I stay at home, and I am shaped by it, at least 160 hours every week, except on holidays

​

This was true even before the current pandemic. I just love my home, how I've set it up, and how I mostly arrange for everyone and everything to "come to me."

​

I owned a house once back in the 1980s. After that, I decided that I much preferred to rent/lease. I've lived in my current 250-square-meter, 2700-square-foot apartment in Kunming, China for over eleven years now, with a lease for at least another three years.

Eclectic home decorations

​

Even though I rent, I bring more creativity and intent to "decorating" my home, as well as keeping it organized and neat, so as to inspire me than most others do with their homes. Of course, my taste in decoration is very eclectic. Some guests have said my home is like a museum. Others have said it's like a children's fairy land.

The photo above shows one of the two "outdoor" swings that I have in my salon room.

​

Each of the following photos shows a line of a simple poem that I wrote that's pasted on the steps of my stairs that takes me from the salon room up to my office. So I get inspired every time I climb my stairs.
