I nested a bit more today. I was beginning to worry that this space would never actually feel quite like home, but I think I made a lot of progress. I gave my walls a little more attention with the last few photos, collages, and Alice In Wonderland posters that were hiding in my closet. Incense, also, strangely makes me feel at home in any place. No matter what particular scent a stick may be, they all register in my brain as comfort and openness. My room finally feels done, and it finally feels (and smells) like mine. Andrew Bird's sweet melodies help, too. Kim and I also completely cleaned off the deck and commandeered a small grill we found on the steps- all that's left out there is to find some furniture. Once we get that, and finish decorating the "dining room," I think all will feel done and all will feel like home.
