Casey - Chicago

I present, What's in your bedroom's, first American offering, courtesy of WIYB's very own Chips for the Poor - he stayed on Casey's sofa on a recent trip to the States, quickly flashed me a picture of her bedroom - well it's more a stage than a bedroom - and I wanted more. So, Casey was kind enough to let me in. Unfortunately, I couldn't go all the way to Chicago to photograph Casey's wonderfully interesting abode, but the talented artist, Heidi Norton could.
The bedroom is in a building in the Humboldt Park neighbourhood of Chicago. It was a Catholic church that was converted into apartments in the 90's. Casey's apartment is the former church auditorium and the former stage is her bedroom. She has lived there just a few months with her two cats and the occasional couch surfer - like Chips for the Poor.
When I asked Casey what she would save if her bedroom were on fire, she said " My collection of vintage old-lady nightgowns."
