← CHAPTER OVERVIEW
LET’S MAKE YOUR HOME LOOK LIKE YOUR BEST-SELF LIVES THERE!
Dear Creatrix,
How do you feel in your home today?
I’ve asked you a lot of questions and hopefully shattered some illusions in the last lesson, so you can move on in a way that will actually work and bring you the results you desire.
So let’s take a breath because it is really earth-shattering work.
And as a treat, today we will move on to the more practical aspects, again because no matter what your plans are, whether you want to stay or go, this will make your life so much better and easier.
But before we start with this, I will share my answers to some of the questions with you, as I know it can be difficult to be completely honest here, if you’re not used to being that all the time yet, and so reading someone elses expereinces simply can help to access your own.
And I want to start here: I’m a feeling person.
So I feel a lot of things when I enter somebody’s home. I’m also a curious and attentive person, and reading someone’s home is a secret passion of mine.
Looking into people’s houses as well – it’s a great pastime in winter when it gets dark out early (where I live, as it changes, and when it’s brighter outside as inside, it’s harder to look in 😉 ).
I don’t know what you fantasized about as a child, or what you were dreaming about, but I looked at people’s houses and imagined the lives they had. And the houses I enjoyed looking at the most were the ones that felt alive.
Where you could see the love and that people did things intentionally. Now, very few people I knew growing up had houses like that. Or, most probably, no one.
It’s just one of these things, and passions I was born with, and maybe also, why I wanted to become an architect, but I’ll tell you more about that at a later point.
So, on the one hand, I felt I was very judgemental and critical and didn’t understand why everyone around me was so tasteless (but I would have never said it out loud), and on the other hand I was so used to seeing things that didn’t fulfil me aesthetically, that I learned to ignore my judgement and kind of learned to not care at all as well.
Also, because I saw and experienced that love can be present in not very aesthetically pleasing houses.
I religiously read about interior design though and rearranged my room and built myself furniture (because my parents didn’t feel like buying me the designer furniture I fancied) and my mum also had a great job to fire my interest.
She had a small travel agency, and at a time when that was still legal and possible, helped people rent out their private houses in Spain, which meant that we got to stay in some of these houses and also looked at different houses, mostly beach houses, or renovated farms, some houses especially built, but many full of love and charmingly built and designed, on all of our holidays.
So I started dreaming about one day renovating an old house myself because I am also the magical, mystical being I am, and I like the energies in old houses much better than in newly built houses.
