vacuuming, unpacking, etc...

yesterday, my honey vacuumed our apartment. he created more visible floor space, too! he is so sweet to do that for us. our apartment is still a mess, but i'm glad to say it's less of a mess than it was a week ago.

we found a china cabinet on craigslist for $55. hauled it back from San Francisco in Dave's Explorer. got to unpack my Villeroy and Boch china...yeah!...and some crystal pieces and displayed them in the cabinet. looks really nice! we could use more cabinet space but i like the size of this one coz it doesn't dominate the dining area. threw out more packaging boxes..yay! more floor space!

i also got to organize our utility and linen closet a bit better this week. our bath linens are now all in one place and accessible. still need to find room for all the miscellaneous toiletries we have accumulated. maybe i'll just throw them away.
