IDEAL HOME TRUTHS
What is your next home project?
The walls in my flat are ridiculously high for someone who owns little to no art, so my next task is trying to find or paint lovely things to hang up there. My aim is to pick things up at nearby markets and shops so that everything feels unique to this space.
