I Want That One

I have a hideously large folder in my bookmarks containing hundreds of unedited links to a lot of things that I want in this life, all pertaining to homes and interiors, which is named quite simply “I Want That One.” Yes, I was vaguely inspired by Little Britain when I came up with that one. Obviously, it is my intention at some point to revisit this folder and edit out the unnecessary, the overindulgent and the downright greedy selections that I have made over the course of I Want That One’s lifetime but there is always something else to do. For not only am I a vigorous bookmarker, I am also a shameless list maker and my fellow list makers will understand that this one wouldn’t even make it onto my to do list because I would never have the ultimate satisfaction of crossing it off.

So you see, when I came across this selection of images of a rooftop terrace in New York on Apartment Therapy today, my right hand automatically latched onto my mouse and I watched as the cursor uncontrollably moved to the bookmark section of my browser and promptly saved the web page into “I Want That One.” Because that’s how it works – it’s a fully automated system that I am sometimes totally unaware of and were I to even attempt to edit the folder I probably wouldn’t remember half of the web pages saved in there anyway!

So, back to the subject at hand, I am having some serious terrace envy just looking at these images courtesy of Apartment Therapy…

I wonder if I could fit all those lovely things – the outdoor kitchen, a table and chairs, the sun loungers and a glorious outdoor shower on my meagre balcony (bottom right image above)? A bit of a tight squeeze perhaps?
