Romping in the Doll's House...

[msfledermaus]

...I took MCohenmn and the Queen of Stuff to see my new Maushaus tonight. Even with a few flaws like a couple of lights out and the back locks not being changed yet, it's a gorgeously big place.
I called Peaty and Ben the Once and Future Neighbor, and they stopped by from next door to romp and play in the big empty spaces. Ben brought some sage and some rock salt, and we smudged the rooms while playing an immensely fun game of, "Bedroom!" "No, CraftRoom!" "Whoo, lookit this hidey-cabinet! Yarn storage!!!" "Front room with the fireplace is the bedrooooooom!!" "Oh god, your walk in closet!! *evil falsetto* You BIIITCH" "Look, lookit, you can see the river!!" "The tub has green feets! Isn't that cute?"...Peaty strung up a spanking-new clothesline for me, and I made plans in my head for furniture and colors...then changed them. Then changed them again. I'm sure I'll have lots of time to figure out how things are going to look. But part of me is a little frightened by all the space and wonderfulness of it all...it's just so good. *Bites lip nervously*

We even went upstairs to the attic space above me, which looked beautiful and abandoned. Ben says it could have been a whole other apartment space if it had a back way out. It had old dormers and a small widow's walk and everything...Just amazing. Nobody uses it for storage, since people are only supposed to go up there to check on the furnace. But somehow with the size of the new digs I think storage isn't going to be a problem anymore:)

Oh man, once I actually get some stuff hauled in from the old Maushaus, think of the fun I'm going to have...it's the biggest diaroma I've ever had access to.

It's going to be so much fun living there:)

Fun thing is, my spinning wheel originally came from the basement of that house...I've been joking that it wanted to go home; it's just taking me with it...

Really -- all I can say is sweet digs.

I am getting away with something on some karmic astral level, I am quite sure:)

it's gonna be tea-party central once I'm moved in, methinks!

Pretty much the coolest place evah.

What's the timeline for Saturday? Pink games - but we'll probably have a couple of hours in the AM.

My folks are coming to my old place around ten-ish or so, but we should be unloading around the new place around elevenish for the first few trips. I can give you my cellphone number if you wanna come by and see the place, or since Matt's helping out you can call his too. (Erin's got weddings to do, so she's helping me today with some boxes and whatnot.)

what a gorgeous old building!

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

I lucked out big time:) Hurray for arty hippie-ish co-ops!!

It's nowhere near as cool as your piccies lately though...I've been thinking of you and hoping all is going well:)

Oh! I love that porch with all the gingerbread! I also love the color and the fact that it has that extra railing down the middle of the steps. It just looks like the greatest house you could imagine.

How many apartments are in the house, total? How many rooms do you have? When you have time I'd love to have a good description of the whole inside of the place.

There's four--I'm in the top left, and the other side has one of those roundy turrety things I love so much. It's a great house:)

I have 5 rooms, with a tiny back porch, a larger front porch you can see in the picture and a railing outside my front door for bikes and umbrellas and such.
The rooms are HUGE! I'm a little alarmed by all the space. I keep going, "This is MINE?!?! All for me?!?! Cool!!!"

I think I'm gonna have to take lots of pictures:)

Holy crap! I didn't realize that was your new place at first. *Cartman voice* "Awesome!"

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

Gleeeeeee!

And some of my best friends live right next door, too...they ust gave me a bowl full of eggs from their pet chickens. I feel very loved.

You look PERFECT in front of your new home! It's the Maushaus, without a doubt! It's so damn great, I can hardly contain myself...

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

I think I remember looking longingly at this house when we had our lovely walk around the Island a while back...funny how things work sometimes, huh?

[cynnerth.livejournal.com]

Funny in a yesssss kickass way! ;-D

[roadskoller.livejournal.com]

I love those old homes. This one almost looks like a doll house.
Have a wonderful wonderful move and enjoy!

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

Wheeeheehee!!

[fleur.livejournal.com]

I cannot wait to see this place! Are you set for movers? Let me know!

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

Ya know, I *could* use an extra pair of hands for stuff...if you wanna lug the occasional box I'd feed you well, and let you chase the chickens next door, I would...

I can e-mail you with my number if you wanna give me a call:)
