Alice McFlurry 
What I wouldn’t give to just be whelmed.
I'd give anything to be a minimalist.
This is just a joke. I’m definitely a minimalist. This is what my apartment looks like and I’m low-key upset about the "clutter" that is my tower fan, but it's hot and I don't have air conditioning so I’m DEALING with it.
Dan Kloke This is delightful, Alice! Informally elegant, effortlessly and un-ostentatiously sophisticated, light and free and soothing in its colors, ready to participate in the seasonal palettes through uncurtained windows and a more demure balcony. My late dad, an outsider architect, would have been thrilled by and approved of your selections and composition … isn't that a reel-to-reel film projector I see on the floor besides the far credenza? It adds to the delicate timelessness of your collected modern-style elements. Absolutely marvelous, in its parts and its whole. 
@dkloke Oh wow. This is so beautifully written and means so much to me.
I've moved a lot and I’m not terribly sentimental so I give away a lot of things to my friends whenever I move, but there is a small assortment of items I've been dragging along with me for years because they help to make any new place feel like home.
None of the items are fancy or rare or worth anything, but they all mean a lot to me.
@Alice Fantastic collection! I love to see this stuff.
