why do I have to be so cutting-edge and experimental

Sometimes I write about my trials and travails with putting things up on the walls, because I’ve come to realize that doing so is actually fairly important to me. It’s the way I make a space “mine”. Some people move into a new house and need to re-paint, or change the flooring or get new furniture or whatever. I put up pictures and posters.

On the other hand, when I go to places where the occupants have gone for a more “clean” or “minimal” look on the walls I just can’t help but feel that the place isn’t as comfortable or home-y as I’d like. It makes the the occupation of that place feel temporary, like visiting a friend without taking off your jacket. [November 14, 2011]
