Dismantling

Sometimes it feels like we're not getting anywhere at all, and then all of a sudden things leap forwards and I don't know where anything is any more. 

This afternoon I came downstairs to see decimated bookshelves, and a kitchen full of boxes. And, it turns out, yet another wall to be painted.

It helps to document the chaos. It makes it feel like it won't last forever.

But other things won't last forever either. These little corners of rooms, so carefully crafted over years, will soon be in dismantled, and while we might put the same objects in another room in the new house, they'll never be exactly the same again. 
Picture
So in the coming weeks I'm going to share corners of our home, how they are now, and as they change. There's no perfection here. I'm not tidying up for these photographs. You'll see dust and broken walls, piles of things that have no home and probably more stuff than any sane person should have. 

But it'll give you a glimpse of how we live, and what it's like to pack this crazy world into tiny boxes (and maybe show why I'm sometimes a little overwhelmed). 
Picture
I'm hoping it'll give me a new appreciation for what we have, and excitement for what's to come. 

Eventually.

Well so far I like these little glimpses of your home - full of stuff, yes, undeniably, but also bursting with life and character :-) I like it! (not that you need anyone's approval of course... oh and I hope your back's improving!)

Thanks Maria! My back's a lot better today, although I've been going a little stir crazy being mostly in the house for so many days in a row, especially when there isn't a single relaxing room right now! But I took my work laptop off to a cafe for a couple of hours this afternoon and that helped a lot... :)

I love all your stuff, it is unique and very individual. Would be lovely to scrapbook the photos as a great keepsake
