Ooh.
My apartment building, a fourplex, was built for a doctor’s family around the turn of the last century. It would be an above-average sized house by today’s standards and back in the day must have been quite impressive. There are many lovely details — scattered in amongst the many horrible ones like general disrepair, bad mid-20th century updates, the strangely-configured layouts that arise when divvying up a single-family dwelling into four units, and the odd cat turd. But that’s another story.
These are the more charming details, though.

Just love the details, Sarah!!!
Thank you very much!
I love the shapes and sculptures, so beautiful 🙂
Thanks, Andy!
What, no even cat turds?
I have to have something for the rest of the 354 days!
Really beautiful! would love to have those in my house. Old houses have charm even if they’re not easy to handle. 🙂
Thanks Franzi! Yeah, it’s a mixed bag, for sure. Sometimes I want to live in a more modern setting but for now I still really love my old apartment.
great use of light and angles sarah
Thanks so much!
Lucky you! I love old architecture. Can I come live with you?
Welcome aboard! You will be awakened / harassed every morning by cats with bad breath. 🙂
Ha ha! Mint flavored cat treats?
Gorgeous and fascinating details
Thank you so much!
I’m laughing at Disperser’s comment. I thought the same thing! Your taking photos of “pretty” details of your apartment is much like I do with my property. Sometimes (like now), it looks like ass. Get a little closer, though, and it’s just beautiful. Like putting blinders on.
Putting blinders on is my specialty when it comes to my apartment. But in my newest post I am facing the apartment HEAD ON. (Still no cat turd, though.)
