December 2, 2012. The Finish Line.
We participated in the Oakland Women's Club Christmas Tour of Homes on Sunday, December 2nd. Not only did it provide the deadline to have the house decorated for Christmas - for us, it marked the goal to have our house projects completed. Every last bag and box unpacked. Every hook hung. Every shelf filled. Every picture hung. We are officially settled in!
When we moved into the house in mid July someone said to me "And maybe you will be settled in by Christmas." At the time I thought that was the rudest and most unkind thing I had heard anyone say ...But it was also true. ha.
The sense of thankfulness, satisfaction and pleasure we feel at "being done" after a two and a half year renovation is nothing short of overwhelming.
The night before the Open House I snapped these photos to celebrate that "we were ready!"
