Last week we went to Ikea and bought a bookshelf and a small TV unit. That means that we finally unpacked all our CDs and installed the stereo in the living room AND we unpacked most of our books. This might sound rather mundane and not at all related to creativity…quite the contrary, I must say. Because it means that the boxes under my desk are gone, the boxes by my computer area are gone and the stereo on my desk is gone. GONE! And now my art room is actually starting to feel more inviting.
The living area, too, looks much better. It actually feels like home and no longer has the sad look typical of rented properties. That makes our evenings, usually spent sitting on the sofa in front of the fire engaged in various pleasant activities, much more enjoyable. And during the day I can finally listen to my favourite music.
Most important, being able to have access to my precious books and music – after more than a year! it’s just invaluable…
