Moving furniture

I am sure that I mentioned the lovely wall mirror that we brought from Germany.

Mirror. Also ceiling and window reelections

which arrived safe and sound as far as the wood was concerned. But the glass? Not so much. So there it sat in the garage for almost 10 years. Yes, it has been over 10 years since we moved to California.  Anyway, near the beginning of the year when we had to replace glass in cupboard doors (off-springs house. She had been living with it for the 10 years she has been in the house). Since George did the arrangements, he decided that it was reasonable to go ahead and get glass put into the mirror.

(queue several months going by. Mirror has been lying flat on the large dining table (which lives at the far end of the living room because … oh, never mind). Anyway he borrowed a stud finder and we planned on mounting it on the wall. Oh, that is the wall shared with the bathroom. The little gizmo is reported wires. And plumbing and …. Yes, I realized that no one wraps cords around support studs and we are not in anyway planning on hanging something with some heft on a shower pipe. But seriously, I looked at the room set up.

We reorganized the bedroom when we replaced the bed. Just sticking it in the middle of the back wall because that involved the least movement of other furniture. I did some measuring the other day. If I move the dresser to the outside wall – there are several options for mirror locations. That means moving the bed toward the inner wall. This also has the advantage of the headboard no longer blocking the cranks for one of the windows.

Today is the day. I emptied off the dresser. And the night stands. The laundry went down to the laundry room. And picked up everything off the dresser and clothes that needed to be sorted. It all landed on the be

Obviously this was a golden time to clean the floor, and the furniture. With help of course.

I found I am short one extension cord. When we did the renovations we added outlets. Unfortunately the one on what is now my side of the bed isn’t grounded. I can survive a day.. I think. But, I now have all these lovely blank walls which are just begging for me to hang things on them, rightt?

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
