BEAUTY OUT OFTHE ASHES

4. In the summer of 2006 at
eighteen. I announced to my
Grandmother that I was
moving to Paris, France. After
saving up enough money from
working in a sweat shop since
the age of eight that dream
became a reality. I always
looked at sewing garments as a
burden, but on my walks home
I would pass by an artist who
painted scenes from Paris.
When I saw the EiffelTower for
the first time. I knew that’s
where I was destined to be.

6. For the design of my kitchen I
would like access to plenty of
sunlight, with a natural color
scheme.The sweat shops were
always so dark, so I definitely
want a huge window. Because I
spent so much time indoors I
would like natural stones on the
walls and countertops to bring
the outdoors in. I would like a
simple yet highly functional
layout, with a transitional
modern feel that resembles my
office. A must have is a painting
of the EiffelTower. My bedroom
furniture should be plush and
comfy, but still maintain the
color scheme and atmosphere
of the kitchen.
