I wanted to upload a picture of Setsubun, but I was not able to go to anywhere this year. I am working on many things at the same time trying to complete my vacation house project. I wish I have an assistant who can do anything for me. What I have is my roommate cat "Taffy"
I visited an antique shop briefly today to see a traditional Japanese furniture for the kitchen (for the vacation rental house), but I am not sure if I really like it and its price. So I have to look for more in next week. I also stopped at the renovation site,and the bath and toilet are getting close to be finished ( they are completely new) and other parts of work should be done by Feb. 15, I hope. They were working hard.
I still need to buy a lot of staff for my vacation house.....a lot. It is like a having a second house so I need everything. But, it is fun to find what I like and decorate it.....this is the fun part of this project!
