Outside on the tiny balcony, the loop of wall between my tiny balcony and the neighbor’s is visible. My balcony seems solid with a nice rough surface, but it is scary. It is high above the street, with nothing but concrete below. The doorsill is high and deep, to keep out snow, I wonder? I am still trying to sort out the shape of our apartment, to catch the shape and the design. There are some things in any apartment that are designed a certain way, and you really cannot tamper with them. You have to “decorate within those constraints.”
