There is a reason to be back in France for a time. The apartment here is having the 'travaux' done by three painters and an electrician and a plumber. They are proud French professionals but they need some supervision, so that the result will please the foreign customers taste.
Differences in perception of what is beautiful have to be solved. Our home will not become a 'Kelmscott House' but the colors of the William Morris curtains give me inspiration and support.
WM said in his writings about interior decoration:
"Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful".
When I unpack the boxes I will think about his advice.
Useful - yes, beautiful - yes and what about all the things which trigger memories? We want to hold on to those!
