At the beginning of last year I was in the depths of depression touring apartment after depressing apartment, all victims of college kids and their famously bad taste. So I sighed with relief when I found this place and realized I wouldn’t have to live in a place reminiscent of a state penitentiary. My guess is that this converted house was built in the early 1900s and the windows at the front entrance are the lovely original diamond leaded glass. It’s right across from the city park and we get a great view of all four seasons from our picture window in the living room.

I benefit from living with a great artist! Those are some of her oil paintings over the sofa.

The kitchen in our apartment is the part of the house that seems to have retained some of the cool features of an older home – funky cabinets and shelves give the room some character.

Most of my meals are eaten standing in this room…

The apartment is small and has a lot of windows so we actually ran out of wall space to display all our pictures! I worked this up and was pretty pleased with it.

There are quite a few strange spaces like this little nook in the kitchen. Thankfully we are all pretty creative and have found good uses for most of them.




Love what you guys have done! Glad to see the picture board was given such a place of honor! Becka’s paintings are quiet amazing. And I like your candle collection.
Beanie– this is my first peek into your place! You guys have done such a wonderful job with it! Every space seems perfectly decorated and the kitchen is so cute.
Yup, really, Three very busy college girls always keep it looking this good!
mmhhmm… I actually just shuffled all our junk to the peripheries of the pictures….
Aileen? I thought the mannequins were organized in a martial arts pose…?
A knee to the head, a kick to the face…
