7-bedsit london home reconverted to single family home.

there are some lovely aspects to esther's london home--the fireplace turned sitting area; the unique (antique?) toys--rocking horse, train; the green pendant hanging light; the wooden floors; the bedroom is a dream; the mismatched hallway flooring. fun place!

apparently it was a divided house after world war II (7 bedsits--residents had their own room and shared bathrooms) and esther converted it back into a single family home.

the bedroom has so much appeal. it looks like it could fill both my need of a comfortable place to slumber but, at the same time, be a place where i can push out some writing while sitting indian-style on the bed or go through my google reader. i'm all for bedrooms that are meant for sleeping but multi-purpose bedrooms are just as dreamy.

milk and toast -- a favourite and most nurturing combination. I like my milk ice cold with a straw (one of those cute paper straws with red stripes), or steaming hot, flavoured with a little vanilla and a lot of cinnamon. my toast -- usually two slices at once, and oftentimes flanked with apple slices or cheddar cheese -- is buttery and crunchy.

while growing old together with this blog, and watching it evolve, I've found joy in the milk and toast of my life, and have carved out a little place in the world wide web to record it. stick around, read a few entries -- perhaps you'll find something you love or can relate to.
