I used to think I wanted a house with cathedral ceilings but now I realize I want a house that hugs me. I want to feel envelopped. We are hoping to build a house in the next few years. If we do I know I want nooks and crannies.<br /><br />And while I do like windows - it's the view out the window that appeals to me. It doesn't have to be a big window but the comfort of the view in changing seasons is what comforts me.Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02045801745534184703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907440527168314545.post-51958443380775633632010-05-01T17:31:01.887-04:002010-05-01T17:31:01.887-04:00I'm fascinated that people are commenting on M...I'm fascinated that people are commenting on MY favorite thing. <br /><br />What about yours?Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01898073277524952683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907440527168314545.post-30258978013234009922010-05-01T17:18:15.144-04:002010-05-01T17:18:15.144-04:00I have very few window treatments.

My ability to see, my safety inside looking out and also looking into a window. I love looking in the windows of houses (The Netherlands is a wonderful country for this!) and my house is FULL of windows.<br /><br />I'm going to do your exercise. It sounds fruitful!<br /><br />Today is "World Labyrinth Day" and I walked in mine this morning - holding you and your son in my thoughts through many turns.

I finally put blinds on my bedroom window instead of sheers. The house I lived in in Cleveland had only shades upstairs. <br /><br />An elderly parishioner asked if I had gotten drapes on my windows. She worried about me alone in the house with no drapes. <br /><br />The blinds in the sanctuary were all closed when I started. I'd raise them when I left the church during the week and on Sunday morning they'd be back down and so I'd raise them again. And again. Finally, they are open all the time.Joan Calvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13858394238696729686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907440527168314545.post-16367467153798117922010-05-01T10:02:31.377-04:002010-05-01T10:02:31.377-04:00loving the imagery -and realizing how important wi...loving the imagery -and realizing how important windows are to me as well.
