We've been decluttering and fixing things up at home. It feels great! I swapped out my bedside bookcase for a low table, which I disassembled, varnished, and reassembled. We're currently varnishing some pine shelves that we've routed to be IKEA-compatible. I enjoy helping W- with this sort of stuff, and I'm looking forward to learning more about making boxes and other containers.
