This brought me the sort of comfort I feel when I turn on those ambient campfire videos. That snowy view with the plants 💚 maybe I’ll browse this sub for a while to chill my brain tf out, ty

I think I’ll join you but you’re quite ahead of me, but I know you’ve left things as they were, in peace.

The apartment looks very beautiful. I love how everything about the decoration was done.

u/Rich-Ad-6186 Nov 07 '24

“The Shadow of What Was Lost” is an apt title to catch my eye🥲 your place is gorgeous!

u/Ms-Proteus Nov 07 '24

Very nice.

u/Craigh-na-Dun Nov 07 '24

Your dining room light is beautiful!!

u/MadeKiffer Nov 07 '24

Thank you, we just got it so I appreciate that!

u/MrAndersonD Nov 07 '24

Would you mind sharing the details of it? Might work for our place too!

u/Slick-Project8895 Nov 07 '24

I love the decor and bookshelf, sad I had to leave it all behind.

2

u/Creative-Pattern1407 Nov 07 '24

Yep. It's a nice one and I love how high it's placed up there. It's not too down to cause heat. 

22

u/findhumorinlife Nov 07 '24

What a beautiful setting and love your table.

2

u/Creative-Pattern1407 Nov 08 '24

The table looks very solid. I'm quite sure it's going to last for a long time and won't break easily. 

1

u/findhumorinlife Nov 08 '24

I love the live edge. And color. Very warm.

u/FivePercentRule Nov 07 '24

What a lovely place. Hope you find some peace.

u/treetoptippytoer Nov 07 '24

Lovely and cozy. I love that you have “ Zen and the Art…” on your bookshelf. Read it in 1981 in college and haven’t seen a copy until now. Enjoy the snow!

11

u/Mountain_Path_ABC Nov 07 '24

I like the redish lighting in the last two.

23

u/MadeKiffer Nov 07 '24

It's a sunset lamp, makes it warm and cozy even when it's snowing out

u/1plus1dog Nov 07 '24

Love that!

5

u/ThrowRA_2yrLDR Nov 07 '24

What model is it ?
Does it work well or only visible in pretty dark conditions?

Love the vibes!

2

u/MadeKiffer Nov 07 '24

It's just a cheap one from Amazon, and no it works when there's light too!

1

u/Creative-Pattern1407 Nov 08 '24

It's the best way to regulate the weather when it's very cold. You're very thoughtful. 

13

u/2x4_Turd Nov 07 '24

Hey I've delivered that exact table a few times. It's insanely heavy.

Sending hugs

u/turtlebob632 Nov 07 '24

The first photo is so serene, I thought it was a painting! 🖼️

1

u/Creative-Pattern1407 Nov 08 '24

No, not at all. It's a real picture taken. It looks so beautiful.

u/Individual_Ebb3219 Nov 07 '24

This was my peace today, my two year old daughter looking up at me with her sparkling eyes and saying, "I'm making a castle, Mama"

11

u/CCORRIGEN A Pillow Nov 07 '24

Tell her to make it big enough so we all can hide in it for the next four years.

49

u/Lost-Fox-9786 Nov 07 '24

Me too. This is beautiful and peaceful, thanks for sharing.

56

u/GallowayNelson Nov 07 '24

So many of us are. I hope you found some.

u/1plus1dog Nov 07 '24

Me too.

u/Direlion Nov 07 '24

Nice lair!

u/Dragons-Are-Neato Nov 07 '24

Your dining room looks almost exactly like a cafe I visited in South Korea

Beautiful set up!

1

u/Creative-Pattern1407 Nov 08 '24

Are you serious? What's the name of the cafe you visited in South Korea? 

1

u/Dragons-Are-Neato Nov 09 '24

Yep. It was just a local cafe by our apartments. Cafe Sage. I used to go there all the time like 10 years ago, but they ruined the interior! The interior now looks awful compared to your setup:

Your photos are breathtaking ❤️ thank you for sharing!

u/A_ChadwickButMore Nov 07 '24

Where do you have snow like that :o

4

u/liltacobabyslurp Nov 07 '24

We had a snowstorm in Colorado that began last night through tonight. Denver is blanketed in white right now

5

u/LeotasNephew Nov 07 '24

This is definitely a good place to find some peace!

5

u/iWentRogue Nov 07 '24

Looks like it has found you. What a dope place to just, be.

48

u/rodneedermeyer Nov 07 '24

I feel for you. For all of us. This has been a horrific twenty-four hours. But your place is beautiful and we will all come out of this wiser than we went in. I don’t know how, but I, as an agnostic atheist, am going to say I have faith. Remember that people love you. And in the case of OP, people also love your cozy space!

u/1plus1dog Nov 07 '24

Well said

I’m sure you don’t mean to minimize what this commenter feels. You are perhaps shocked by the social repercussions of your publicly held views, but others are shocked by existential threats to people and communities they love. Perhaps there are more appropriate days to marvel over how rejected you feel. Moral relativism is a lot of things but it ain’t cozy.

