Today in Photo

Finally some art on our walls! The living room feels a little less bare (had to remove the carpet because it was just a dust and cat hair magnet and I was sneezing all over the place.) The first picture is actually from the first exhibition we attended in Berlin, last July. It was about English speaking writers in Berlin in the 20s and 30s and was really well laid out, lots of sound installations and a thumbnail portrait of Berlin at the time (very gay.) I kept the pamphlet they gave me at the door because I suddenly had this vision of framing it and hanging it up in a future flat. It says "Happy In Berlin?" and that seemed like a good omen, that and the connection to other writers who have lived in this city over the decades. The second picture is a painting by K's mother and I chose it from her collection because I liked the blues and the reds which is slowly emerging as the "colour scheme" we have for this room. With yellow. And grey. #settlingin #houseproud #berlinna
