1. Dining room table with six chairs…need a really good
sized table and would like a table big enough for 8 chairs.
2. Sleeper sofa or sectional with a sleeper…gotta have extra
room for Mimi and Poppy. Although she
claims the camper will be her “guest” house!
3. Two full size loft beds…yes my beloved and a friend will
build these. We also need two desks, two
chests and one large mirror for the “prettiest” child. Her words, not mine. For the first time the
two teens will be sharing a room. Extra prayers for me!
4. We are debating the benefits of a bunk bed/trundle bed or
raised bed with storage for one child.
She can’t make up her mind other than she wants pink, purple and zebra!!
Won’t that be bright!
5. Of course, a big concern is a washer and dryer. Ours are pushing 8 years old. They have been a great set and have done tons
of laundry. I found a local place that
sells last year models and reconditioned sets for a great price. I’m budgeting for a “like” new set of
uprights. I’m crossing my fingers and
hoping for a red set. I also want an
upright freezer.
Per Mr. Germ-phobic, I will break down and budget for all
new mattresses. I thought my idea of
blow up mattresses was excellent…no way the kids could hide stuff under their
beds. Looks like I’m getting vetoed on
that as well.
There are a few kitchen things we will pack, but it’s not
going to be an all-out packing marathon. The girls and I are looking forward to
plundering the excellent thrift stores in and around Athens. We are blessed to have my Mother’s retirement
camper to stay in while we assemble our furniture. It is certainly making the move less
stressful for me.
Craigs list really helps, Putting your furniture store in the list really makes sense
