I WANNA live there Wednesday # 33


I live in a pretty incredible area - in Montreal, It's an historical neighbourhood loaded with tons and tons of charm - and 20th century architecture, just steps away from the city center, it's also a pretty expensive neighbourhood ( in which I live in servants quarters basically compared to what I'm surrounded by ) 
Because there are days I don't have furniture makeovers to show you - I've chosen Wednesdays to showcase and feature one or two homes that are for sale around here.................( or apartment - or duplex - or teepee )
Keep in mind this is in the heart of the city - so the prices reflect that  - think Manhattan - where these places would cost 3 or 4 times what they're listed for here!
On occasion I'll showcase beautiful homes in other areas - countries - continents - the one thing most of them will have have in common will be their age - because I love old homes with stories to tell, join me won't you?

Ok right to business - all UNDER a million - because generally I show over a million or 2 - I wanted you to see that people DO live here for under that amount................( like me - and mine is well under the amounts of the one's I'm about to show you )

Next is the Redfern Apartments

It's always something...................

Good morning all!

We had a small crisis here yesterday morning - that completely resolved itself by the end of the day - nothing I can speak about - but since all's well that ends well - I don't NEED to!

In addition to the above crisis - last night,  the mirror that rests on my mantel decided it didn't like being there anymore -
seriously - it lunged over the mantel to it's death..............rather than just stay put AND it  missed me by a quarter of an inch


I was moving these chairs to the front door to deliver them to April's today and had just moved the last one.
OMG - I don't know what I would have done - really - can you imagine if I would have had to start over?
think I would rather have had it slice half my nose off ( which is too big anyway ) than have to start over on the chairs.


So another 7 years ?
Sigh..............

Have a good Tuesday all  :)
