Week 2 Progress

I’m nearly at the end of Week Two of the Apartment Therapy cure, and I’ve made great progress. I have finished my wardrobe, which is now bright shiny white inside with shelves for shoes and a compartment at the back for out of season clothes.

Yesterday, the plasterer came to mend the wall in the sitting room, so as soon as the plaster dries I can start building my first alcove cupboard. We also took the old sofa to the tip yesterday, and I am waiting right now for the Edwardian drop-arm sofa I bought at the weekend to be delivered. No sign of it yet, though.

While Andy was busy with the plastering and doing a bit of repointing on the brickwork outside, I attacked the kitchen and cleared out all the cupboards, cleaned the fridge and defrosted the freezer. I have filled up my Outbox with unwanted tupperware and kicthen bits and bobs, and filled a whole bin liner with out of date food and rubbish. I’ve also offered a couple of paintings from the sitting room to my brother. It feels good to get rid of this clutter.
