How you make your home yours and comfortable =]

Post Reply New Topic

Hey hey, I was just wondering what people do who have ASDs to make their home comfortable to live in.

For me personally it is remote controlled bulbs meaning I can alter the lighting to my whim and make me feel good.

Let me know what you all do to make your homes comfortable.

In my home are a multitude of collections I have amassed over the years. Right now I am sitting on the sofa in the living room and to my left is a five shelved display cabinet filled with seventeen professionally painted monster models from the past including those old Aurora ones (Frankenstein, Wolfman, Forgotten Prisoner, Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde, Dracula, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Phantom of the Opera, King Kong, Mummy, Bride of Frankenstein, Witch, Hunchback, and Godzilla. Beside that is my great-grandfather's library desk and display case which has in it such things as old roller coaster tickets, fossilized shark's teeth, a piece of fabric from the Graf Zeppelin airship, a near mint vintage Rolleiflex camera, a mint condition old Argus camera, and an old sideshow gaff that was probably billed as the World's Smallest Mummy. On top of the case is my great-grandfather's old fiddle, a bugle from the Spanish-American War, carvings by my great uncle, and an old mantle clock. I have amusement park ride models in a curio cabinet along another wall. In the music room is a Hammond organ and a computer that I am downloading old family photos to. In a spare bedroom is my great aunt an uncle's 1930s art noveau bedroom set. In that bedroom is my grandmother's old stand alone cedar closet which houses my vintage 1920s roller coaster blueprints and house blueprints. The family room contains my magic illusions, another Hammond organ, and my 1885 piano. Numerous other musical instruments fill my home. I feel like I live in a museum of my family's heritage and my life. That makes my home comfortable to me.

By maintaining a visitor free enviroment.And soft lighting.

a series of CDs with various kinds of pink and brown noise on them to drown out my noisy neighbors. mostly indirect lighting on the dim side. bundled clothing to beat back the winter cold. opaque salvaged paper drapes to block sunlight from entering.
