In a couple
of months I will be feathering a new nest in an urban setting. My desire to return to go metro emerged
as I realized that while the siren song of nature still called my name, I
also longed for the sense of community that is lost on the city outskirts.

| Mid Century Modern Loft |

| Retro Mid Century Loftspace |
The term
"Loft" began in New York
City in the 1940s when renters and owners began turning
old industrial buildings into living spaces. The original tenants were artists
who craved the high ceilings, large windows and open floor plans typical of
converted warehouses and factories. Over the last decade, many major cities
throughout the world have begun to welcome the idea of loft living, which is a
way of bringing life into what were previously deserted parts of a city.
Moving
from a woodland passive cedar treehouse to an industrial loftspace feels new
and exciting and all at once I am shedding excess baggage and
minimalizing. Streamlined living with
one cup, one bowl, one spoon and a large pillow to sit upon is my vision but
certainly a challenge as well. I am drawing inspiration to pair back from a
vision board that I have created of lofts from around the world.
I hope you find your own lofty ambitions and Happy New Year!.
