From one renovation project to another

Easter was special this year



From a warm sunny Belgium to a cold but beautiful Sweden.
From one renovation project to another.
I spent my Easter meeting family and friends, planning for new projects, painting kitchen doors, choosing wall colours and of cours eating eggs and drinking bubbles. It was everything from cleaning a barn, the kids putting all different chairs and tables together to make room for friends in a house where we have nothing, painting some doors asking people to take care when they where passing to help in the kitchen. Dreaming about wallpapers and colours. Making fires to keep warm. Convincing the kids that wifi and TV is overestimated.  
And back to Brussels for Easter celebration again in another setting with tablecloth and dinner cooked by someone else. Speaking another language with other traditions. Very happy to feel home in both countries,  and the differences makes you appreciate things even more.
I will be back in Sweden renovating in July. Hopefully it will be a bit warmer by then.
