we have been renovating our kitchen, and it is nearly done. i have never had, or lived in proximity to, a room that says "Yes, Adults Live Here" with quite such quiet, understated authority before. i like it, but it outclasses the rest of The Mess - it belongs in a better-kept home. #.#
meanwhile our basement is nearly solidpacked with kipple and my office is cluttered to immobolity.
balance in nature must be maintained. ;)
