I live in the top left apartment
Elberta? Have no idea what that's about but I think it's kinda cool.I decided to take a short break from packing. I'm tired. I'm excited about moving and ready to get it over with. I'm going to miss many things about my current apartment.
I can't begin to tell you how many people have questioned where I live in Houston or made a comment about the safety of the area. I live (for one more day) in the Montrose area. I call it The Gayborhood. It's artsy, eclectic, old and I love it. Yes, I've seen homeless people digging through my trash can for diet coke cans but they're harmless. At least they're trying, right?
I love old buildings. They have so much character. Here's a few things I'll miss about my 1930's building...
Hotel Etiquette post coming next week and a possible giveaway.

I'm not sure what the orginal purpse of this cabinet was for in my kitchen. I've heard it was for the ironing board. I've used it for spices. I organized them in alphabetical order.

Tall ceilings that require custom made curtains

Adorable! We had a darling old apartment in St. Louis when we were first out of grad school... stained glass window and pink & burgundy fixtures in the bathroom, gothic arch doorways, beautiful wood floors with inlaid designs. Really fun :) I love your dressing room/closet!!

Your dressing room/closet is to die for! So cute and girlie...I love it!
I would totally live there too! I might add a rainbow flag outside though, just so the neighbors know I'm down. But not in that way. Hmmm. Is there a rainbow flag that says friendly without being "friendly"?
