Home Decorating is Not My Thing!



Unlike the old cliché as a Gay man I am not good at decorating where I live. I just put things here and there more on convenience than color, setting, etc. I live in an apartment where in the living/dining room I have 6 large windows. I never put drapes/curtains on the windows and the blinds are always up. Due to the way my apartment is set up I don’t have to worry about privacy and if I wanted to I could be nude the whole time (but I don’t want to shock the birds, squirrels and/or the pilots in the helicopters).

In any case at one time I had birds and because of the  cages I had the room set up one way and after I had to give them away I set it up differently and started hanging pictures on the walls and putting plants all around. I did have some sort of theme with the pictures but I didn’t hang them in any particular order plus I know two people reading this who want to straighten out all the frames!!!

You may also notice the couch has been against almost every wall in the apartment! LOL

I moved into this apartment in 2004—after never living in a place more than 5-6 years—and these pictures represent the past 6 years. The first 3 (starting in the upper left hand corner and going clockwise) were taken in 2010, 4 in 2013, 5 & 6 2015 and the last 6 were taken this week.

 

As long as I get all the light available, can look out at Mother Nature and get sun for the 28 plants I now have in the place all is good—until I move things around again.

I lived where I'm at for way to long to give a damn. If I don't do things like paint etc while I'm in the buying/moving in process it's not likely to happen on my watch. Let the next people get the hardwood floors sanded and the kitchen cabinets refinished.

Unless the ocean comes up to the third floor I have no intentions of ever moving again!

"every couple of years like some"--yes, they must have a problem!!!

Sometimes I wonder if I should have someone come give me advice about what would look nice where, and I expect that if someone came here and said 'that thing would really look nice next to that other thing' I might agree and let them put it there, and be happy about it. But I'm not one for setting out to change the look of my house every couple of years like some.
