Tis all harmless of course, and just think of the inspiration one might receive from certain interiors. I especially like to look into the old houses of the neighborhood.<br />As one commentator above said..a house filled with books has very interesting people inside. I agree! :)<br />SandraMiss Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16925858880019524507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7805373502140195662.post-27482778504691163112011-02-20T21:16:23.467+00:002011-02-20T21:16:23.467+00:00She would approve of the books and the cosiness, I...She would approve of the books and the cosiness, I think.Monicahttp://inknchai.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7805373502140195662.post-18487998056385424512011-02-19T23:06:36.442+00:002011-02-19T23:06:36.442+00:00I am like you, I love to get a glimpse into window...I am like you, I love to get a glimpse into windows, nothing predatory, just a few moment of observing the light, people perhaps and some fleeing moments of seeing someone else's surroundings.<br />I imagine stories behind closed curtains and love those quiet rooms sometimes filled with books.<br />I posted once about it too!<br />You door and window looks incredibly inviting!!!<br />VictoriaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572400688345132982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7805373502140195662.post-85131359583761696472011-02-18T09:56:05.981+00:002011-02-18T09:56:05.981+00:00It's the same as looking into people's bac...It's the same as looking into people's back gardens from the train.

There's a historic neighborhood of old houses in my neighborhood, and once it start getting dark earlier I made it a point to take my walks at dusk, as people turned on their lights.

Once it gets dark, I love peering into the windows across the way -- one has a massive shoe rack with a dozen pairs of shoes of which I am envious; one has an absurdly large clock that I can read from where I am; one has a poster of Winston Churchill. I like imagining the lives of the people who work there.Jennyhttp://jennysbooks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7805373502140195662.post-65504849501900558502011-02-13T19:23:02.021+00:002011-02-13T19:23:02.021+00:00I do the same, I too enjoy a simple glimpse and ma...I do the same, I too enjoy a simple glimpse and make up the rest, it's the nose writer in me who continues to make up the story as I ramble along.
