Cafeteria chitchat today brought us to the topic of houses. It has become a favorite topic lately with the news that at least two colleagues
are moving to new abodes. So while we were in that subject, a guy officemate mentioned
about a chandelier in his newly built house. I was real surprised to hear him say
that especially because how he said it indicated that the chandelier was his
idea and not the wife’s or the mother’s. I think I even let out a little
chuckle because I thought men don’t need a chandelier.
Oh well, I thought maybe this is something he really
pictured his house will have (influenced maybe by lifestyle programs showing grandiose
houses with enormous, sparkling, ornate lighting fixtures). And then it made me
think… What piece of item should my ideal house have? When I picture my little
dream dwelling, what regular item (may it be an ornate fixture, a furniture, an
appliance) always shows up in that image? Something that’s not present in my
current apartment and in my previous residences?
That wasn’t so hard for me to identify as images of it vividly
showed up in my daydream. And no, it’s not something you hang in the ceiling
with crystals and dramatic lights.
A window seat. Um, not just a window seat but its bottom should be a storage cabinet as well.
