100 Words – This House Has Been Warmed
2012
Our house has been warmed and I, for possibly the first time in my life, did not take a single photo. Not even a phone photo.
Somehow I’m ok with that. And you’ll just have to take my word for it that it all came off pretty fabulously. Housewarmings, graduations, weddings – all those life milestones for which one gathers family and friends from all corners is a wee bit nerve wracking for even the most steel-spined. But arrival time came and there was food and music and conversations and meeting of neighbors and it was all good.
And really, thank the Universe for housewarming parties because we all know what it’s really about – forcing one to unpack that last stack of nagging boxes, get the art up on the wall for heaven’s sake – that final push to pull it all together. Which means my writing room is finally unpacked. It will be an ongoing project, a labor of love, to really make it mine, but I can go in and have a place to sit and write now. A place with a door that no one is allowed to come through when it’s closed.
This week’s word is from Writing Down the Bones

Thanks Barbara.
There is nothing so wonderful as a writing room to arrange. I just did mine FINALLY three years after moving to this house. I love my little room. It’s changed my whole attitude about the house. If you have time, pictures would be lovely in the future.

Jester, I did manage to hang three pieces of artwork so I guess I’m ahead of the game. But I need more shelves and I’m on the hunt for the perfect writing desk. It may take a long time to find just the right one. I’ve already bought two at auctions that weren’t just right. One I made into the vanity and the other is in the basement waiting for someone to find it on Craigslist.
Oh, to have a room of your own to write… sounds lovely.
