I’ve always preferred living in pre-1940s buildings for all their historical and architectural charm (so far, six different places and counting, ranging from 1907 through 1931). But my affinity for the old doesn’t always align with my modern day needs, most notably the absence of overhead lighting inside closets.

We’ve all had those moments where we lie awake in bed, finding it impossible to find any semblance of comfort. Every glance at the clock that’s quickly approaching the dreaded hour you’re supposed to be waking up leads to a count down. “If I fall asleep right now, I can get 5 hours…4 hours…3 hours…” ::cue sounding : If you find yourself in this tortuous predicament often, it might be time to rethink your sleep strategy…or at the very least, your pillow.

Since the day we closed on this house four and a half years ago, we’ve been putting our stamp on it room by room. As self-proclaimed homebodies, there’s nothing we love more than staying in and getting cozy, and it was so important to create a home that we loved being in and living in.

My home was built in 1892, originally as a single family. In 1978, it was renovated into condo units. I actually grew up in the unit below, so I was very familiar with the building and neighbors when purchasing! When I first got my hands on it, it had not been renovated (not even paint touch-ups) since the 1978 renovation, so it was in serious need of love. I was inspired by the high ceilings and what was left of the original crown molding and trim. Currently, I live there with my two cats (who love racing down the hall) and am frequently visited by my family who continues to live in the unit below me.
