Tuesday 4 ~ Home Sweet Home
Home Sweet Home |
My bedroom is comfortable when I have cosy and warm or cool bedding depending on the season. I also like a variety of pillows because some days I need neck support while other days I need less support but I always need my head to be quite elevated. I also need lots of room for putting water and others things I might need including the phone for the alarm.

Tuesday 4 - Home Sweet Home
Home Sweet Home
a 1939 Living Room |
This week the subject is Your Home.
1. What kind of home do you have and does it need repair or improvements this year?
I have a smallish condo (986 square feet and a deck that is 518 square feet) in the heart of the city. It's handy to everything I need. I can walk or take a short bus ride to where I need to go and this is a major factor in why I purchased the place.
New door knobs. The old ones were gold colour that had worn off. |
I do accessorize my home both inside and out. Outside it is primarily with an outdoor dining table and chairs for enjoying an outside meal or relaxing. I also plant a lot of container plants.
In the front rooms the colours are mainly earth tones (beige, orange, gold, deep red an pops of black) whilst in the master bedroom and bathroom the colours are various shades of blue and some complementary colours (white, burgundy, rose pink). Basically I kept the same colours that were in the unit when I moved in though it has been repainted a few times over years.
Inside I try to have plants but there isn't enough warmth or light for most of them to survive, let alone thrive. The plants are always changing because I buy more when they eventually die off even though it is a waste of money. Lately I've been wanting large artificial plants to fill some corners. Though I did buy one it turned out to be far too big so I returned it and my search continues. I also have ethnic art, wall hangings like soapstone plates and calabashes from Africa, mirrors, lots of books and a few knick knacks. I love music but no longer play it for the home since the CD player went the way of the Dodo bird. My computer doesn't have a good stereo set up to play the music for the home so I mainly just listen with headphones whenever I have some down time. I have a lot of crafting supplies and so they are stored in every nook and cranny or bin I can find. It is a challenge and I've been trying to pare everything down but still save what I hope to use one day in the not too distant future.
3. What objects reside on your coffee table? Night stand? Side tables? Kitchen/Dining table?
I had this ladder custom made and ordered it wider than their standard. |
