a visit to emily's pad

emily lives in a huge glasgow tenement flat full of character and great views of glasgow and beyond. given the fact it's rented emily is kinda stuck with the 'granny' style decor which strangely enough has a comforting charm about it. in the summer she moves her drawing table up lots of narrow winding stairs to her turret room studio with little round windows. it has an 'alice in wonderland' feel to it. i will show you soon.

old tiles

many of glasgow's victorian tenement (apartment) buildings have beautiful tiles on the walls. they can be found in many close's (stairwells) this one was on the outside of a nearby building i passed by last week.
