Young House Love » Cleaning, Organizing, & Eco » Coming Undone

| By John Petersik | December 4, 2010 | 92 Comments

Coming Undone

In case anyone’s wondering, I’ve managed to keep up my make-the-bed-everyday-for-a-month resolution beyond October. Hootie hoo. And Burger has kept up his end of the bargain and still undoes it an hour later. Oh well.

Burger Foot Out

Speaking of things coming apart, we realized that this very weekend last year I was holed up in our bathroom demolishing the darned thing (inexplicably without shoes on in the beginning, which we don’t recommend).

Bathroom Demo 3

Bathroom Demo 11

While that still takes the cake as my most physically grueling disassembly ever, this weekend kicks off another that threatens to be equally taxing on our emotions: packing up. With our move less than a week and a half away we’re starting to take things down, box things up, and ready ourselves to leave. It’s bound to be sad (and tiring) especially since we’ve already seen what it’s like to watch our patio go from this…

Final Patio After

…to this (after selling our patio set at the moving sale since it won’t fit the patio of the new place).

Patio Bare

And of course the onset of winter weather sure is helping it look that much more depressing. Sigh. We’ll be sure to post more packing up pictures as we make more progress. For now just wish us luck – and maybe hand Sherry some virtual tissues. We’re both so excited to get into the new place but it’s definitely going to be bittersweet to close the door on this one.

Psst- Want an update of what the patio looked like right before we moved out? Click here for lots of chaotic moving photos along with a shot of a very sad patio.

    Just try to focus on the excitement of redoing a new place. I always love pulling out all my pictures/things that hang on the wall, laying them all out flat on the floor in front of me, and deciding what’s going to go where. It always ends up differently than in the house I moved from, and I love that freshness. Happy move!

    I remember that feeling this summer…moving away from the home we brought our son to after we had him. I think packing “up to” the move was the hardest. Our actual moving day was so busy, and after that, we were so relieved to be in and relax in our home, the sadness sort of fell away! Looking back, it’s kind of relieving! We certainly were sad when packing, but the actual day was a true blessing, when we were finally in our new home!

    Moving is brutal . . . even when you’re excited about it. We moved into our first house this May after being apartment dwellers since we got married. It was exciting and totally overwhelming at the same time. I would think this must be an especially hard time to make a move too as this is usually the time people start hunkering down in their homes with their festive decor and a cup of something warm. Good luck with all the packing and the move itself. It’s a great thing . . . even if it is tough. :)

    I bet it feels great to know after the yard sale that you will only be packing up what you will truly use in your new home. Today is our yard sale, although we are not going anywhere…I will seriously re think every new item I ever purchase and learn to repurpose items. I was happy to pare down my hoilday boxes and not be so holiday specific.

    I’ve read and seen my share of organization/decor ideas and tips. But there’s something different about you two (maybe because you are my age).

    John – The phrase ‘hootie hoo’, does that come from anything specific? There’s a radio show out of LA where they use that phrase quite a bit, and I’m curious if it’s referencing something.

    The hubby and I are moving too! New York to California! Granted, we only have an apartment’s worth of stuff to move…and most of it is getting sold or given away…but I find packing up my ‘areas’ really messes with my daily routine. (Even though that routine now should be focused on throwing things in boxes.)

      I don’t know where that expression came from, but it’s like “wahoo” to us. I guess we use both expressions interchangeably. Funny that it’s an LA radio show catchphrase!

I name my cars, my important possessions, etc. Your house feels like a big part of my life since I check your site at least twice a day everyday. I’m so excited for you, but you certainly won’t be the only ones a little sad about your big change!!!

    I know the feeling. We will be moving in a few weeks with our 6 month old. We are going to our first house and I’m really excited about it but I already have so many memories of this place with Lucy. In fact, she was even born here (with a midwife)!

    And I look forward to your packing ideas. We have only done a few things on the new place (we’ve owned it for a couple months already) but it is really hard with her hanging around all the time, even if she does love her ergo. I end up getting distracted by her cuteness way too much -I’m sure you know how that is!

