A new Home for a new Life.
As I moved out of my studio in the 6th arrondissement, I moved in to a small and cheaper flat in the 10th and had to make all my stuff fit in.
I sold the large double desk, donated 2000 books to the local public library and turned the new place into a three dimensional scrapbook much inspired by my recent trips to India.
Originally white, I painted the ceiling dark brown and the walls in a shade of drab to balance the awkward proportions of the room.
I was not in a sedentary mood then and had recently become passionate about sailing.
This little flat became my harbor between long travels and had to shelter the memories of my adventures across the sea. Between the urban and the exotic, this place is me, entirely.

Wonderful. Thanks for giving us a look.
i love the way you use light. the darkness. the witching hour, where truth becomes reality.
Like always wonderful pictures, love the space, makes me think of the apartment we use when we're in paris :-)
What a work out :-)
I wish i would move my ass to the gym

Ivan, did you start over with the books? I think yes. How many abodes are we to travel to-or is that skipping ahead too much.
Inspiring space, beautifully photographed, intriguing tale. To be continued...
