apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Ever since my first trip to Europe. . .my profound desire for home, for the profoundly beautiful nest, the kitchen garden, the friends gathered at my table, for the candlelit baths, and the objects arranged and the books in order, and most of all the sense of this is my place -- all that has been at the mercy of an equal force, the desire to shut the door, turn the key, and go.
