Apartment Nooks & Ranunculus
Friday, April 8, 2011 at 12:33PM Several years ago I had this great idea that I would randomly take pictures of little spots in our apartment to put on the blog. The trigger of this idea was from a conversation where I tried to describe one of our apartments that we had just moved into to my brother... it is a fact that many of our family members rarely (if ever sometimes) see our apartments before we move. Then as I thought about it, I don't think that we even have pictures of what all of apartments have looked like... which makes me kind of regret not taking photos as it would be fun to look back. The studio that had only two plates in the cupboard, an ikea futon, a table for four and a 13" tv... to the Colorado apartment where the living room was as wide as our sofa and all the stuff we didn't have room for went in boxes under that table for four... to the falling apartment charming vintage flat where it is amazing that the radiator didn't fall through the floor (good times)... to the super sunny enormous but bland new-ish midrise condo. That isn't even to mention the change in decor.
So I can't do anything about not having photos about the places we lived or how we decorated them in the past. But I can start to do a better job of documenting that now. As I am quite certain that we won't live in our current place forever. And our nesting style is certain to evolve too.
So with all that lead up, I am only going to share one photo today. I really love having fresh flowers in the house and ranunculus are among my favorite. It is unusual that they end up in the bookcase... but they seem kind of natural there among the Anne of Green Gables books.
This is a terrible photo. It needed to be a smaller aperature and lower ISO but sunlight is limited these days and I am too lazy to get out the tripod. These bookshelves have been with us for a while and I think their days in our home are likely to be coming to a close in the not-so-far future.
More random pics from nooks and crannies in our home to come.
