That home-y feeling in an apartment

I love how spaces feel like home.

Too bad my old apartment that I wrote about before is just a one bedroom pad and I did not get to invite friends as often as I could because I am mostly too tired to entertain. I dream of having an apartment as cozy as this where my friends lives just right next door.

Like Monica Geller's apartment in FRIENDS:

I found this online. Someone made this replica of Monica Geller's apartment.

Isn't this kyoot? 

When I first decided to get a place of my own, my friend from work Chloe, encouraged me and gave me tips into getting an apartment. I cannot forget the first time I stepped into her apartment. It was a small one bedroom unit, but it really feels like home. She even made pasta for me and she was such a  good host. She came with me when I picked out my first plastic portable cabinet because I don't want to invest in wood like she did. We might have just the same 24sqm space but her place feels a lot like home. Mine really did feel like a big bedroom. Bff and I used to just watch reruns of Sex and the City all the time in the living room and order in.

My friend who migrated from Baguio to pursue her doctoral degree currently rents a 2BR, 2 storey apartment. Though there's no couch, no regular living room stuff that you regularly see, her place feels like home. I cannot recall how many times I passed out sleeping on her mat on the floor. It just felt really comfortable.

Home is regardless of furniture and whatever it is that you bring to decorate your pad. I've been to really nice houses but felt so stiff because it gives an aura of a museum.

The feeling of home emanates from the people who lives in it. I hope I can emanate that feeling too. :)
