Some people can take an empty space, envision greatness and then make their vision a reality. They have a knack for interior decorating and they wow people with the final outcome. Well, I’m not one of those people. I’m the type, actually, who arrives to college and moves into a room that’s empty except for a bed and a dresser and it stays that way until I graduate.

It’s a good thing that I married someone quite my opposite in that regard. As David and I move from place to place, he has been the one who has always made our apartments feel like home. It’s thanks to him that we painted the living room in our spacious two-bedroom in East Harlem a cheery yellow so that our moods remained bright, even in the dead of winter.
