The feel of the hammer hitting walls, tiles crashing to the floor, wall being exposed in their natural state. Layers of paint and wallpaper - yellow, green, blue & orange.
I used to the love the TV show, "If Walls Could Talk". If our kitchen walls could talk, they'd be telling the story of three families who've lived in our 1948 Cape Cod. The first family not as fortunate as us to have the kitchen space we've enjoyed these past 32 years. Their kitchen was much like the kitchen rendering that I included in my very first post. The second family added on the structure we have today, and us, well, we're gutting it all to make our own signature.
My friend Marie asked me this past week if I felt spiritually refreshed with all of the old going away and the new coming. What a great metaphor for life. We often have to destroy the things of the past in order to experience the new. Marie, I think you're on to something.
Today's picture shows some bare walls - a fresh pallet and new designs to add. It's an exciting journey to wipe the slate clean and add fresh touches. Guess all of this talk about demolition is making me a bit philosophical this morning.
It's a Saturday - what can you get rid of today that will lighten your load or give you a fresh perspective today? Hope it doesn't involve hammers and crashing tiles, but it just might!
