So, while we still don’t know whether we’ll get the parquet floor done in time for kitchen, and what we’ll do instead, we haven’t given up. Last night, on my way to my Swedish class (it’s important not to let any project take over your
Wie der Kölner sagt: ejahl watt och passiert, mer stun zusammen!!! Für mich ist Charlie jetzt schon mein grosser Held ❤️ gewappnet gegen den unberechenbaren Feind: die Zeit!
Bei aller Heiterkeit, die wir noch versuchen an den Tag zu legen, zehrt das letzte Jahr und die intensive Umbauphase bedenklich an unseren Nerven. Sie liegen blank.

Once we started to think about closing up the dining room door,I thought it would be great if we could use the door in the kitchen. Today I tried it out and it fits fine. Not only will this restore some sense of symmetry to the hall, it will
