The Inspiration
“~Groucho Marx Taking a deep breath, I enter my apartment. After the alarm shuts off without a problem, I survey the living room with the fresh perspective of a new day. It makes me feel better to focus on the beauty of the room, even with the bookshelves emptied on the floor and the furniture askew. I look up at Max’s angel painting on the mantel and feel a wave of joy that his precious gift is still there.
As I put things away in the living room, I remember back when Riley and I painted three of the walls brown and one turquoise. Because of Riley’s persistence, we spent several days stenciling a paisley pattern in a slightly lighter shade onto that turquoise wall. The effect was beautiful.
The turquoise and brown retro rug with large sixties-style flowers that Riley found set the tone for the room. She has such a great design eye. Eventually, we upgraded our furniture from hand-me-downs to low chenille couches and an eclectic group of lamps.
