patience and waiting: packing up everything in Vermont, waiting two weeks after we arrived in Arizona for our stuff to be delivered, waiting another 2 weeks for the floor to be put in, and now waiting another 4-6 weeks for furniture.
And I thought moving would be easy!
