I first got the idea to create this blog when trying to fake streams of dusty light on a rendered perspective view for work (incidentally I found the answer here).
I thought at the time that it would be great to find a blog that documented, step-by-step, the process between not knowing how to do something and knowing how to do something (I’m trying to work out how to browse in full screen in Safari on the new iMac).
I’m also notoriously forgetful and constantly can’t remember the things I’ve spent so much time working out how to do. I’m hoping this blog will serve as a reference the next time I forget whether it’s the modem or the router that should be turned on first when rebooting.
I also thought this blog would be an excellent way to document bridging the gap I perceive between how I want to live and how I am living.
For example, being an architect, I share the desire with every other architect I know to live in a warehouse loft where everything is painted white. It dawned on me one time that as I am already 31 and still live in an apartment covered with empty coke cans, indoor clotheslines, ironing board etc., that dream is probably never going to become a reality.
If I ever find a way to make my apartment look like something from a Molenti & C catalogue, you’ll hear about it here.
It is my hope that others will be able to share the ways in which they successfully turned their balcony into a Tsukiyama garden until we end up with an eclectic mix of guides on how to get where we want to go.
Let’s get started…
Ok. Am loving your blog so far. Think it's brilliant how you created a space where you can come to whenever you figure out or forget how to do something. Super informative. But please don't la make your apartment sound like a pigsty. Your home is one of my favourite places in Sydney :)
