Things to do when you move to a new house

The first thing we did while the house was still empty (except for a couple of boxes in the living room) was to thoroughly clean up. We cleaned every detail; appliances, walls, closets, those corners everyone forgets about...everything.

I know Ramon looks like he's operating but he's not, he's just cleaning the kitchen cabinets with a surgical mask. He's very allergic to dust.
Then came the arranging furniture part. We had to purchase some things that worked better in this house, not many, just some details like this cute rug for the dining table.


Oh! We also had to get rid of our sectional because it didn't fit in the living room so we purchased a new sofa. Do you remember the sofa battle? Well here is the result.



Tada!!! We both decided to buy this sofa because it work better for the room. We didn't find recliners with nice colors or shapes. This sofa was comfortable enough for Ramon, plus, he bought an ottoman to put his feet up.  

We also have to help Ella adapt to this house, although  for her, settling into the new house has been fast. The first days she was missing the apartment, but she is also excited with her new room and happy that now she has an outdoor space to play.
