What is your favorite room and why? My desk corner. I get to work by the window and watch the rain on the ivy on the apartment across the way.

What’s the last thing you bought (or found!) for your home? I bought the book shelf with glass shelves. I wanted something that separated the bed a bit but didn’t block the light.
