My brother spontaneously moved out last weekend and I’ve now inherited his side of the house. It’s basically just two bedrooms and a kitchen, but I’ll have a lot more privacy than before, which is always a bonus.

I’m planning to redecorate the first bedroom with kind of a Venetian feel (I really wanted to use the word ambience here, just because I’ve never used it in a sentence before, but I couldn’t, it sounded soo pretentious), and the second bedroom I want to convert into a studio/study. No plans for the kitchen thus far, but I doubt I’ll be using it much anyway. Except to possibly store homely items like 50s housewife aprons and novelty salt-and-pepper shakers and babushka doll measuring cups, an adorable illusion to the oblivious passerby that I’m some kind of suburban housewife (though, let’s face it, everyone knows I don’t bake/cook/touch appliances that generate heat).

I’ll probably post updates as I go along, just because I have little else to post by way of photos.
