I was watching some historical show about the stone works of Europe – Stonehenge one of the younger of these types of monuments. There is still so much to learn about what the ancients left.
Hope your New Year in your New Home begins a wonderful chapter for you and yours!!

Thanks, Jules. We’re getting there. My creative room (office) gets a makeover this week. Painting and some furniture. I’m excited. ❤️

‘My office’ is the dining room table. Though I do have the option of two other rooms! Both of which have desks that are overflowing with stuff. You’d have thought I’d have had time to organize… but, well just keeping up with keeping up can be it’s own challenge.
Years ago we got some new wood flooring and painted. My dining room and kitchen walls are still bare! At least though from wear I sit I an see out the bay and the picture windows by just a little head swivel 😉

Nice! Sounds great. I took one of the bedrooms upstairs. I do love being able to look out the windows. ❤️

With our empty nest, the two spare rooms have more than less become ‘collection rooms’.
But I have been trying to clean em out. 😉

I know how that goes, Jules. It’s an endless battle. This move was a huge downsize. I keep packing more away in the basement. LOL! 😀
