It Came From The Porch : Apartment Tour

Lilu Dallas Multipass, the lovely lady I share the apartment with. And does her hair collect on the hardwood floors and in the corners in huge evergrowing clumps of grey? Funny you should ask! See that broom over there? Knock yerself out.

But if you wanna take a look around first...

The sofa that's been with me since my first apartment, ever. Bought it for $100 from a seedy furniture place down on Dauphin Island Parkway. It had been reposessed from some redneck family out in bumfuck and it reeked. Many cleanings later... anyway, it's huge, big enough to sleep four if they're friendly, or interested in things other than sleep. Just watch out, it has a tendency to suck you in. Many books read here. Many interesting items found under the cushions.

And to the left...

My current favorite spot in the house. I just inherited that chair from my folks, who inherited it from my grandfather. It's incredibly comfortable, and the first two days I had it I fell asleep in it. Good reading spot. That's my bedroom through the door, and yes, it really is that bright. It's wonderful in the afternoons... stretch out like a cat and soak in the sun. That window looks out on Dauphin Street.

The other fireplace. The bulletin board is sort of my staging ground for photos I want to frame. They live there in view for a while until I decide where and if to hang them. The mantle collects miscellaneous stuff, candles, cameras, photos, the bong when I don't want Lilu (or me!) to knock the damn thing over... AGAIN...

Look, she's adorable, ok?

Wanna see my engravings? They're in the bedroom...
