A Table to Match My Shoes

So far, I haven't accomplished much during unemployment....a couple great weeks with my visiting parents, a lot of paperwork (German bureaucracy....), a couple interviews, and keeping the house clean. OK, that last one is a big one....it included totally cleaning out the kitchen and putting in some additional shelves. There's now empty storage space for new kitchen gadgets (pizza oven, here you come!)

But this week....I discovered the German versions of Home Depot and Lowe's AND gathered up the courage/vocabulary to ask them to cut some wood.  Today, I put it all together with my trusty drill and by some miracle it all worked!

Now there's a nice table in the hall to match my cute ballet flats  hall rug and red Billy bookshelves. More importantly, the Aboriginal paintings now have a home, since the walls are pretty much stone and hanging them just wasn't a good option.

A good week's work...now time to enjoy the long weekend!
