We've repainted a room, or, rather, we hired an expert to do it. Amateurs
removed an amazing number of objects prior to the redecorating --they pretty
much cluttered up two other rooms. Now it's time to put things back. But not
the same way. We're moving pictures around. Every time we get a new
painting, photo, whatever, we decide where to put it and have to
move six others to new walls. We've never moved just one, never. What's
that about? Four things that have never been in that room before are the
first things hung. It's nice. It changes your life to see an old photo,
print or painting in a new place, in new light. It's going to take forever ...
