Natalie’s Cozy, Contrasting Home Full of Character

Name: Natalie Slyman Location: Saint Louis, Missouri I live in the upstairs of a two family flat apartment in the Tower Grove neighborhood of Saint Louis, Missouri. The flat was built in 1914 and still obtains its original woodwork, light fixtures, gold radiators and character. We get so much space for price in this city and I love that we stumbled upon such a beautiful place in a wonderful, thriving neighborhood.
