Congratulations on the new house! We are looking for a new house to move into, I was hoping we could move in before Thanksgiving so that I would have time to get it how I want it. We are in a smaller house with NO storage!! I have had to be very minimal and creative! But I love the holidays!

Hope everything goes well with the move! :hat:
