I am loving seeing all the new sprouts and growth.
Last weekend my daughters converted the dining room into a gardening/homeschool room for me, and moved the DR into the den, which makes sense bc it’s right beside the kitchen. We’re in a state of limbo (chaos) while we get reorganized, but it’s going to be much better. The dining area now has the room for people to get in and out without feeling boxed in and we have a dedicated space for all our projects. We never used both the den and Living Room anyway, so we don’t need 2.
