Fallon's Flat

The little craftsman cottage had been divided up into two apartments.
The one on the right side of the building was the apartment Fallon had
rented.

Though the apartment was small, it was plenty big enough for Fallon's
needs. One tiny bedroom, a small living room/dining combination, a very
wee kitchen, and a nice size bathroom. The landlord said Fallon's unit
got the original bathroom, and that was why it was larger than someone
would have expected. The next door unit got the larger kitchen, for the
same reason.

The doors to the units were side by side, and off a large front porch. A
large picture window from each unit looked out onto the porch, and down
onto the front yard, and sidewalk, before viewing the street. The street
itself was very quiet, mainly because it dead ended just two doors down.
It came fully furnished, including kitchen ware, and linens.

As you entered the living room, off the porch, you found youself in a
very 'blue' room. The prior tenants had done a good job with what they
had, and until Fallon had the means, she would enjoy it as it was.

The floor was tile, and cold, but she hoped to get some more rugs eventually. For the time being, there was one large area rug under the sofa and coffee table, that made it warmer to sit there without her shoes. Plus, she felt secure in that these types of floors were much easier to clean.

The furniture wasn't new, but it was in very good condition,
and smelled, as well as looked, clean. The colors left a little to be
desired...the sofa was more of a lavendar than blue, and the chairs were
pink naugahyde. None of the soft goods showed signs of wear,
something else that surprised Fallon.

There were two cabinets in the living room. One converted into a
bar/desk, and was painted white. Her important papers, and liquor were
stored in that cabinet. The other was painted a lavendar, and sort of
in a trompe l'oeil style. Fallon loved that piece because of it's
uniqueness, and stored her linens in it.

There were various lamps that all worked well, but matched just as good
as the rest of the furnishings. Eclectic was how she described it all.
