Brightly coloured, but weathered, maybe with some sort of intricate metal knocker or one of those post flap thingies. The kind of door that you walk past and say ālook at that doorā. This is the sort of vibe:

Currently house-hunting and so happy when I find one with brown tiles and yellow shagpile carpet or a coloured-brick entryway with some funky bathtub... some woodpanel wallpaper or stained glass. Fills me with joy to be in a place with some character and history and imagine which parts of it I could preserve if it was mine.

Iām not sure about the exterior - maybe an old apartment in Paris or NYC, maybe a traditional little house in coastal Italy, maybe something else entirely. Inside, to sum it up, eclectic. Furniture and decorations Iāll have gathered over the years, the best things will have a story behind them. Thereāll be books in every single room, and somewhere to actually sit and read them. While Iām at it, same goes for music, record players or a radio or an instrument in every room. Stationary and arty stuff everywhere, too, Iād like to be able to create as soon as the mood hits. Also, a really nice tv with shelves near it that will hold an extensive DVD collection - physical media everywhere! Pictures on every wall, regardless of if they have any sort of relevance to each other, just whatever I think is cool. Plates and mugs and cutlery and stuff will all be mismatched, the only common theme being āI think itās cuteā. Plants everywhere. Warm lighting, preferably mostly ambient. Plenty of blankets and cushions and rugs (all the floors will be wood or tile, no carpet). Some sort of cool feature, like a balcony, or maybe a window seat. Oh my god, the things Iād do to have a balcony!! Completely maximalist, but in a balanced way - cozy, not overwhelming. Nice windows, also. The vibe is teenage girl meets chic grandma, but also the kind of thing my friends would see and say āomg thatās SO you!!ā

Video someone you love whilst they talk. Record the sound of the birds singing at your grandparentsā house, the sound of traffic in the distance. Write about literally anything, or even just make notes of what you think. Make shitty art, whether itās poetry or painting or music. One day, youāll be glad that you have more than just photos to remember your life by; thereāll be evidence you lived.
