Their apartment is a creator's paradise, where the smallest bit of inspiration (a bicycle wheel, a sketch, a portrait of Isabel) is hoisted up into Calderesque mobiles, while walls double as canvases. "Ruben will draw on anything that's in front of him," sighs Isabel, citing the telephone numbers climbing up the wall…
Hostess gifts are never store-bought but always a Ruben art special. "I look around Ruben's studio, and I pick something that reminds me of the person," says Isabel, who also uses her husband's discarded sketches as her personal stationery. Clearly, intimacy trumps social and fashion conventions…
‘Everything is somehow connected to us," continues Isabel…"We experience art. We're makers.’”

(I realize that the excerpt above might not completely make sense because I just put in the parts that I liked.) I LOVE their home. I love that it is a loft and has high ceilings with sky lights so that there is a lot of natural light. I love that it is a studio/home. I love how there is art everywhere. This(with a more international/traveled feel) is my dream home.
