Townhouse blues

We are in the townhouse. While it is clean, new, and relatively comfortable on its own, it is less comfortable when it is filled with cardboard boxes.

We have decided to pare back even further in order to avoid some of the visual (and physical) clutter that all the boxes provide. We all agree that this is sub-optimal. The kids are stressed. We are stressed. We are coping but sometimes losing a bit of the grip. I quite surprised at what isn't fitting in a space purported to be 1,400 square feet.

As for the future, who knows. Our current goal is to make it past the July 4th holiday without adding to our stress level. No open houses, no hunting, no offers, just unpacking as little as possible to make ourselves as comfortable as possible in this space.
