Settling In

VJblogging, gratitude, nonfiction, photographydecor, home, photos30 Comments

Slowly finding my footing again after what feels like a lost week. Our house has been buzzing with well wishers and workmen. New counters are in, as well as new light fixtures. Pictures are hung. Furniture arrives in trickles – a side effect of COVID. I am grateful for all of it.

Settling in: a sampling of photos from the new digs.

Very lovely, V.J. Congratulations! The layout of your kitchen looks exactly like ours before we remodeled it about ten years ago. I like the pleasant colors.
