Hello, friends. My brain is a bit numbed from work so I have little coherency left in me. Let's keep this short.
Moving on to bedroom shots on the Contax, I present my good old room at home.

I devour food writing and here's just a small sample of some of the food books I've acquired. I first discovered food blogs in the fall of 2006 and then took an "Art of Eating" creative writing class in college which was pretty amazing and made me go through a phase where I pretty much only read this genre for leisure reading.

I've already posted this one to my flickr, but here's the same angle of my room. It's east-facing which I love (except when I'm trying to sleep in). If I ever have the luxury to be picky about an apartment in NY, it would definitely need a set (preferably floor to ceiling) of east-facing windows.

This room was wallpapered when we moved in, and we never got around to changing that (except when my mom and I tried and failed miserably to take down a section - how the hell do you properly remove wallpaper?!). So the guest room remains covered in blue nursery/baby print wallpaper. NOTHING matches in this room, including the furniture. It's pretty great.
Now, where's my bottle of wine...
Thanks for sharing an insight into your childhood home. The light is amazing. I love your selection of books!
ReplyDeleteAmazing light! I also had a window in my room facing east... there's nothing better than fresh morning light in summer...
ReplyDelete(a secret for wallpaper removal: spray or brush in water on them, wait for a few minutes, and you would be able to remove them in huge pieces).
Lovely lovely room! & your college course sounds like it was amazing!
ReplyDeletesuch lovely lighting. love those curtains too. :)
ReplyDeleteMy kind of evening - food books and wine. You have fine taste, my dear!
ReplyDeleteI am loving your room. It looks so clean and wonderful. Honestly, I need to find a way to get rid of the clutter. I will have to make a plan so that my room will become a more minimalistic space!

lovely shots
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty blog you have, I'm enjoying the photos very much^^
ReplyDeleteYou and I have the exact same collection of food books!
ReplyDeleteOkay, now you've got me even more curious (and I've always been at least a LITTLE curious) to ask - what do you do? You rarely talk about school unless it's in the past tense, so I always assumed you've already graduated. But spill it sister! When you're not shooting, scanning or blogging (or drinking coffee ;), what're you up to?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Alice.
ReplyDeleteNow, I understand your obsession with food. My favorite food book to date is Ruth Reichl's Tender at the Bones. I love her style of writing.
BTW, I'm an expert wallpaper peeler. Whenever I embarked on a removal project, I always think to mysel, why do people ever put up wallpaper? Haha. It was very in back in the 70's. Way before your time. ;)
beautiful light :D and I LOVE the mismatched wallpaper room!
ReplyDeletekim, i am emailing you right now. :)
ReplyDeletewhat beautiful light. you take such lovely photos. i love it when things don't match in a room. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your baby blue nursery guest room. And I also gravitate to the food writers. Molly Wizenberg's "A Homemade Life" is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThe blue wallpaper actually looks very nice from your picture.
ReplyDelete..."spoon fed" i have that one around here. if you would like it, just drop me an email. i will send it, your way.
