brooklyn bedroom v1

image found on apartmenttherapy.com


yep, i am ready to move. instead of counting sheep, i  play a "sweet dreams" game of imagining what my place will look like in chicago. everything from opening the door, to where i will place my wine glasses, and hang my license plates. of course, what kind of sweet dream would it be without a bed to rest my head. 


funniest part about my dreams is that while they are set in chicago, they actually look like brooklyn.


my friend has a gorgeous loft there. exposed beams and giant windows. it is an old factory building that has been converted into separate semi-modern living spaces that each contain little reminders of what once was. i loved it. french doors separated the bedroom from the main room. in my vision, i open similar doors to a bedroom like this. 


i found it when i was "apartment" browsing the other day; my first reaction was YES! i would change the green bed skirt and head board to be shades of turquoise and if i could afford an architect or contractor, i would request that the windows be bigger with more personality. but check out the ceiling! how awesome is that? 
it would be nice if the room were just a little bigger, but figure i use my bedroom to sleep. it's a sanctuary...small might be better. just an fyi:the coat laying on the bed is not in my dreams. 


i have named this my brooklyn bedroom v1 


it will be fun to lay under my covers and watch the wave of night ripple across the city. not to mention how cool it will be to see the sun rise multiple times as it peeks out from behind each skyscraper. ah, i am excited.

    Hi April! Ha ha, I'm not moving...yet. In my dreams I move daily...but in reality I am here. I just checked out your blog--totally awesome! I would love to have a more "chipper" blog...but sometimes you just have to let it out.
    So...are you really good with resumes and cover letters? Sure looks like it. Think I need to get a group together to tear down and then re-build mine...since you are an architect...you are probably really good at that ;)

    Thanks Emilee! I'm not always so chipper, there are definitely some downer posts hidden in the archives. I love the honesty of your posts-- I think the more personal you get, the more universal the message becomes. Does that make sense or am I just spacey today...? : )

    I would absolutely LOVE to take a look at your resume & see if we can improve it at all. I also have a friend who worked at an unemployment office & did this professionally for months, if you'd like me to pass it onto her as well.

    If you're interested, go ahead and send it to me at aprilbmatthews@gmail.com (or we could meet as a group, sounds like Robin's up for it too)!
