House Tour: My Downtown Savannah Studio

today I want to share the little studio apartment  I lived in downtown savannah. After scouting craigslist, trulia, and every other house renting website for about two months, I was lucky to find this 500 square feet  of cuteness! Originally my wish list consisted of: 

• rent price I could afford on my own- check!
• preferably no roommates-check!- 
• in a safe green crime area in downtown savannah-check! control access and security cameras made me feel at ease 
• walking distance to SCAD's Eichberg- check! 10 minute walk 
• on site parking or near parking garage-onsite parking was not available but I had access to a nearby SCAD parking lot 

 The place was an ideal temporary place to live close to work, school and all that Savannah has to offer! I loved walking around the squares, running in Forsyth park, window shopping and eating out in the many restaurants that were with in walking distance. But my favorite part was that I got to live in one of Savannah's historic buildings!!

The studio apartment is located in the DeRenne building on Liberty street. The Eight -story residential condominium designed by Swedish architect Henrik Wallin, was constructed in 1920. The building exhibiting Georgian Revival architecture was the first  high rise apartment building in Savannah. 

I had a great time decorating and making this room my own, I repurposed most of the furniture from my girl cave and added a few things, such as the daybed and dinning set. I wish I took better pictures,  specially of the kitchen area and bathroom, the bathroom had this chandelier

Besides to waking up to the trash truck noises around 5-6 am every morning, I ADORED this apartment and living in downtown Savannah. I am trying to convince my husband that we should retire in Savannah so I can buy a historic house that I can  restore and decorate to my heart's content.  SaveSaveSaveSave
