My Rooms, With A View
Found my camera when I cleaned out my study. A few pictures from my new apartment:
I live near the mountains, in Salt Lake City. It's a 2 minute drive to the entrance to the nearest canyon, and within 15 minutes I can be in 3 or 4 other canyons, including the one that leads to Park City, where Sundance is held every year. I never expected to live here at this time, but it's where I got my great job.
This is the view from my balcony. It doesn't really do it justice, the mountain peak is 12,000 ft. elevation.
My dining room, with my Buddha scroll, rice cooker, electric kettle and Chongqing Starbucks mugs on the stove back. It's like I'm back in China all over again.
My living room:
Two pictures now hanging in my living room/dining room:
A little qipao I bought in the Shanghai airport so I wouldn't have to change that money back to dollars:
A picture T. took in Tibet last year of two Tibetan monks in an alleyway, holding hands. It's now above the sofa chair:
A clearer shot of my bedroom:
So, that's where I live.

My study. There are three bookcases scattered about the room. I thought I'd like that better than all in a row, and I do! Still need a proper chair and some bamboo in vases, but so far it's a nice, homey space I enjoy.

Isn't it funny how we end up somewhere...and that is not where we ever expected to be? But it seems that is where we were MEANT TO BE.
I adore that photo of the monks. How sweet, they are holding hands. I love that!

A home is a place for the heart to find solace. God bless.

*sigh*
Love your antique furniture scattered here and there in your appartment ;-)
It's obvious I haven't been to your blog in awhile... I had no idea you'd even relocated. I've got some reading to do!
Congrats on the new place, new job, etc! Exciting new chapter for you!
