""This really put me off at first but obviously I could see that the ceilings were high, lovely windows, wooden floors, etc. so I just asked if we could re-paint," Megan explains."
""You can, pretty much, live your life however you want. It's very easy to feel boxed in by society and get a certain job, dress a certain way, and not want to stand out too much - but the child in me says: 'Hey, wait? I can literally paint my whole house pink if I want? There are no rules!'""
""The couple moved to Hamburg for Jonathan's job and as a "chance to take a break from London's fast pace." Funnily enough, they found a little bit of London in Hamburg, however, as their neighborhood is "likened to Notting Hill in London - there's even a sign that says 'Little Notting Hill,'" she writes. "It's leafy and idyllic, filled with coffee shops and wine bars. I absolutely love it.""
A 775-square-foot Hamburg apartment originally renovated in a minimalist gray and black-industrial style was repainted to introduce color and personal warmth. The apartment featured high ceilings, large windows, and wooden floors that made it attractive despite its previous owner's austere palette. The resident embraced a playful, rule-free approach to decorating, favoring maximalism and creative choices. The resident has a background in London magazine work and later freelanced in travel and interiors, applying that experience to the small rental. The couple moved to Hamburg for a job and enjoy a leafy neighborhood compared to Notting Hill, with coffee shops and wine bars.
