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.
Original Mailboxes 
Hallway
Original Glass Door Knobs

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.
Dressing Room/Closet
Tall ceilings that require custom made curtains
Butler's Pantry
