I am in love with natural lighting.. LOVE! seeing this sunshine pour through my windows this morning just confirms it yet again.. if I have ever entered your home.. you can 100% guarantee that I have noticed your windows.. the frames.. the blinds.. and the light that pours in.. oh.. and placement of windows.. it is bad.. when I would look for places to rent.. (via pictures) that is the first thing I would look for.. and I would base a decision on it.. I had a friend drive me to look at a basement suite many years ago.. and we pulled up.. and I could already tell that this place was built into the ground.. and most of the light came from the side door that had a little window in it.. I didn’t even go in.. he was a man.. so he thought I was crazy that I didn’t even go in to look.. but I already knew my answer..
don’t even get me started on floor to ceiling windows!! when I moved to Vancouver.. I walked into the apartment (that I ended up renting) and there they were.. floor to ceiling windows.. side to side.. that was it.. sold.. it faced the ocean.. I was right by the water.. and had a view of the fireworks.. it seemed to block my brain from looking at anything else in that place.. because $850.00 later.. I signed a lease.. and realized that I had a dirty pee soup green toilet.. that was NASTY.. a kitchen I wouldn’t cook in.. (not even once) and the closet had no doors on it.. but I had a view! I lasted 5 months..
this may be why as much as I loved apartment living.. I loathed that you could never find an apartment with a window in the bathroom.. my favorite.. even now.. my window faces a highway.. and an old folks home.. (and you know they are peeking ;) and those binds are pulled open every day.. and yes.. they face my shower :0
ahh.. when I do end up purchasing a home.. Dustin may be in trouble ;)
ps.. jenne rosse.. I would die for your dining room/living room..
same goes for you chrissy..
