The list is very brief at this point in time, but
my head is full of ideas; my little flat, the barely scratched surface of which
was recently presented, is also overflowing to the brim with jobs half started.
I walk from room to room and future visions compete
with each other. I have something very tangible to focus on, but I want to do
it really right, and if I can avoid the trial and error method (I cannot, at
this point in time), wouldn't that be great?
One of my favorite thoughts is that there is no
good wind for a ship without destination. Some attribute it to Seneca; I heard
it from a beloved French professor who taught me book-keeping. So, as a tribute
to him, a very trim list of reasons, my personal whys, my multiple
destinations:
- Log my progress
on my apartment's works and design evolution
- Have a
soundboard for ideas – because I am not yet there where I know how good in
reality will be something which is good on paper?
- Learn,
learn, learn – interior design, DIY and blogging rolled into one
- Discuss
ideas which I may not necessarily believe in yet – concepts and methods I find
in books, on TV shows and elsewhere. This is important, because sometimes it is
necessary to play with some method, or process, before it is put in practice.
Important thing is to reveal the benefits/downsides and if this will make me a
guinea pig, why not?
- Hoping to connect to people
facing that precise challenge exactly now, or planning to do so later
- Share
experience good and bad, for future reference. Even if success is certain, why
not describe the path, and let people decide for themselves if it is worth the
efforts?
- Be
creative – work my right brain, meditate my free hours, explore the visual
beyond immediate application.
And of course, a list of destinations is not a
route. There most certainly is a rational way to go about it, but for the time
being I am enjoying the journey.
Next post therefore will be about studying, and
eventually learning. Something.
I sincerely hope that this is going to be first and
last post with no illustrations.
