On Nguyen Hue Boulevard, the Café Apartment is a unique piece of Saigon’s creative spirit.

Once an old residential building, it’s now home to cafés, boutiques, and small studios stacked on nine floors — each with its own design, color, and charm

i changed and cleaned up my desk a few weeks ago...

Old rails. Painted walls. A forgotten station given a second life. Diana leaned toward the camera with a quiet confidence, while the colors behind her dissolved into light. It was our first shoot, but the moment already felt familiar.

Welcome to a vibrant retreat where every room tells a story of love, creativity, and self-expression. Nestled within the beautiful SunnySide Retreat, this colorful Pride-inspired home blends comfort, music, art, and celebration into one unforgettable Home & Garden experience.

 

The cozy living room invites you to relax among cheerful Pride décor, colorful balloons, elegant wall art, and playful dancing rainbow bears. A Bad Axe Strat guitar waits beside the sofa, while a refreshing iced Pride latte sits on the coffee table, ready to be enjoyed as the music begins.

 

At the entrance and throughout the upper floor, magical unicorn tapestries create a whimsical atmosphere filled with fantasy and color. Upstairs, the inviting bedroom offers a peaceful sanctuary illuminated by warm lighting and surrounded by inspiring Pride-themed artwork.

 

Step outside onto the terrace where tropical seating overlooks a vibrant Rainbow Rug. Gather around the glowing Pride Beauty Fire Pit Bowl, surrounded by flickering wall torches, hanging greenery, and blooming decorative planters that create the perfect evening retreat.

 

As night falls, the celebration reaches its grand finale with spectacular Reflection Carnival fireworks lighting up the sky above this colorful oasis, while Pride bears dance joyfully below, celebrating diversity, equality, and the freedom to be yourself.

My amazing husband remodeled our Columbia River floating home. This 2nd floor loft used to be our bedroom. We now have a beautiful new bedroom with an attached sunroom. The loft has become my happy, creative space - what a wonderful gift from my husband!

I moved things around a bit for better access.

Explored 30 August 2009

At least this small area of the room is finally complete. (Who knew how much time raising a toddler could take up?)

Well maybe more messy spaces but a lot of crafting and plans for pictures go into this creative space. All my girls and boys headbands, hats and clothes are in this area along with a lot of props and craft supplies are here too.

Two of my favourite things in our studio, my cream retro radio and some delicate 1930's teacups

believe me

I'm just awful

and things pile up in a wink of an eye

 

(explored #412)

The vintage items you see here aren't part of a deliberate theme on my part. Everything simply came together over time.

 

1. 20-inch Dell 2009w LCD monitor. I bought this in 2008. It's great for text, but the color isn't up to snuff for production work. (Oh, and hiding behind that lovely illustration by Carolyn Arcabascio, is the working draft of The Murk, which I am currently editing.)

 

2. Western Electric model 500 telephone (sold from 1950 to 1984). This is my high-tech communications system. I picked it up at a yard sale ($5) several years ago because I was getting tired of buying new batteries for my cordless phone. It still dials out, but when confronted with an automated message system and asked to press "4" or whatever, I just have to hang up.

 

3. Panasonic Electric Pencil Sharpener, model KP-77 S (probably early 70s, with Auto-Stop!). My trusty friend, bought by my wife for $3 at a church bazaar. Amazingly, you can still buy replacement parts for this model.

 

4. Sony MDR-V700DJ headphones. My portable orchestra. I bought these in 2001, shortly after purchasing an iPod, because said iPod couldn't pump out enough juice to drive my old AKG 260s.

 

5. 15-inch Apple Macbook Pro (Winter 2006). Tucked behind the monitor, Graphic Mayhem rests in a little wooden bracket and runs in closed-lid mode when it's not doing color work.

 

6. Apple Pro Keyboard (2000). The computer this came with is gone now, but I kept the keyboard because Apple built it to outlast the sun.

 

7. Apple Mighty Mouse (2005). I have no clear memory of how I acquired this mouse, but it's still on the job.

 

8. Picture of an Egyptian chariot (gift from a friend), because chariots are cool.

 

9. Webster's New International Dictionary of the English Language, Second Edition (1938). Yes, it's old, but it still beats the hell out of any other dictionary I've ever used.

 

10. Two Rinn. These were a Christmas gift, hand-made by my wife and children. They are more precious to me than my weight in 1st edition hardbacks of The Princess Bride, by William Goldman (Fine in Fine dust jackets). And THAT, my friends, is saying something.

 

11. Placebo coffee (or sometimes placebo tea). It's hard to see in this photo, but it's right here on the corner of this middle shelf.

A bohemian studio draped in color and memory — textiles cascading like old stories, wooden floors worn by the weight of creation, and a figure reclining in quiet sovereignty. The embroidered dress, the easel, the window’s soft spill of light: everything here feels lived in, ritualistic, almost ancestral. This is a room where art breathes, where the body rests without surrender, where the world pauses long enough for the soul to speak. A portrait of stillness inside a sanctuary of making.

I.

The studio hums with yesterday’s colors,

threads of old visions hanging in the air.

I sink into the chair like a returning myth,

letting the room remember me before I speak.

II.

Draped fabrics ripple like quiet constellations,

mapping the long journey of my becoming.

Every fold holds a secret I once whispered,

every shadow a promise I’m still learning to keep.

III.

The window spills its gentle blessing,

a soft benediction across my resting form.

Light gathers on my dress like patient fire,

waiting for the moment I rise again.

IV.

The easel stands guard in the corner,

a wooden sentinel of unfinished dreams.

It knows the weight of creation’s silence,

the ache of visions not yet born.

V.

I recline in the throne of the weary,

but there is no defeat in my posture.

Only the slow exhale of a maker,

pausing between chapters of becoming.

VI.

The room is a cathedral of textures,

woven with the ghosts of every attempt.

Here, even stillness feels like devotion,

a sacred offering to the craft that shaped me.

VII.

My hair spills like a quiet river,

carrying the stories I haven’t told aloud.

The chair holds me with familiar tenderness,

as if it knows the weight of my return.

VIII.

So I rest in this sanctuary of color,

letting the world soften around the edges.

For even in stillness, I am creating—

a portrait of a soul gathering its strength.

 

I'd like to say a warm Hello to all my dear flickr friends out there in the world!

I'm so glad that we found eachother and keep to get inspirations from one to another!

Have a wonderful and creative week!

Hugs to you from Germany

P.S.:

A friend took this photo of me in my studio while visiting me in the merry month of May this year.

... in my creative space.

Ikea Expedit shelves.

More storage, but as you can see, I shared the bottom half with the boys ... :P

 

I am very happy about it. I really needed extra room next to the two desks.
