book nook

Besides the previously mentioned indoor hammock my dream house has another essential item, a little reading nook. 

Ideally it would be a small and cozy space with soft seating and plenty of space for pillows and a blanket. It would also have to include some sort of shelves where I could keep books along with an occasional cup of tea and some cookies.

It would be a space where no phones or computers were allowed. The nook would serve as a little escape from daily life and buzzing technology, a little escape where I could relax, forget about time and space, and allow my mind to enjoy the awesomeness of books. 

a little corner with only one purpose

pillows, pillows and more pillows

A bench like this would be a dream

If this one were in my house I'd tuck away in there on every cold winter night

Now next on the list following the reading nook is a beautiful private library. 

How amazing that would be. 

I will leave those speculations for a post of their own though.

Dreaming

After spending few years as a student I like to day dream about a post-graduate future where I'm not living in a tiny student room. Most of the things on my "when-I-get-a-real-apartment wish list" are not very extravagant, with the top things being:

a) a private kitchen with more space for my food than just one shelf in the fridge 

b) a comfy sofa

c) a tv (yes, bringing some wild demands here)

d) that magical thing called a dishwasher

Other things are a bit more dreamy, including the ultimate item on the list for my dream house: 

an indoor hammock.

I realize it's a pretty far fetched idea since I doubt most landlords appreciate their tenants bolting up hammocks in their living room but one can always dream.

I can just imaging the awesomeness of hanging there covered in pillows and reading, reading and reading some more.

Aaaah!

I don't care that this might not even happen until I turn seventy but I swear, one day it will happen.

One day.
