The apartment hasn't been used as an apartment in a long time.The man uses it now as random bits of storage for the bigger furniture in his downstairs shop.Its dusty,run down,and a little eerie..what I'm trying to say is that it is awesome!If I was a single gal I'd definitely be bugging this gent to let me rent this place.

I fell in love with the floor lamp in this room!
I moved into my home in November and there is still a lot of the home I need to furnish on top of repairing.My bedroom is one of the things that needs furnishing,I've been holding out for a 20's or 30's bedroom set on the cheap.I haven't had much luck so I'll probably just have to piece together similar pieces unless the vintage gods decide to throw me a bone here (ahem,seriously vintage gods throw me a bone!).If that is the case I think I'll be coming back for this piece when I have some spending money(why was I shopping when I was broke?I like to torture myself and I wasn't shopping I was lurking remember!?).
I love my vintage purses and I have TONS,but I do have one modern purse and yes,it is Hello Kitty.Today was one of my very rare no vintage days,even my cat eyes today were repros.
I have a morbid sense of humor and most of the things that ran through my head run a good chance at offending some.When I opened a few of the closets I didn't get anything out of it but for some reason when I opened this one in one of the back rooms it gave me a creepy vibe and I envisioned a neon sign that instead of reading "open" said "hang yourself here". Then I laughed,felt bad for laughing and shut the closet door ,and hurried out of that room.
Loved seeing these pictures on instagram, so it's interesting to hear the bigger story behind what exatly you were up to lurking in an abandoned apartment!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked them!I need to start taking more photos of when I go out,I love my town!It has so much history.
DeleteHaha....yup, creepy closet! Those steps are killer but what a time capsule that old apartment is!
ReplyDeleteThere is a listing for a home here that really is a time capsule!I'll have to do a blog post on it soon.
DeleteWow this place looks fabulous - but definitely creepy. Kind of like The Shining! Really interesting when you find these places though...soon they will all be ripped out and redeveloped and lost forever!
ReplyDeleteOh I would have loved to look around that place. It's really neat and sort of sad all at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI just wonder who used to live there and use that sweet yellow kitchen.
So cool! I love roaming around in places like that. I'm glad that you could get permission. And I wonder if you are an intuitive...hmm...
ReplyDeleteHow cool that it was left furnished...and yes, vintage bedroom sets seem to be hard to find these days. After looking for a couple years, I broke down and bought a vanity and matching chest of drawers for my hubby. Now to find a bed...
ReplyDeleteWow! What a fun place to explore! I love it, it seems so untouched and a tad bit creepy, for sure (but then again, I have a soft spot for creepy!) I went on a tour of some old buildings in my little hometown a few years ago, and there was one building that had an entire floor of tiny rooms that were once rented out to boarders. Each one had a different wallpaper from probably the 30s. It was amazing!
ReplyDeleteVery happy to have stumbled upon you here!~
What a great place to get the chance to explore, but I can see it's a bit creepy!
ReplyDeleteI want to move now...
