- a home that is safe and warm
- that is totally accepting of my incessant need to experiment and change things up {like a little brother that gets dolled up in girls' frocks}
- that carries the juxtaposition of bold color and comfort so well
- that holds the scents of my life...fig, balsam, honey, coffee...
- that speaks to me via creaky wood floors and the various soft hums of its many mechanisms
- that seems to want to be just what I want it to be: an artist's house, a place to nurture a soul
