Paulownia chest







Since completion of parents' house remodeling, refuged stuff still not be replaced and Japanese style rooms are almost empty. Japanese display shelf and such kind of furnitures have been replaced in their original position, and 2 beds for parents are in one room. That's the actual progress. Mom's Paulownia chest is in the new living room but I am hanging back from replacing other wardrobes in their original positions.On the last Sunday, I had dropped by thrift shop after between dropping off and picking up my wife. buried in many wardrobes, there were two Paulownia chests stacked in two story. They seemed almost new, and were very cheap. After I picked my wife up, returned to the shop and bought them. Storage is improved by them.Next, I have remodeled Japanese closet (armoire) as wardrobe, as pictured. Inside wall was finished with plaster. I had attached hanging rails in back and front so cloths can be hanged in two layers. This is a typical measure to avoid placing Europian or American wardrobes into Japanese style rooms. It may cause inconvenience but ask parents to be patient.

Halloween decoration







I am off today to take my father to periodical medical check, and have a time to write blog.
I have decorated with Halloween stuffs this season, too. Most of the stuffs were from LA with us, but they are still in good condition because they are displayed for about one month once a year. I decorated our main house with them by last year but not this year because decoration is not suitable for main house which has been completed remodeling with typical Japanese appearance. We have candy bags even though no children would come with Trick or Treat.
