Walking along the shopping streets of Myeong-dong, Seoul, South Korea for the first time, I leisurely gaze at the boutique stores one after another from outside.
My eye locks into this pink building in front of me. Like having some sort of magnet, it draws me to the inside.
Do you remember the awkward age of twelve when clothes are either too small or too big and nothing fits just right; the age when you’re too old to be a child and too young to be a teenager. Nowadays, this awkward preteen stage is more popularly called as tween.
Designing the perfect bedroom for a tween is like finding the perfect clothing.
Aside from being aesthetically beautiful, the design should be ready to serve the everyday lifestyle needs like organization, functionality and flexibility. There are a lot of physical and emotional changes expected to happen when you’re a tween. So most importantly, the design should be ready for the transition!
The man behind me grabs my bag as he helps me mount my hand luggage in the overhead cabin. Feeling a sigh of relief that I’ve finally settled on my seat, my anticipation builds up during the15 hour flight to Milan. It dawns on me that it’s been 12 long years since I travelled by myself, checked in my bag myself and looked for the boarding gate myself.
I’m thinking how my past twelve years were pure bliss raising up my children and establishing a business with my husband. I am a practicing interior designer married to an engineer.
I realize having an engineer as a husband like my husband, those years were calculated, organized and well planned. I am used and dependent on his ways without knowing it.
