Kitchen renovation started yesterday.
All the living room and dining room furniture is in storage for the duration. All the kitchen stuff is lined up on the floor of the living room. The breakable stuff – including these vintage Pyrex mixing bowls – are in the “safety zone” which is the area behind plastic storage tubs that are filled with other stuff. (Other stuff = wine bottles and jars and jars of homemade pickles.)
The new year is off to an interesting start.
My resolution: to avoid emotional breakdowns while the project is underway!

House renovation project, day one. And it’ll get worse before it gets better.
But, to make myself feel better, here’s a haiku from Laurie Jameson:
the empty house waits
for light and silence to clear
what has gone before
