That's it for today. I realized I missed 2 stops while typing this. I also saved one stop for tomorrow. There were also 4 stops for apartment building which I didn't even take a picture of. This was one of the wealthiest parts of town in the early 1900s. It really is a beautiful area.
This was at a Chinese Restaurant
$2 to use rest room
$9 min per person
All of my clothes and shoes are back in the closet!
The shelf above the washer/dryer combo is removed so after carpet is replaced I can fit a stacked washer and dryer. I wanted to move the washer over more toward the wall but this thing is heavy.
I still need to organize and purge but it's in the right room for now. Baby steps.
I hope you are enjoying Hyde Park. I'll see what else I can find there but I will finish up this tour tomorrow. I plan to work on the fireplace more this weekend. I have been doing more research and have a few other things to try. I haven't painted any more walls yet. Today I will be cleaning all of the bits and pieces of the closet still in other rooms.
Until tomorrow.
