Hello and welcome to my little apartment!
I live in the Uptown neighborhood of Minneapolis. I love it. I am close to so many wonderful boutiques, coffee shops, restaurants, nightlife, oh and grocery stores. Despite the daily traffic I am in love with my 'hood.
Photos of my last apartment can be found here.
In the spring of 2012, my humble apartment was featured in a magazine. It was very exciting!
