We went to Thonet in a part of town that is not very pretty, but there are furniture stores, one after the other.. and one of the buildings is this red house. A fabulous old red house from maybe 100 years ago. This is the Thonet showroom/store. We saw this table and chairs and nothing else would do.
It looks so perfect with the mirror and the chandelier.
All the rooms are pretty much finished, maybe a pillow here or a rocking chair there but mostly done.(Bentwood Rocker in the Dorrego Flea Market)
But we have been moving around so much these past years, 4 years is a record ! I am feeling the urge to move.

I like this building. I am sure I would enjoy decorating the rooms in an apartment there !
Or do I want a super modern, full of glass apartment, where my antiques will stand out nicely, where the windows will let in light and I can see the sky , and maybe there will be a terrace large enough to sit out with Pup and watch the sunset.

I can imagine how much fun it would be to decorate a modern apartment with lots of windows.
I recently saw one for sale, it is all windows.
Ideas were bouncing all over , wow, what would I do with this space ? how are you able to be private? how much fun would it be to live there ?
Then I think, if I am going to move again, do I want to move in Buenos Aires or do I want to move somewhere else? That is the question.
Until the answer arrives, we will continue to stay in this apartment and I will continue to add finishing touches and enjoy exploring the city .
Taking photos, of Pup, of the parks, of the buildings , you never know, one day you will be in the park and there I will be, with my camera in hand.
Something with high windows that lets in the sun and the sky, perhaps a treetop here and there.
ReplyDelete:-) I grew up on the road and understand the urge to move.

I started to pack up the house and can't wait to be settled...you are settled and thinking about packing up...what's wrong with us??? LOL!
ReplyDeletePearl .. A treetop is good, sky is good, open views is good. I am not asking for much.
ReplyDeleteKelly .. I love those rocking chairs.
Nice & Easy .. Packing lists.. that is my advice to you. You have done this already so you know. I am the list queen when it is moving time :)
Nothing is wrong with us . . we are just special :D
I would love to give decorating an apartment in that beautiful old building a try also!
ReplyDeleteHope your computer gets better...and I'm sure pup had nothing to do with it...it's probably just heatstroke.
Fun to see you!
