Back again with another quick update before October is over. I truly can’t believe how quick this month has flown by! Here in Berlin, I feel like we’ve blown right past autumn and fallen straight into winter — especially with this soft light.
The autumn colors around the city have been beautiful this season, but it’s also been consistently cold, overcast and rainy this month. So we’ve been warming up for the winter coziness by spending a lot of time in our flat. Sven’s company already has him in home-office for the foreseeable future, and he has been working here with me for the last two weeks. It’s nice to have so much time together, but it feels quite abnormal too. I think that a lot of people are feeling a bit bleak right now, considering what seems to be on the horizon for the months to come. But as ever, we make the best of it. Still, I’ve been feeling a little “out-of-it” lately and have been having a hard time keeping a good flow going between work and life — not sure if it’s the time change, the weather, or this Covid cloud that’s been looming over the whole world!
To keep the energy up in our flat, I made a few changes last week and rearranged the living room. Since we’re not using the balcony that much right now I decided to move the sofa in front of the windows. I think it makes the space feel more open and formal, and it’s nice to have a fresh setup. Not sure how long we’ll keep it this way, but for the moment the view feels good. I still have a few more plans to change other details, like the living room curtains, and I want to get some supplies to create a large painting for the bedroom. Here are a few recent snapshots from my iPhone… just casual details from around our home.
Hope you all are well and healthy!
Xx, Rebecca
