Altered curtains became my own style at my new home.

 I brought my curtains from the previous apartment. I had an idea and I wanted to use them again.


A sofa was covered with a stole given to me by Collie a few years ago. I decorated a coffee table with charming lace I bought at Canterbury Village when I visited Michigan.


My heart is thumping... I hung my lace curtains over a window. They are a little too long for the window here. (・・;)


Though flowers are expensive in the big city, I found a nice place which sells "service flowers" on Tuesday and Wednesday. Each flower is being sold for only 100yen. So I picked up my favorite miniature roses. Can you believe it? I could get them for only 300yen!!! How lovely❤︎ I am so happy.


This is the view from the window. I live on the 10th floor now. (By the way, it's not Tokyo Tower. )

Ten days later, I sewed by hand to shorten the length of lace curtains! See? It's successfully almost touching the floor. :)


My idea was combining a short drape and long curtains. It's possible because the bottom half of the window is frosted glass. Being surrounded by familiar stuff to me brings a comfort.

There was a bay window at the place where I've lived for a long time. A short drape was for it. 


I really loved the space and decorated it with small items... From the 3rd floor, I could see the roof of the house across the street from me. I liked to see that view. While I was packing up my things for moving out, I took some photos.

I miss my previous apartment I can't go back to anymore. It's filled with many, many memories. Thank you... I moved out from you, but I will never forget you. I will live on in my new environment, but my memories with you will always have a special place in my heart.
