TASK TWO // THE ABODE 

For this task, you will be showing off where your character lives. This can be an actual townhouse, condo, or apartment in Boystown -OR- one you put together yourself.

Some possible drabble topics: What is the size of the home? What are the amenities? What is it close to? Do they live with roommates? Family? Pets? Where is their favorite place to spend time in the home? How often do they clean? How much does it cost per month? Etc.

Don’t forget to tag your response boysttask and boysttask02 so that we can see your response. Additionally, here’s a link to the first task from 2 weeks ago.

The Shared Ollstott Boystown Abode:

What’s up MTV World, welcome to my (shared) crib. I got the sweet back bedroom with a view kinda onto the street but also kinda onto the backyard. I got a little balcony here because I’m attached to the fire escape, so that’s cool if I wanted to like grow a plant or something I guess. It’s like my own little oasis. There are like six of us here, but you wouldn’t know it.

We have hilarious people using word magnets on the fridge. I contributed the George Foreman grill. My bookshelf holds books and stuff or whatever I need. I got a pretty good deal from the thrift shop. It’s pretty tight. The hot water pressure is awesome and like I’ve even taken a bubble bath cause it’s also a tub. So that’s neat.

The first thing people see when they enter is the open space that Raphael has dedicated to his practice. As they walk inside, they can see how there was a desk tucked behind the only closet in the entire studio apartment, a single laptop rested on top and a chair was tucked beneath. But what dominated the line of sight was the single, lonely, music stand that blended into the tall buildings of the Chicago skyline; the music stand’s shadow cutting a sharp line through the light that pooled on the floor. There was a reason Raphael kept his violin practice there, between his work space and his bed: the viola was his work, yes, but it was also the thing he held most intimately in his life. 

There wasn’t an equivalent to a living room in his apartment--Raphael didn’t do much hosting--and so his dining table was tucked at the end of his kitchen, out of the way. There was a second seat, yes, but they both faced the same way because, more often than not, it was occupied by one of Raphael’s animal friends. 

The space is clean, yes, but mostly because Raphael didn’t have much to clutter it with. He didn’t have anyone to share the space with either. When he was 19, and coming into his own lack of sexuality, he prioritized his viola and career over everything else. When his parents passed, and he inherited things he never expected, he moved the majority of their stuff (his memories) into a storage unit he still pays for every month. Now, at 47, he was wondering if he was too hasty, and perhaps he is, maybe, just a little lonely. 

    when  it  comes  to  simplicity,  aaron  absolutely  loves  it.     he  lives  in  a  nice  two  story  townhouse  that  is  so  inviting,  guest  don’t  seem  to  want  to  leave.    immediately  walking  in  you  could  see  the  living  room  on the  left.  because  of  the  bland  white  walls,  he  gives  each  room  a  pop  of  color,  with  having  plants  around.  blue  is  ultimately  his  favorite  so  he  sprinkles  it  throughout  each  room.   wooden  tops  and  wooden  floors,  each  room  has  an  aesthetic  that  can  be  honored  to  be  on  hgtv.
