Ever notice on House Hunters that every time people see a nice balcony, overlooking a beautiful scene as they are house hunting, they say, it’s a perfect place to have coffee in the morning.
And of course, every spare room or small room, would make a great office.
I wonder how many people use the room for an office and how many people have coffee on the balcony.
I have a beautiful wrap around balcony where I live. I’ve been here for over 20 years and I don’t think I have ever once had coffee out there. I do use one spare room as an office, I’m typing this in the office right now.
I have another spare room that looks like an attic – it’s full of stuff.
My balcony faces the bay – it’s literally feet from Biscayne Bay and it’s beautiful. Whenever people would come here and see it for the first time, they would invariably say, “If I lived here, I would be out on the balcony all the time.”
I tell them, “I’m usually in my bedroom watching tv.” And they laugh, but it’s true. I guess the grass is always greener.
I was doing this thing where I was taking pictures of clouds and making images out of them. I was showing someone the balcony and said, “Here is where I take the cloud pictures. But I take them through the window, I don’t go out on the balcony to do it.”
The height of laziness.
I do appreciate the balcony and the view though. I look outside every day, it’s the first thing I do in the morning. I never get tired of it. I’m just not out there having coffee, or wine, or whatever. Maybe I should.
