Conversion

One of the more interesting projects we've undertaken (besides, you know, getting married) is the renovation of my current apartment to be our apartment. We don't want it to feel like she just moved in with me, we want it to feel like we have our first place together. So, I've authorized a complete redesign of every room of the house. The only space that will remain largely untouched is my office, where I spend most of my days and do most of my work.

Very little will actually happen until July--a new piece of furniture here, clearing some space there. But the plans have been largely drawn up, much of the furniture chosen, and there are paint chips taped to the walls of several rooms in the house. The transformation will be nothing short of marvelous.

I watch and participate in this flurry of imaginative activity with no small amount of appreciation and awe--I've long dreamed of living in a beautiful space, and have always settled for a decent space. My days of decency, it seems, are numbered, and I count myself lucky on that front.
