Now that we’re in, mudroom miscellany remains unkempt, yet the pantry is stocked, artwork is hung and someone left their shoes on the stairs. We spent July and August unpacking and most of September getting settled and checking things off the honey-do list. I made an inaugural batch of cocktails over Labor Day weekend and finally enjoyed morning coffee on that balcony off the master bedroom a week later. We’re sporting that lived-in look and exuding that new-house smell.