    Good Luck with the move
    My number one tip for moving …
    Pack a box or two, kind of like a picnic for moving day, and the next day. So that when you got to the house and are dying for a cup of tea or something for Clara or Burger and you have it all ready.
    Ours would have kettle, toaster, bread and honey (for my honey thats his fav) coffee, milk, cookies, Lunch/dinner makings, 2 cups, knife fork spoon plates for 2, toothbrushes tooth paste etc. Night wear, cat food, and bowl.You get my drift, no rummageing in five different boxes to get t hot drink.
    Cheers

    I’m totally feeling your pain! My husband and I are moving from Georgia to Connecticut, and I’ve spent the last two weeks packing up three and half years of our life. My husband left me and the cat this morning with all of the stuff so I could give the apartment a really good clean before we left and I’m currently eating takeout on the floor of my living room. It’s actually kind of depressing.

    I remember being so sad driving away from the farm where I grew up for (what I thought) was the very last time. My husband (who was doing the driving) held my hand as I cried inconsolably and peered out the back window until the house was out of sight….

    I ended up having to go back to the farm to help my parents pack up the last of their things on moving day and I am so glad I did. Without their belongings it was just a house and I was able to drive away for what was really the very last time without looking back :)

    I also think that the fact that your new place resembles your first house so much is going to make the transition that much easier.

      We took a trip to Ikea to check out a few options in person and are 99.9% sold on the Karlstad sectional with a chaise. It’s about 2-3K cheaper than anything else we’ve looked at (we also went to Room & Board, Pottery Barn, Crate & Barrel, and Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams). We’ll definitely post about it when/if we take the leap. Anna over at Door Sixteen has it and loves it (she has pooches so that bodes well). The whole cover is 100% removable and washable so that’s really nice- and we’re thinking about getting it in a nice dark gray color.

But I very much understand the sadness of leaving your home for an new home, and wish the whole family a smooth transition and comfortable settling-in. Just remember: your REAL home is wherever your loved ones are, so as long as you’ve got each other the rest is just a redecorating opportunity. ;)

He was so spoiled that he had his own cushion on the couch. When the heap of afghan or blanket was touched, growling could be heard from deep within.

    Good luck with packing. I envy for having the energy to move right before Christmas.

    Super excited for you all as you walk this next leg of your families life journey. You’ll be celebrating a “1st” almost immediately…..1st Christmas in you new home! Eventhough you’ll still be in the thick of making your house a home, be sure to take time to be in the moment and experience the spirit of the holidays. Maybe take a pic of the family on your first day and make a card to post on the fridge (under your DIY ornament magnet). Be blessed.

    I agree with others here – there is something very special about you guys! You write so openly (and hilariously) and have somehow managed to make a group of strangers passing by feel like they somehow know you and your house. You – John, Sherry, Clara, and Burger – you ARE the home. A house is so much more than its bones and property. Once you’ve put the last bubble-wrapped white ceramic mammal into its box, the house will, in a way, be reborn, ready for its new people – what it has been for you will be safely tucked away in your hearts, always available for revisiting, and the new people will not be moving into “your” house, because without your stuff and you, it becomes a whole new ballgame (or, house). And yes, even with all that said, the ballgame/house will be hard to leave and if I were in your shoes, I’d totally be a weepy mess by the time I closed the door and walked away. But I know you can feel the energy of the new home already – the house itself can’t wait to see you!

    It’s time for house #1 to be reborn with its new people, and you wonderful DIYers have made it the belle of the ball – what a gift for the new owners! It’ll be fresh for their own stamp, just like house #2 is now counting down the days til you with all your warmth and laughter arrive and begin to lovingly transform it too. Tis the season for giving, and that theme is just resonating all over the place with this move – it really is going to be great!!

    I agree that the final walk through is the worst part. I hated selling the first house my husband and I shared. It was about midnight when we got everything out and the house cleaned. He and I did a walk through and I sobbed the whole time. He kept saying how sorry he was since it was his job that was causing us to have to move. I still look at photos from that house and get teary-eyed.

    I’m right there with ya. A year ago this month we moved from a house that we moved into right after it was built in ’04. Last year someone contacted us about buying it. They wanted it so much they offered our asking price.
    So after the shock wore off and I cried about these people chasing us out of a house where we had chosen everything from cabinet door to tile color in the entryway, we found a house we liked even better. And *gasp* it was older than me and my kids put together.
    But packing everything and moving(luckily our new place was vacant and the seller agreed to let us move in early),especially this time of year, was *hard*. We didn’t get a tree last year. On Christmas day, we had exactly one chair left in our house. Christmas night we slept on the floor. The gradual process turned from excruciating to exciting over a period of four days.
    Good luck with everything. In this case, I personally believe it’s less about the journey and more about the destination.
    Because the actual physical part of moving, totally, completely, sucks all the life out of you. :)
