Forgive the piles of stuff everywhere, but here is our apartment!
Here is the Living Room:


And here is the kitchen:


The area I live in, Renfrew , is one of the older areas in Calgary. In fact it used to be the air force base during WW2 but the air field was moved north shortly after the war spurring a ton of post war building in this area.
Here is the Telephone nook:


This telephone nook is my favorite part of the whole house, it's soo cute and it still has the cords set up so that you can plug in a phone there! However we aren't getting a land line so instead it will be a place to show off art or pictures.

Our building was built in roughly late 40's- early 50's. It has been renovated extensively so it doesn't have all the original features, but it does retain some great details like the phone nook and the pocket doors!
Pocket Doors:

The bedroom needs lots of work still but here it is:

You can just see my cat peeking out from under a blanket; but you can't really see my 40's rolltop desk with matching stool because it's hidden under oodles of stuff!
The Bathroom has some cute features too!


I've also been experimenting with 40's hairstyles in my non-unpacking time!

It actually looked quite nice in person, although you can't see it as well in the photos.
Still haven't set up the area of my house where I will take photos but I'm working on it!
More to come when I have more vintage household goods (I am working on getting some nice canisters for the kitchen!).
Bye for now!!
PS- Did anyone notice my site redesign? I redid the header and style of the blog and think it looks a lot better and more professional! I read all my blogs on RSS feeds though so I am posting this to let you know to go look at my blog so that you can see it!
