Milestone: the studio is now to a point where more or less everything in the room has either been granted permission to stay or a definite plan to be removed as conditions allow (since this includes some furniture that needs to be picked up by or dropped off at various places). Now the emphasis in there shifts to "okay, so exactly where is this supposed to be?", which... could be nearly as big of a job. And next there's Mum's room to start on, with more furniture-moving and the closet-that's-not-exactly-bigger-on-the-inside... we will be at the Great Houseclean of '12 for weeks yet, but this morning we both looked into the studio (which has BIG GLASS DOORS to reveal its shame to the living-room) and said to each other, "hey, that actually looks like a real room now", or sentiments to that effect. So, Progress, indeed. Remind me of this moment when I start whinging about the storage under the stairs...
