I’ve been lucky enough in my life to have been able to live in many places. Whether it be Seattle, New York, Kampala, Hamburg, Berlin, or Bremen — all hold a special place in my heart. No matter where I am, I settle in and create a home — it is simply part of what I do. But if I’m honest, it’s been a long time coming for Bremen. Although I’ve lived here at least part-time since 2010 and full-time starting in 2013, it wasn’t until last summer that I really gave myself over to the thoughts of settling in. Probably not forever and maybe not even for long, but for *now*.
For each and every day I can enjoy here, I am extremely grateful.

Where is home for you? How do you go about creating a sense of home?
Your place is so pretty! Love these detail shots. Sometimes the little details are some of the best things about our homes. :)
Thanks, Sarah, you’re very sweet. :)
Your pictures reflect your good eye and expression. I also like seeing your keys still in the door, something that I have done as well but not discovered until well after the door was closed.
Thanks, Uncle Clyde! Yes, I’ve also thought of this possibility — which is part of the reason I habitually lock the door once I’m in, so that I will have to unlock it and have the keys in hand to be able to leave. :)
