I guess a lot of people have spent more time than usual in their own crib this year. I have worked more hours than usual, so I have been grateful to come home to my little crub and crash.

It struck me that I have a very pleasant space here. These photos are from Pixabay, they are not my house. But I chose them because they are so similar. I have a light gray sofa and teal cushions. I have soft lighting. I have a white cabinet with wicker basket drawers. I have a teal ornamental vase.

I have Georgian windows and all the woodwork is pale cream. I have cream Venetian wooden blinds. This place is my little nest, but for one person it is a large space considering London rent. I have an open plan kitchen/dining/sitting area, which is tastefully furnished and comfortable.
I am hidden away behind two enormous locked gates which make the place feel safe. I have my own private little courtyard.
I have a little cloak room which houses a washing machine. A study with a desk and filing cabinet which is large enough to make it the room I do all my ironing.
The bathroom has a large bathtub and a large shower cubicle and has a modern feel to it. I like it. I appreciate an orderly bathroom.

But my favourite room is probably the bedroom. As well as sweet dreams, other lovely things have gone on in my bedroom. I have memories of Goldfinch. Now I have the honour of Jack being here.
Caramel’s crib is a sweet little nest which is comfortable, classy and easy to clean. I feel safe here…for now. I think one of the reasons why I have stayed here is I know it would be tough to find nicer accomodation at the rate I pay.
I don’t take anything for granted though. Anything may happen. The world is temperamental. My landlords might move. But while I am here., I am going to look after the place.
It is wonderful to enjoy your home. I have been working on mine since all this started and I am happier every day with my changes. I hope you get to stay there as long as you want to.

I realized during the past year how very fortunate I am to have somewhere so comfortable. Some of my friends have struggled because of their accomodation. They are working from home and sharing a flat or house with multiple housemates who seem to have turned into complete slobs this year. They are finding it tough.

It really does. If I did not watch some TV, I would have no idea of the world outside. It is so hidden away.

It is cosy and yet the way it is designed makes me feel like I have a lot of space. Maybe that’s because I don’t have many possessions to fill it. But it is lovely to come back to after a long day at work.

It is a wonderful hideaway from the outside world, and it feels cozy yet airy, safe and stylish. It is cool in the summer and in the winter, well I just turn the heating up and wear snuggly clothes. I think I have come to appreciate this little nest more this year.

Sounds like we have similar taste in decoration. I don’t have a courtyard but have a reasonably sized garden which in the summer houses a hot tub and a collapse able picnic table. I have put up frosted glass in my boudoir following a rather embarrassing incident a few years back.

It’s so pleasant Kristian. Comfy and cosy, stylish yet simple and it feels safe and very peaceful. I could not ask for more, and I realize this year when I hear how my friends are struggling that I am in a great place.
