The death of the dining room: how mealtimes moved to the kitchen – or the sofa
By Guardian Staff

The idea of a room that you use only occasionally for sit-down meals has gone out of fashion. Now people have found better ways to use the space

I got the idea of painting birds on the Garagarchive doors from Pinterest. Luckily I've taken hundreds of Cardinal pictures to choose from. #home #homeimprovement #homeimprovements #painting #mural #murals #outdoorart #outdoorarting #art #artist #arting #makingart #civicart #largeart #cardinal #cardinals #bird #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdwatcher #birdwatchers #birder #birders #project #doityourself #doityourselfproject #workingathome #painting #housepaint #fern #ferns #bostonfern

Summer Chores continue apace. Not only did we have both chimneys cleaned along with the oil furnace and woodstove, we had this sharp new silver chimney pipe and fixture installed. #chore #chores #summerchores #furnacecleaning #woodstovecleaning #furnace #oilfurnace #oilfurnaces #woodstoves #heatingwithwood #maintenencecleaning #maintenence #homemaintenence #homerepair #fixup #fixups #improvements #homeimprovements

They are finished installing our new IKEA kitchen. I am thrilled and amazed. I love it!

The walls will be patched and tiled tomorrow and the plumber will finish the sink and dishwasher installation on Monday.

Wow!

The progress being made in the kitchen is stunning. The demo is done and they are installing cabinets. It feels like they might be as much as half a day ahead of schedule. We’re already starting to talk about things that weren’t supposed to happen this weekend. Tiling and painting, specifically. The tile guy is coming on Sunday. It’s absolutely nuts!

Anyway, here’s today’s photo a day pic. I took it before the kitchen guys got here this morning because I didn’t know if I would get a chance for anything once the crazy arrived.
