..::Previous entry: "DREAMs: Glowing Boomboxes from the Grave, Pants from Hell and Tumor Ladies"::.. ..::Main Index::.. ..::Next entry: "'My 17 Years as an Unauthorized Jew' (The Good, section 1 part 3: Father)"::.. 03:10:2006 Entry: "Ann : DREAM: Old Apartment"DREAM: Old ApartmentI was in an old building like a two-flat. It was sort of like my grandparent's house in Massachusetts, sort of that Victorian era. I was in the second floor and sleeping on a rollaway cot or a couch like I did when I visited their place (which was probably twice in my life). It was like I was living there with Stan, except we were moving. I remember staring at a window in another room from my bed, and it had sort of elaborate window decorations...very Victorian. I could also see the exterior from the house simultaneously (you can do that in dreams), and the house was painted light purple and yellow, sort of like the paint job on a couple houses next to eachother about a mile or so away from where we live IRL (IRL, one of these houses appears to have nearly the exact original floorplan, or at least original exterior look, as our house*. I remember one scene in this dream where there was a moving man taking the stove out of the apartment with one hand. And this guy was older, maybe mid 50s and sort of stocky. I was amazed at his ability. Then later in the dream Stan was gone doing errands, but his half-sister J__i_ was there. She opened up the window with the Victorian treatment to let some air in. There was music or the radio or tv playing. Then there was a rapping at the door. I was sleeping during this (in the dream I was sleeping) or halfway dozing. When she heard the rapping on the door, she closed the window. She did not answer the door. I was figuring she was afraid to answer it for some reason. *There are three houses we've found in town with this look, including ours. One house is on Gorham Street about a mile away, and the other is on a side street near Bernie's Rock shop--that's the house that's painted purple and yellow. The purple and yellow house is next door to a house painted in the same color scheme, so we figured its owned by the same people. Unfortunately, they also added a salmon or reddish orange color to the trim job, which makes no sense from a color design point of view. I mean yellow and purple work fine as complimentary colors, but throw in a tertiary color there from left field...what on earth were they thinking? Anyway, the Gorham Street house has a nice sage green with darker shades of green or brown paint job. It appears to have the least amount of remodel work done. The purple and yellow house has had some remodel work done in back, adding some extra room on the second floor, however the front part looks original. Ours has had the most remodel work done on it, both advantageously and disadvantagously. Had it been original, it would be much more cramped especially on the first floor. Extra room was added in back to extend the kitchen (that's the first thing we're fixing if we ever win the lottery which we never play), and the front porch was completely enclosed. I actually like this extension in front, which is where half our living room is. Those additions were done in the "modern" era (40s? 50s?), but there is a strange addition that was done fairly recently after the house was built in 1908. From looking at the other two homes, it appears that one side of the house (where the master bedroom is that used to be the dining room) used to stick out much less, probably sort of in a bay window style. When we completely gutted the master bedroom to make it liveable, there was evidence of the original exterior walls outlined on the ceiling. I wish I knew more about my house and who built it. The two houses on either side of us are more similar to eachother, and are younger (1910 or so). Houses across the street all resemble their next door neighbors. But ours is unique in this neighborhood. And the colors? Well, we had to work around our roof color, which is green (ugh). The base color is "frangipani" which is a pale creamy yellow. It is trimmed with "baked clay" and "taupe". On the second floor where there's a division created in the architecture we change over to "dutch coco." It has sort of a southwesterny/victorian/fall color scheme. Our next door neithbors houses are grey and tan vinyl sided (ours is restored original and new wood), so ours cheers it up quite a bit.
2 Comments I see we have some peeling paint spots to fix this summer. I really love this house even with the work it needs. Posted by Stan @ 03:10:2006:06:37 PM CST It is strange that you might dream about J__i_ because she has never been in our house. You weren't dreaming about our house, but it sounds simular to our house. Posted by Stan @ 03:11:2006:08:07 PM CST By Ann @ 09:18 AM CST:03:10:06 ..::Link::.. |
