Oh, to live near the East-church

November 16, 2017 By Marit 1 Comment

Hihi beautiful people… I greet you on this Thursday morning. A day later than you are used to and so there’s no desk photo. I had all kinds of appointments yesterday and no time to photograph my desk or write a post.

First, I had a dentist appointment and after that we went to view a house to see if it would be a place we want to live. Yes, we’re planning on moving and are looking for a new home. The apartment we live in is not a place to stay. Although it is a spacious place, it is a concrete block built in the 1970s and therefor very noisy, which means we have a lot of noise pollution from the neighbors and the neighbourhood we live in.

Anyway, we went for a house viewing yesterday but I had a tendency to immediately turn around the minute I walked in… the place was a lot smaller and the balcony made me sad… right at the road and too small to make it comfy, not a place to sit in the Summer. We will probably spend all winter here, listening to the top neighbour walk around, shifting furniture and turn in her bed at night. Keep your fingers crossed we find some place nice to live soon.

This experience made me remember the art journal spread I created a couple of weeks ago. It’s about a neighbourhood that I would love to live… the nicest big Dome Church called the ‘East-church’ stands right in the middle and the streets and houses are beautiful. It’s just a lovely neighbourhood.

I called my spread: Oh, to live near the East Church!

Today is a grey day that I plan to spend in my atelier… at least that is a nice place to be!
I hope you spend your day in a nice place too, thanks for stopping by.

    Love this spread, Marit. I know all about not living where you want to be, but it’s great that you are looking now and hopefully will find something soon!
