It's All About Space


I have to admit it.  I love moving.

Not the actual hauling of boxes and furniture up hill and down, I don’t love that. 

What I love are the possibilities!

It is the reason I like to rearrange the furniture and, in my younger day, I use to rearrange the cabinets too.  I mean I took them off the walls and screwed them up on other walls.

My idea of the perfect apartment would be a loft with modular units that rolled around providing cabinets and closets and walls that could redefine the space as my mood dictated.  Of course I realize some things would have to be permanent.

Plumbing and electrical outlets pretty much need to stay in one place, but if the outlets were in the floors, then only the plumbing would limit the possibilities. 

It also seems to me that in places where the scenery is not just poor, but downright ugly, there should be a way to incorporate computerized widows that could be anywhere in the world.

And the more I think about it, even the plumbing might be a little bit flexible if the pipes and drains could be concealed in the outer walls where they were accessible.  Then it would only require a little bit of re-hooking to move almost everything!
