Three of my four daughters live in Northwest Portland - downtown- where there are so many quaint older buildings filled with wonderful stores, coffee shops, bakeries and fabulous restaurants. They are all within walking dstance of their homes. Some days we will go downtown just to take in the ambiance of the vintage store fronts and admire the beautiful construction work of days gone by.
Last night I dropped by one of my twin daughter's apartments to wish her a happy birthday and drop off a gift...this is the entrance to her vintage building.
It hasn't changed since it was built. It is just beautiful!
This is how we call her so she can buzz us in...
Isn't is just a hoot?
And adjacent to the phone are the mailboxes.
I just love the place and wanted to share it with you all.
I wish I could have taken photos of the inside...
but she was getting ready to go out of town - so no go!
Maybe next time...
Stay Cozy!
Lovely pictures form a wonderful place, thank you for sharing, Carrie!
