Today at the Hotel Thompson, we say goodbye to the rest of our furniture. Last Thursday, Salvation Army came out and picked up some pieces. Today, Goodwill will be picking up some pieces. What is final, the junk man will be coming by this afternoon and picking it up. It has been a long week getting this far. To think, by tonight the kitchen and front room will be empty.
Kitchen table, chairs, china cabinet and entertainment center – you were all good in your efforts these past 16 years while you have lived here. You have seen good times and bad. We have served many of meals, laughed and cried at the table. And furniture – sofa and couch – you have especially been great these past 11 years. You’ve taken a lot of torture from us anipals. We will all miss you dearly because we have been told we can’t be on the new furniture – rolls piggy eyes. That hurts. But mom/dad said not to worry, they will work something out with us.
This starts Phase II of the renovation here at the Hotel Thompson. The painting. Colors have been picked out. Rollers are ready. Not a lot of painting but some contrast painting is lined up. So that’s where we are my friends. Phase II. Phase II only has a couple of days and then the end is near – Phase III. I can make it… right?

You’re doing good old buddy old pal….it’s tough saying bye bye to the old friendly furniture – all the memories of cuddling on the couch and chair…..curling up on blankies to watch tv and have snacks together……no doubt your Mom and Dad have plans for cuddle spots that will NOT be “restricted air space” in the house……..can’t wait to see the final version of Casa De Thompson!
Hugs, Sammy

Me either! I ❤️ the new name. Casa de Thompson has a nice ring to it. I may have to use that for the final revealing. Should be fun and exciting for sure. I can’t wait to see everything come together. Right now everything is in different directions. XOXO – Bacon

Bro that’s the best phase ever… after all things are gone and the walls are empty you see how your project grows with efurry stroke of the brush… But I agree for the old furnitures, they are a part of our life somehow… I sometimes wish they would fall apart automatically after some years, so you haven’t that rock in your stomach when you give them away :o)

Snorts. The walls being bare were a problem. Mom was going to paint one wall. BUT all of the walls are in need of paint so all walls are getting painted. Ha! Too funny. Mom is not Michaelangelo so this will be interesting for sure. XOXO – Bacon

Yep…change is hard sometimes. However, you will ‘love’ your ‘new digs’ when the painting is done and the new furniture arrives. And just think how much the next family will enjoy the furnishings you donated ! ♥
And I imagine your parents have great plans in the furniture dept for you , Houdini and purr thing. There are chairs made just for furry kids … we’ve seen ’em !!!

No pets on furniture lasts about as long as keeping a new car clean – we give it 3 weeks 🙂

Wait, I’ve been off the grid & missed this–you’re getting rid of all your furniture? Won’t the anipals be upset with you (not to mention your hubby?!) PS, this must be the week for it (spring cleaning, I guess) as we are expecting new sofa to arrive & I have to arrange the removal of our old one. Good luck with the remodel–all the dust & chaos will be worth it when you’ve got a new, beautiful space!!!
PigLove
04/12/2015 at 10:31 pm
Dust? You don’t know half of it. Snorts. Mom got a wild hair up her butt and decided to renovate. The kitchen, living room, hallway and bathroom have all been gutted. All furniture has been donated to various organizations. Hardwood flooring is going down and new furniture has been ordered. Mom
gave it a three week turnaround. Did I mention painting too! Snorts. This is going on the third week now. Can I come stay with you? XOXO – Bacon

Oh snorts! Yes we remember. Oh wow – great times! We got so emotionally attached to our furniture, don’t we? Mom/dad say that the new furniture is going to be equally as great. I can’t wait for this renovation thingy to be completed. Mom gave it three weeks – not a day more. Three weeks will be Saturday. I do hope it’s over by then. Mommy has been pushing WAY too much on everything. She still has to finish painting and then Thursday/Friday it is out of her hands. Thank goodness for that. XOXO – Bacon
