Loving the blank canvas

Most real estate agents will tell you that empty houses are harder to sell. People look for the security of furnishing to reassure of them of a room's purpose.

I, on the other hand, love empty rooms. They're so full of possibility.

There has to be a zen lesson in there somewhere.

I picked up my keys after work last evening and headed over to the new place for Smudgefest 2008. It was empty save for the delicious box of handmade chocolates and bouquet of freshly cut flowers that my agent had left for me.

Happily I had a single, unpacked vase at home. Otherwise I would have been displaying my fauna in an empty milk container. Not very Sarah Richardson.
