One with gorgeous hardwood floors, new appliances, beautiful baseboards and new doors — ones that haven't been painted over for 50 plus years. And of course more space. But none of this is going to happen.
I'd also love to get a new sofa. A new end table. And a few other new pieces of furniture, especially dining chairs as I now have none. Most of this is not going to happen either, except for the dining chairs, those I need.
I plan on having my apartment painted soon, and have sent an email to the painter to schedule it. It's been over a week and he still hasn't responded. But eventually he will. When it's painted, the letters on my son's door (they spell his name) will come down. They were put up when he was an infant and should have been removed years ago, but I kinda like them.
After weeks of asking, two of the guys who work here helped me move around some furniture. Even though my son's door is now mostly blocked, I like the openness — especially now that my TV no longer sits in front of my window. It feels more welcoming.
Once I get my photos framed and hung, put my TV on the wall, get the windows and rugs professionally cleaned, and find some dining room chairs and a rug for underneath them, I'll be mostly there.
But for now, I'm enjoying my new view.

Nice!
