I’m so excited and grateful that we’re ready to do that huge renovation after a few years of interested by it, however gosh – it’s unusual to be to not being dwelling in our house.
However we’re very fortunate to have discovered such an ideal home to stay in these subsequent 5 months. The rental is so charming! The décor could be very “English cottage” with a number of china and linen. It’s 3 bedrooms with 2 bogs all on 1 ground. Simply sufficient house for the 4 of us (plus Gus!).
We spent all final week transferring all of the small stuff into the rental and the entire huge stuff into our basement whereas the highest two flooring of our house endure the reno.
Our new cottage is a month-to-month rental that’s furnished as if it had been an Airbnb, so we’ve got just about the whole lot we’d like minus garments and toys. However after all there are these “comforts of house” that we needed to deliver alongside, principally within the kitchen!
We’re lastly considerably settled in, and so I assumed I’d share what must-have objects we introduced with us, and what we left behind tucked someplace into the nooks and crannies of our basement.
In fact, if we’d like something that we forgot, we’re fortunately only some minutes away.
What we introduced:
Espresso Grinder and Espresso Maker: Whereas there IS a espresso maker on the cottage, we’re used to and hooked on ours and all of its settings. Plus our new Burr grinder is now a must have! So we introduced each of those with us.
Caraway Pans – Learn this publish for my full overview! We’re obsessive about our cookware. We determined to make use of our set and we’ve got tucked away the cottage’s fundamental items.
Vitamix: We use our Vitamix blender the entire time for smoothies. It was positively a prime kitchen merchandise we couldn’t do with out – there isn’t any different blender prefer it!
Dyson Vacuum: Between the youngsters and the canine, I find yourself utilizing our Dyson a pair occasions per day! This was a no brainer to deliver, and I don’t do effectively with cords, haha. Solely drawback is we don’t have an awesome built-in spot for it.
Air Purifiers: White noise and clear air are two of Thomas’s prime priorities of life.
1/2 of my garments: I packed away half of my garments. One half of these are mid-winter kinds I in all probability gained’t want between March and September, however the different 25%? These are simply my least favorites. This will likely be an awesome check to see if I even permit them again into the brand new closet on the finish!
Every little thing in our pantry: Regardless of making an attempt to plan pantry meals for months, we’re nonetheless transferring approach an excessive amount of stuff! However we gotta use it up a method or one other. I left behind a can of pumpkin that doesn’t expire till 2024. It will likely be ready for me for within the fall!
Youngsters’ Toys and Actions: We introduced too many, however would possibly as effectively since they need to be saved in any case. And the boys’ rooms have first rate storage with huge empty closets. I left any messy arts and crafts at house, and we introduced puzzles, video games, and important toys.
Toiletries: In fact I introduced our Beautycounter necessities. I’m very excited concerning the storage options in our rental – so fairly on show!
Our Sofa: An enormous fluffy household sofa is a will need to have!! The couch that was within the cottage has been relocated to our bed room and we introduced our huge sectional. It doesn’t look as nice within the house, however it is going to serve us effectively for five months of child snuggling and nighttime TV watching.
What we left behind:
Vegetation: Fortunately the vegetation can stay outdoors all summer season lengthy!
Winter Garments: We’re once more fortunate that is all happening in the course of the summer season, so no must lug our boots, coats, hats and mittens. However that does imply all of our swim gear needed to come!
Dishes: Our home is completely furnished with dishes and silverware, so ours are all going within the basement.
Electrical Kettle: We had been excited the rental has one!
Linens: We’re leaving our favourite sheets behind, as the home is absolutely stocked with sheets and towels. I’m so excited as a result of the home-owner has very nice linen bedding in all of the rooms!
Mattress: Gosh we wished to deliver our Tempur-pedic so badly, however we had been so glad to find that the cottage’s mattress is a brand new natural one and it’s good and agency! YAY.
Large Toys / Further toys: We despatched a few of these to our in-laws so that they boys have toys there and we didn’t need to retailer them. The prepare set and the (dreaded) sizzling wheels set are each there.
Different issues I can go with out for six months: nail polish set, single-use home equipment like our rice cooker, half my jewellery, cords, batteries, our printer, and extra!
Peloton: Even when we’d had the house, I’m undecided we might have introduced it. Whereas I like our Peloton bike and have been utilizing it 2-3 occasions every week since we bought it in the course of the pandemic, we’re leaving it again at house. I’ll depend on our fitness center membership for the subsequent a number of months, and I would drop by the home on my approach house from preschool for a morning journey.
Don’t fear Gus, you’re coming too!
