I AM MOVING OUT AND I LOVE MY APARTMENT. I LOVE THE ELABORATE WALL ART I'VE MADE OUT OF FREE POSTCARDS, I LOVE ALL MY FILM FESTIVAL POSTERS, I LOVE MY CURTAINS, AND I LOVE MY WINDOWS. HOW WILL I EVER BE ABLE TO TAKE IT ALL WITH ME AND REPLICATE IT IN A NEW (MOST LIKELY MUCH TINIER) APARTMENT?? I FEAR I WON'T!
SO I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT MINIMALISM. THE TRANSIENT LIFE MUST BE THE MINIMALISTIC ONE, RIGHT? ANY GOOD VAGABOND HAS TAUGHT US THAT. SO I'VE STARTED MAKING A LIST: ONE GREEN NALGENE, ONE BEN & JERRYS THERMOS, ONE MOLESKIN, TWO PRECISE V5 PENS, TWO BLACK DRESSES, ETC. BUT THEN I CAME ACROSS AN ARTICLE ABOUT PRODUCTION DESIGNER FORD WHEELER IN THE NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE - AND HE'S GIVEN ME NEW FAITH!
HE IS THE MOST ELEGANT, ECLECTIC, AND FASHIONABLE OF PACK RATS. HE'S KEPT EVERYTHING THROUGHOUT THE YEARS AND HAS MADE HIS NYC LOFT INTO A MUSEUM OF SORTS FOR HIS COLLECTION. HIS ROOMS ARE COLORFUL, CRAZY, AND SIMPLY INSPIRATIONAL.
NEW GAME PLAN: KEEP IT ALL.
HEY, GRANDMA - CAN I STORE IT IN YOUR GARAGE??
