As someone who's very new to the idea of interior design (nothing like a pandemic to make you fixate on your living space!), I've recently really glommed onto this notion of incremental improvement. I'm not even sure that it's incremental in the sense of progress toward an end, since these choices take place over a long enough period that I've changed in between, so much as an increasing confidence in making pleasing choices in the moment and forget about the future. I suppose, though, it _is_ incremental in the sense of exactly what you're showing in your entries: a kind of fossil record of changes in yourself that have calcified in the choices you've made. Archeology of the self!

I need a business card that says I'm an archeologist now.
