Heather R's Profile

Thank you for sharing these lovely images.

I live in a rented flat, and while I don't love my house (it is cold and damp), I do love my home - the things I've done to it, the collecitons of objects, like the mugs, jars and tins, and pictures on the tea shelf in the kitchen, and my art space with paintbrushes, paints, pencils, works in progress etc.

Despite the cold and the damp, this is the happiest I've been in a place, because it fits my personality.

I spent the equivalent of $1500 (£1000 - pretty much a month's takehome pay) on my bed. I have back and hip problems, and had never slept comfortably. I went for a memory foam mattress with a sprung core and I love it. Have had it for two years now and I really notice the difference when I sleep away from home. I'm a side sleeper, and my bed is the only one where I can sleep the way I like.

For that price, I got the mattress and a nice solid wooden base which gets compliments from people when they see my room.
