Making a New Apartment Feel Like Home
Several months ago, I found a job in a new city and drove all the way across the country. Settling in a new apartment is always an exciting experience; the white walls present a blank canvas that can be decorated any way I like. Spending time in such a barren, sterile environment drives me crazy, which is why I immediately went online in search of some oil paintings.
My favorite kind of art transports me to a different era or at least a different physical location. If I can’t take the time to travel to distant lands myself, I can at least take a momentary journey of the mind by living vicariously through an impressionist painting. Furniture and other home decorating essentials can wait a while – the first order of business is to dress up the walls.
