I look at these beautiful images of homes with not a thing out of place, and wonder does anyone live there? Depsite a day long effort, my home is run down, with stains on the sofa, marks on the wall , a chip here and a crack there. In constant need of reconstruction! Those rooms are perfect , but probably dont have stories of spilled drinks and broken glasses and dent in the leather. Of my grandmother's armchair and my erratic gardening skills. People move on but the tales are carried forward. That is life...that is how you remain alive. PS The image is by a skilled photographer, who made even the mundane look magical !
