* What does your home mean to you?

Once, a friend of mine joked that my home is like a shell, a kind of shelter with internet access, referring to my life as a contemporary hermit :)So, to me a home means a place where I can be on my own and work in complete silence, but it's also great when friends come over for dinner; I love bright and cosy houses with fridges full of goodies!

* You've recently moved to your new apartment. What were the most important conditions for your new home?

I wanted it bright and spacious and preferably with central heating, because I'm a shivery type.This apartment was built in the thirties, and actually I had this kind of architecture in mind when I was looking for a new place, so I'm a happy girl now.

* What's your favourite object in your home?

I'm not really attached to any object in particular, but I couldn't live without my yarns; I really like to rumble in my stuff :)
