so here’s the thing, though we moved to a bigger place with a second room that could be (and was so far) my office, i wasn’t completely happy with it. i have to admit that though this house is amazing, i miss our old house light a lot. the sun coming inside our bedroom and kitchen in the morning, setting on the living-room, light was never a problem! i always saw it as a great thing, but now i see it an even more amazing thing. i’m so addicted to light, i need it so much during my day… i would not fit to move to those countries that don’t have much light during winter months. i kept buying white furniture for the other house, because it was tiny and i needed to feel it brighter and more spacious. now we have the space, but white furniture keeps doing the trick to make it even better!
so this saturday i convinced mr twiggs to move things around and i moved part of my office to our dining-room. i can look through the window all day long and look at the sky, our orange tree, the neighbours’ cats on our backyard, if it rains or if the sun shines. i’m happy now! and we have ourselves a room for guests, yet to be decorated! you can see that ikea is still my main source of furniture and accessories! the lamp was the last thing i bought, i wanted it for so long!
oh and that laptop belongs to mr twiggs, with which i work for the photo editing, as mine simply dies while i try to do that. i expect to soon replace it with a glorious and dreamy 21″ imac! but let’s move forward with baby steps, so right now i just need to get some work done and these laptops to continue to work just fine!
Gina says
It’s so lovely! I hope I can have one as pretty and as tidy as yours! Love it!
twiggs says
thank you gina!! i really enjoy my office now so much more! i was really happy that i could have a whole room for myself, but the light issue was killing me and it was colder, because there was hardly any direct sun! so now i’m so happy here… with the view and the light! i hope to catch some sun soon! hopefully!
Ana says
So neat and full of light. :)
How I wished to have one just as sunny.
twiggs says
light is incredibly important and though i was already aware, i wasn’t this aware! it’s a blessing!!!

Que cantinho tão giro com um ar tão leve e fresco ! Adorei os muscaris, os meus “não passam da cepa torta ” e adorei o telefone !! Os meus pais tinham um assim, já se pode considerar um objecto vintage certo ? Tenho de o procurar ;) Bjs
twiggs says
os muscaris… pois, comprei-os outra vez este ano e não sei o que lhe fazer quando começarem a cair todos e a ficarem só os bolbos. mas acho-lhes tanta piada!!! e são tão frescos, dão logo um ar primaveril à casa! e neste momento estava a precisar mesmo de um ar primaveril cá por casa! beijinhos!!
MissLilly says
wow I was right! I do feel the same as you do concerning light! My wish was to have a house full of light everywhere, which is not the case now. Actually the office is the division that has more light, that and my beedroom!! I love white furniture for the same reason too, and white walls and everything. beautiful and inspiring :D specially with that amazing garden of yours, it must be quite a view
twiggs says
oh yes, light is so important! and i believe that even more when you are left without it! like you now appreciate lisbon’s light even more than you did, right? ;)

I have a corner in our bedroom, next to the window, I call studio. I wish I had a separate room with more space for my photo experiments, but this is a temporary home, so the possibility to have one one day is high.
Love your space, clean, white and harmonious :)
And, another thing: I have a 21′ Mac and be careful when you buy it. It’s not that glorious as it seems, especially if you’re “lucky” enough to get one with yellow clouds on the screen (hard to avoid because almost all have this bug, even worst with 27′. I strongly recommend you a MacBook instead).
twiggs says
i think the most important thing is to feel good where you work and have a good amount of light! be it small, be it spacious, a corner or a whole room, that’s not the important! i was on a corner of the living-room too on our last house, well it was the whole wall for me! and i loved it too! and though there’s a room now for it, i feel really happy here! the window light is like a breathe of fresh air to me! thanks for the tip on the imac!!! who knew?!
