NEW YORK APARTMENT BUILDING - Beginning Stage

Hello Everyone!
Thank you for the lovely comments.
I also have problems with 
my blogs.
There are some things that
my blogger will not let me do.
I also have problems putting links on my
sidebar!
But I guess I cannot have it all.
Anyway I would like to thank all of you
for being my followers and putting up with
me.
Allergy season approached early this
year so it is playing its toll on me already!
Giveaways are coming really soon!
As you can see I have been busy!!
My husbands work friend BILL KING built me
a 6 story apartment building!!
Each floor is
8.5 inches tall making each apartment about
200 square inches which in the real world is 200 square feet.
With the scale of 1 to 1 ratio.
That is still a little apartment.
I painted the outside
a nice light to medium brown color.
Everything inside is white.
However, I will
be painting some of the rooms colors and
maybe just a little bit of wallpaper, but not
much.
But I really have to wait and see 
how each apartment talks to me.
Anything with me is subject to change!!

There will be a lot of apartments in this
building.
The front door is on the bottom
floor on the window side but I am sorry
that I did not take a picture of that.
You will see it later when the windows
are painted and glued in.
Eventually you will see the front
door as I am always backwards.
I like to fix up the apartments and
then decorate!

My goal is to make each layout
differently in the apartments
I hope for each apartment
to hold a bathroom, kitchen, bedroom
and living area.
I hope I can achieve it!!

 My hubby cut out all of the small and large windows.
The big windows on the right side
of the building will have
big bay-windows that
will let you see much of what will be inside.
I will have to design rooms around those.

 The back of each apartment will be windowless. 
The front doors and 'PRETEND' stairs
will go back here.
I have to use every bit of space that I can
so stairs is not an option for this building.

The large front door is not yet
attached to the building.
I will put that on last.
However I am undecided if I should
put windows on this door
or leave it windowless??

Each of these apartments are going to
be crammed full of furniture and of
course the tenants belongings!
This building will be called my
 NEW YORK APARTMENTS
because there is not much square footage.
Real estate is at a premium here!

THANK YOU BILL KING FOR THIS WONDERFUL
BUILDING!!!  I will treasure it always!!

Thank you for visiting me!
Conny

  6. A wonderful building. Would you mind sharing how deep and how wide each floor is on another post since you cannot respond because of blogger. I'm just curious because you say you want a two or three bedroom unit on each floor.
