their own little world

this is my favorite room in our new apartment. we've just finished decorating it. the morning light, the used pages of Sean and Will's favorite book, the small cars they are never too old to play with, the bookcases I have assembled myself and the feeling of total body exhaustion. everything is now embedded in my sense memory.

I wanted to create a warm, fun and inviting place for Sean and Will to retreat to after a long day at school. a place that would foster dreams and loud giggles. inspire stories and spontaneous drawing. a place that would constantly remind us to let go, to be playful, to be silly. what's most important in our lives. a recollection of our boundless, unconditional love.

hopefully. this is a place my children will remember fondly twenty years from now.

I know I will.
