Episode Fifty Three: The Sanctuary in My Home

When my fiance and I started apartment hunting we originally thought of getting a two bedroom.  Amid other features that had us fall in love with our current apartment, there was the den.  Our apartment is labeled a "one bedroom with den", in which we pay a lower rent but have a mythical space tucked away at the front of the apartment.  There isn't a door- but it doesn't matter, the moment you enter the den you are submersed into the loving arms of tranquility.

Unfortunately it wasn't until our den started flooding due to the excessive rain that we remembered it was there.  It had become, the storage room.  The flooding was a blessing in disguise- we have a benevolent landlord who fixes everything quick and never gives us grief.  So they sent in the carpet cleaners and we had to haul all the storage tubs and boxes out of the den.  Fresh carpet later, I stepped into the room to remember the vast potential of the haven before me.

Due to the death of the laptop I moved my desktop into the living room.  I am seriously considering if I can pick up any free or cheap furniture on Craig's list for the den.  I yearn to transform the wondrous space before me into a sanctuary.


I'd love your feedback on what you would do with your own sanctuary and if you have a place in your home where you can relax and escape.

Have I mentioned my love of tropical beaches?