ETA: ❤️ etc etc

This is my fault. I should not have engaged with someone I felt was trolling. Apologies to everyone who came here for coziness and not this nonsense.

“Find kinder ways to spend your time.” I hope you take that in the spirit you said it. Take care.

u/leenz7 Nov 07 '24

Beautiful! um the chandelier, are those glass globes around light bulbs?… if one goes out then what? how do you replace them..

u/mallow_baby Nov 07 '24

Your home looks like the most peaceful place 😌

You're talking to a troll account. Do a little reddit user analysis and the location is listed Russia, Asia. Be mindful of being exploited online by these trolls.

u/tannerge Nov 08 '24

i understand. i was feeling the same. it might help to feel like you are doing something. please help us organize! all the best to you.

u/art-is-t Nov 08 '24

This is a troll account. Just remain mindful folks.

u/1plus1dog Nov 07 '24

Your photos are stunning and define cozy for me. I wish I were there. I wish you peace in your heart, mind and soul. I do know what and how you’re feeling because I too, am. It’s nearly 24 hours after, and I can’t feel anything as much as I feel that makes sense to me.

GRIEF

I definitely feel grief as I’m grieving what’s happened here again. I can’t understand how. Or why, or what’s worse, what’s to come that will divide us more

Thank you for sharing the most lovely cozy space you have with us. It’s like welcoming arms, after the first very dark day.

The division of the people in our United States has suffered another huge blow, and I worry we’ll never recover from it, not with so much hate that can be felt all around me.

u/helper_robot Nov 07 '24

I cannot get over how much it looks like you LIVE INSIDE A TREE. When you look out the window, all the other trees are snowy. Inside this tree home, you have a gorgeous warm table and living things and maybe even a mole, rat and badger coming for tea…

2

u/darkrealm190 Nov 07 '24

James Islington for the win!

2

u/Part_time_persephone Nov 07 '24

Your place is so beautiful!

2

u/Willing_Stomach_8121 Nov 07 '24

You’ll find it there

u/noobwithboobs Nov 07 '24

That philodendron micans is gorgeous in that lighting

2

u/RockandSnow Nov 07 '24

What a lovely space. And the wood the table is made of is beautiful. And soothing I imagine to touch. And it appears you have beautiful trees outside to look at. I actually feel a little better just looking at this photo. Thank you.

u/dichenry Nov 07 '24

This did it for me. My tears have finally released. Thank you so much for the share.

u/sansafiercer Nov 07 '24

u/AutonomousDavid Nov 07 '24

A wonderful spot for family gatherings after a long day.

u/zeexwifi Nov 07 '24

Man I wanna smoke a spliff in your dining room so bad

u/dylbofaggins Nov 07 '24

That mood light is sick! Where did you get it?

u/silverscum23 Nov 07 '24

I have that same copy of the Alchemist, was very disappointed by it

u/kdj00940 Nov 07 '24

Your home and your pothos bring me joy. Thank you for sharing. 🌱

u/crankygerbil Nov 07 '24

Hugs and beautiful room

u/Fuzzy_Cardiologist86 Nov 07 '24

Micans are even beautiful in the dark. Im swooning 💕

u/Significant_Ad_4445 Nov 07 '24

You can have some more drinks or something, but you're just short of some delicious food.

1

u/Fit_Tumbleweed_5904 Nov 07 '24

What a lovely space! Thank you for not junking up the table with dishes, silverware, centerpiece etc..., my pet peeve. The table is so beautiful, it speaks for itself, it needs nothing else. Enjoy your peaceful surroundings and thanks for sharing with me.

1

u/Creative-Pattern1407 Nov 07 '24

Your dinning area looks nice. I love the touch of plants you have there. 

1

u/ZingyXyla Nov 07 '24

With that bookshelf I would be at peace all day long, that's amazing!

1

u/ArtfulThinker Nov 07 '24

What light are you using in that second picture? I'd love to purchase it!

1

u/MadeKiffer Nov 07 '24

It's a sunset lamp from Amazon. Cheap and worth it :)

u/ilikebooksawholelot Nov 08 '24

I love all this ❤️

u/Naughty_Kellyy Nov 08 '24

So peaceful, so cozyyy

1

u/Creative-Pattern1407 Nov 08 '24

I picked out - The Shadow of what I lost from your book's shelve. I'll definitely get the book and read it. 

1

u/AliceAnne1 Nov 08 '24

This looks beautiful. I am also searching for peace - this helps!

1

u/vinnysmalls1499 Nov 09 '24

I'm right there with you, as so many of us are. WTF, America? I need some more work on channeling peace.

u/[deleted] Nov 09 '24

Stunning! And may peace be with you
