It's cold, and it's dark. I'm an early riser, but today I feel like staying comfy in my jammies and building a nice fire and drinking my coffee. Many, many years ago, before I was married, I had a little apartment on Godby Road in College Park, Georgia. Coming home from work on a cold, blustery afternoon, getting home just before dark. I would enter and make a bee line for my warm pajamas . Maybe a nice steaming cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows and an evening of watching old movies on TBS. North by Northwest, Charade or Desk Set (If it was Christmastime). Those are nice memories that I think of when it's cold and dark and raining. I had no sense of style back then, so I'm constantly redecorating that apartment (in my mind) with pretty sofas and antiques and quilts. I didn't quilt back then, but as long as I'm redecorating my apartment I might as well redo myself too! So I envision a sewing machine, fabric piles and quilt blocks on a board. The smell of homemade bread drifting from the little kitchen (I didn't cook either). And lots of cool houseplants. Yes indeed, I have a good imagination and can fill hours redoing my past, lol. I even have a private Pinterest board called My Apartment and I've saved pictures of things I would have liked to have decorated my little apartment with.
From my Pinterest board:
This was the size of my kitchen. I like the shelf up above.
***I don't know who to credit for these two photos. If you know whose photos these are, or if they are yours, please let me know. I can remove them if that is what is desired.
Thanks for taking a trip back in time with me today. I hope you have a lovely day.
