I’ve got the sitting area around the front windows with one set of nooks for my books and the other as more of a display area that I’m still tinkering with.
And on the other side of the room is my bed with the desk in between!
And of course there’s the kitchen. Very Important.
My windows look out onto a vacant lot and there’s a Bunny comes out sometimes, a dog who lives in the apartment across the lot and last Friday a lady and mister mallard duck took a rest by the big puddle! It’s like wild kingdom.
Oh lord and then last night some Dudes who live in that apartment were playing corn-hole on the sidewalk. CORN-HOLE. I may have moved out of Ohio but apparently you can never escape corn-hole. Damnit.
The building itself, the “Damen Arms” its just too quirky for words. It’s terribly old, Dr Karl thinks maybe 1930s and a lot of the original fixtures are still here. Like the elevator. The foyer smells like cigarette smoke and sometimes weed but it’s still charming with its faux fireplace and little architectural details. I’m doing my laundry today and you have to beat the shit out of the coin slots for the washers and dryers to start working, so that’s fun, but they do work!! I chipped a nail...
So that’s it for now, more photos will come as things change but for now I’m delightfully content!
