Minimalism

St Denis
Yesterday's weather: warm, mixed (still)

The kitchen walls are stripped bare of shelves and I just love it. It makes the room look spacious and light. I wish I could keep it that way but I know what will happen.

We'll start off saying 'Let's not put anything on the walls'. Then the clock will go up, followed by the glass shelf over the sink where we keep pots of herbs, or, I should rather say, where we try to keep pots of herbs as we aren't very successful at keeping them for very long.

Next will be a little shelf for the tea and coffee jars. Maybe we should put the microwave on a shelf out of the way and why not put the stereo on a shelf so that we can use the top of the buffet for a couple of fruit bowls?

A few pictures over there would look nice and a shelf just there for a lamp.....

It'll go on and evolve for months but one thing is pretty certain, my longed-for minimalist look will gradually give way to 'homely' and practical (that is jargon for a bit of a mess but everything to hand).
