Different as night and day

Photo of a mural of a flamenco dancer next to a portrait of Bruce Lee and his master

Yesterday I joked about it but it really is quite something when two strong-headed types start a business. One makes decisions real fast, the other researches like there is no tomorrow. One’s messy, the other has an Excel-fetish. One’s intuitive, the other thoughtful (meaning slow). We are not throwing pitchforks at each other but it’s a close call. Tiring? Yes. But also never a dull moment. So if you come and stay with us after the renovation and think ‘that’s an odd choice’ you’ve stumbled upon one of our compromises. One of many. That’s why in our house there’s a photo of a wall painting of a flamenco dancer next to an iconic pic of Bruce Lee and his master. Our collaboration is like us: different as night and day but turns out these two go together quite well.
