I am pretty happy about all the positive feedback I get whenever I share some glimpses into my tiny apartment. Most friends tell me that my apartment looks way bigger when I take photos and share it, but in fact it still is and will remain a teenie-tiny rooftop apartment with 32 square meters. Nevertheless, this was not a scary obstacle for the folks of the interiors e-magazine Llamas Valley and they approached me and asked me to invited them for a little home tour. My answer was quick: Yes, you are welcome!
A few weeks later I welcomed one of their freelance photographers, Lina Gavénaité, to my home and invited my friend and fellow blogger Bridgee over too. I thought it would be nice to invite them to a cup of coffee and then we will discuss the Hollywood-like settings and angles to make the best out of this little cave.
But Lina is a professional. From the moment she arrived she unpacked half a dozen of objectives, her tripod and screened with her eyes all corners and photo opps. While I was brewing the coffee, she was half through the shooting. Oh my, can I be a professional photographer too one day? Pretty please?!
The editor-in-chief of Llamas Valley Magazine sent over a few interview questions and you can see and read the full home story in their latest issue HERE. And well, if you ever happen to be around, you're welcome to join me for a cup of coffee, too!
Happy weekend from Munich!

DeleteSchöne Bilder von deinem Appartement und deine Freunde haben recht, es sieht auf den Bilder größer aus:) Eine sehr schöne home story...aber ich vermisse die Küchenbilder... Du kochst doch gerne, oder?:)
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße und schönes Wochenende!:)
Haha Kasia, kochen würde ich gerne, wenn ich eine Küche hätte. In meiner Wohnung gibt es leider nur eine Kochnische mit ca. zwei Quadratmetern im hintersten Eck ohne Fenster und Tageslicht. Ergo kein Foto:-)
DeleteYours are the most beautiful 32 qm I know : )
ReplyDeleteThank you my dear:-)
