Thinking she was in love, nothing else mattered. “She thought the studio would keep itself” How she thought life would be with the man she loved. “No dust upon the furniture of love” Because she is in love, she imagines that chores such as cleaning and cooking would not be part of her world.
Her vision of a studio with “a plate of pears, a piano with a Persian shawl” seems taken from a fantasy than from reality. “Not that at five each separate stair would writhe” suggests that the relationship is indeed of repair just like the rest of the studio.

Devotion to romantic fantasies fails to anticipate the trials and disillusionments of daily life.
