First of all, the word bay window itself exudes a literary and artistic atmosphere.
various decoration tips that are popular on the Internet will tell you that bay windows can be transformed into small book bars, small tea rooms, small office desks, etc. Various renderings are pleasing to the eye and fascinating.
When his own house is renovated, he will follow the same example and choose the one he likes among the many renderings. I can't help but think about it in my mind: neatly organized books, vibrant small potted plants, friends drinking tea and chatting... everything is so beautiful.
Several years after the renovation, are the bay windows as poetic and picturesque as originally imagined?
’s original idea was as follows: curling up on the windowsill and lazily reading a book, occasionally looking up at the prosperity and warmth of the world; having a heart-to-heart talk with a close friend, reliving the youthful years; holding a cup of hot tea on a rainy day and being nostalgic, pampering yourself and being pretentious. Then for a while.
The real situation is: after mobile phones become smart, there is less time for reading. Everyone is busy watching short videos, so don’t expect to have a heart-to-heart talk. How can you express so much literary and artistic feelings when you are so tired after get off work? The real use of
bay windows is: a buffer area before placing all debris, dried clothes, plush toys, coats, quilts, etc. If there are books, they are just flipping through them and forgetting to put them away.
In addition to bay windows, there is also a balcony worth tinkering with, which is also poetic and picturesque. Planting flowers, vegetables, rocking chairs and hanging baskets makes you happy just thinking about it. But it’s hard to say whether this leisurely mood will remain the same. The
bay window is like an intuitive example. Those originally envisioned blueprints were either incompletely implemented or changed in the end. But after having children at home, all kinds of graffiti and all kinds of things are missing. Don’t expect the windows to be bright and clean, but it does reveal a different kind of vitality. You may think it doesn't matter if your children scribble on the wall, since the wall is already pretty enough. There are many dead spots that we know should be cleaned, but procrastination keeps coming back, so we comfort ourselves that we can just out of sight and out of mind.
can even be extended to personal image, how to pay attention to how to be serious before getting married, rather than the way people are now in middle age.
is just like those beautiful visions at the beginning, most of them have become unsustainable wishful thinking.
But having said that, home is a place where you feel at ease. If you want convenience and comfort, you shouldn’t be too particular about it. There is a level of acceptance between messy and tidy, and that's fine. Sometimes I tidy up the bay window to make it pleasing to the eye, but within three or two days, it remains messy.
The literary and artistic feelings that I used to be fascinated by have finally lost to the fireworks of ordinary life.
