After being in this apartment for 16 months, I have come to the resolution that I am not going anywhere soon. I guess when I moved in, I only expected to be here a year or two. I now realize that I will be here for quite a while. That is okay but it requires some change.
This apartment, while roomy and a great situation financially and logistically, is locked in 1971. I haven't put any time, resources and design into it. As such, it hasn't felt like home. I have come to the understanding that I am tired of coming here at the end of the day and feeling like I am at someone else's apartment. I must claim my space, make it my own and make peace with the fact that I don't own my own home anymore, that it will be time before I will again and that I can do better here than I have been allowing myself.
I have spent the weekend moving furniture, picking up some new pieces, getting things on the wall, cleaning, organizing and ... wallah! I am already starting to feel like this is my space. I am ordering some new furniture and I am excited for it to arrive...Casa Elliott is blooming!
Now on to my next project...I want to organize a flash mob...anyone with me?
