In the last years I lived in lots of places. I still remember the spacious, clear and lighted room and the humid, dark and tiny room in Madrid. I lived on a cool multinational house in Toronto but also with a family on a cellar. My last experience was on a tiny apartment in Seoul with Ann.

All of those places had in common one thing. I was living with other people. My apartment in Würzburg is my first place of my own.

Apartment in Würzburg

Now I have mats on the floors instead of massive amounts of dust. I have boxes filled with stuff instead of big piles of stuff. I have clear walls instead of circuit boards hanging from the wall. And I have stuff that has no other reason to be there than look nice.

It’s not a secret that I have no style. I’m a square headed male engineer and I have a pure analytical mind. I appreciate functionality over style. When I tried to decorate something the result is always a mess. I really like how the pictures look on decoration magazines, but I was not able to create nice spaces combining shapes and colors by my own.

This time I had the opportunity to take over Janette’s apartment. She worked for a decoration company on the last years and according to her, this place is her personal masterpiece. It really looks clean and nice. Zen. After taking out all her pink stuff , her princess palace become my apartment.
