Living in a High Rise

I had an enjoyable week last week while visiting my daughter in Florida. She lives in what used to be an office building. In fact, half of the building is still offices. The rest of the building has been turned into loft apartments.

I felt at home in her spacious home even though it was completely opposite of the carpeted, drywall to the ceiling type of home in which I live. Her entertainment centers hold all her game programs such as Wii and whatever else the others are. I am not up on all those things. Her furniture fits the decor of cement and pipes, adding just the right amount of fabric to give the place a homey feel.

Those of you who know me know that I am a quilter. Well, Stacy would not be my child if she did not have a few quilts around her house. They add warmth yet are just eclectic enough to maintain the modern feel of her space. Full of brushed chrome and wide open spaces, her place felt like a place I could call home.

   It looks really homey. I’ve only seen those kinds of lofts in movies. Must be fun living in one.

   It really looks nice! It much be cosy living in loft apartments, does she already have a lot of friends in the building? The furniture really matches the room, looks great!

   I don’t really think the tenants know each other as they all work different shifts etc. Other than a casual hello in the elevator they all stay pretty much to themselves.

   She has a quilt on her bed. I’ll have to put up a picture!

   The pipes take some time getting used to, I suppose. But I imagine that you can also do some creative things with them. Or at least put them to use.
