1. The Decision: Byzantine
My current apartment is doing nothing for my political – I mean spiritual – life. Time for a big move!
.
2. First Hopes And Dreams About The New Apartment: Gothic
Not super concerned with what the new place looks like, but it’s gotta be sturdy and made out of something nice. Jewel tones are a must.
.
3. Edging Away From Rigid Expectations: Early Renaissance
You know what, super nice places are boring, and probably a little out of my budget. But this little attic apartment over the liquor store is tres char-ment.
.
4. Unreasonable Expectations About Self As Designer Take Hold: High Renaissance
Cool, I signed the lease! And you know what, screw all those other fancy apartments I looked at. This one is gonna be everything I liked about THOSE, except BETTER because it’s ME and it’s NOW.
.
5. Possibly Illegal Treatment Of The Lease, or, What The Landlord Doesn’t Know Doesn’t Hurt Him, or, If It Ain’t Baroque …
Wait wait wait, ok. I think this apartment needs more movement. How about we blast this wall out, move the doorway over here, fill this in, change the counter top, and put a FOUNTAIN in the middle?!
.
6. Things Get Playful: Rococo
I WANT AN ACCENT WALL.
.
7. Class It Up In Here: Neoclassicism
Ok, so maybe things are getting a little too crazy. I’ll hang THIS. Saw it on my hipster friend’s iPhone case. Looks like a thing a seriously smart person would hang. I think that’s Abe Lincoln checking the French lady out. Cool.
.
8. Unpacking: Romanticism
Ohhhhhh man. I remember when this photo was taken. Back in my other apartment… with my friend who lived next door … Seems so long ago now.
.
9. Getting Analytical: Impressionism
Everything about the lighting in here is wrong.
.
10. Exhaustion And Emotional Overcharge Begin To Take A Toll: German Expressionism
THESE BOXES WILL NEVER BE UNPACKED AND LIFE IS RUINED
.
11. Lose Perspective To Gain It: Cubism
I think I just need some distance. Yeah. Distance. And when I come back, I’ll be able to identify the problems better and find solutions.
If anybody needs me, I’ll be out sailing on Lake Michigan.
.
12. Sudden Clarity About What’s Important In A Home: Dada
WHOA, EPIPHANY. You GUYS. What if a home ISN’T a home. Like a house, I mean. What if we’re not SUPPOSED to live in houses? What if we’re supposed to rebel against the whole, you know, housing THING.
.
13. Minimalism
If anyone needs me, I’ll be living in this yurt.
Hahaha I love this. (Especially because I recently signed a lease, myself.)
