So, we’re moving house.

We are really excited about our new place and can’t wait to fill it with our stuff when we get the keys on Monday. However, before this can happen we need to stash it all into cardboard boxes and label it and pick it up and carry it places without tripping over other stuff and then watch as strangers load it into a dirty bumpy truck and hope that nothing smashes on the way.

So no pressure, then.

There are many words to describe the challenging stylistic direction we have chosen for our home this week. I won’t give it all away, but I can reveal that it centres mostly around one particular textile.

Cardboard.

Perhaps Martha Stewart could make something of this, but here at Casa Scarlet the decor is missing that certain “something”. Which of the following images do you think most resembles our lovely little home right now?

Is it “A”…

(With thanks to the very fancy definatalie)

Or “B”

(moving is FUN if you’re a modern prairie girl!)

Or perhaps “C”?

(Hint: way too fun to be the correct answer)

If you guessed “D – None of the above” you’d be correct! The correct answer was this:

Especially if you added lots of dust, laundry, a very concerned dog and maybe a few extra boxes.

So we’re going to go right ahead and clean up this mess rather than checking into the site for a few days. Please talk amongst yourselves, and enjoy your fabulous weekend!

(If you hear crying, just turn up your TV. It’ll be over soon.)
