6 furniture stores to start your new home in Germany
That expat life is full of ups and downs, most of us already know it. That’s what inspired me to share this post with you, sharing my research about one of the first steps of an expatriate family: setting up the house and with that, where to buy furniture and decor items for your new home in Germany. Of course, we brought a lot of things from our home in Canada with us and we didn’t have to buy everything from scratch, but still, as some “big” furniture pieces were sold separately or as part of the home sale in Canada and I had to research here in Germany where…

Baby Arthur's Room
Baby #3 room And since it's time to meet the new family member, then nothing fair to also spy on how the youngest's room was. Once again, I preferred to use most of the things I already had, coming from Alice and Diana's inheritance (see their little room here and here).

I have selected pieces that can be used in the long term, because from my own experience, I know that many of the things bought in these first…

Look at you dear readers, I, as a motivated architect That I am, I’m always finding ways to turn our home into a sweet home (see the hashtag #studioajhome on instagram). This is not only a task reserved only for architects or staff working in the area, many people I know are always trying to bring their style to their home, making improvements and making their corner in the world more cozy. They say that in a blacksmith’s house, the skewer is wooden, but here at home, on the contrary, I try to make the improvements constantly and when possible (and drag Diego with me), but there are things that…
