" I liked the painting with the raven, because my late daughter loved them."

I was standing at the desk, ready to buy the charcoal painting that was part of the 2025 Community Art Awards Exhibition. Asked about why I have chosen this one, we started sharing. And with our choice of artworks, came the personal stories.

I will never get tired of repeating that art makes the home. It allows us to express who we are, tell our story and our personality.

I have connected with the 'The Quiet Weight of Memory', because it reminds me of the places and homes I have left behind. Of the many old homes in Bulgaria, the country I came from, that are long forgotten and abandoned. And yet, you still can see the signs of the lives lived there.

This is a story that can be seen everywhere around the world. The places that once have been home. And now are not. I see them as not 'things' but as 'beings', with a soul of their own. And I feel urge to save them. But I can't. So I focus on saving (aka making better) the ones that I can.

What artworks speak to you? Tell me about your favourite!

Tim.Tam! 😜

Did that get your attention?

One of my newsletter subscribers has 'tim tam' in her email name - I love it!

As a true sugar addict - if I could, I would send tim tams to all my email subscribers who read, respond, and contribute to these electronic communication exchanges. But I can't!

So, I am inviting you to 'join the club' with the promise that:

- from time to time you will get juicy discounts of up to 50% on my consultations (limited time offers, of course 😝)

- will be the first to know where and on what I will be presenting (new topics coming up!)

- and regularly will get my tips and advise on topics related to interior design and home living (all spiced up with a pinch of Psychology, for sure).

See you in my maaailbooox!
