the ongoing story of us





S and i have been busy with our new apartment for the past weeks.
we both feel that home is the ongoing story of a person. somewhere deep, deep in our subconscious there is an idea of this perfect home. it looks beautiful, it smells delicious and everyone is always happy. a persistent and pernicious voice tells us that this is the kind of home where we should live, that if we make this kind of home, love will blossom. love is not a girl scout badge earned for top marks in domestic science. it is a consequence of intimacy, not decoration. home can be where the heart is - but it has nothing to do with images of perfection.
