It’s no secret! I’ve moved over 800 hundred miles away from New Jersey to sweet home Alabama for my dream job as a TV news reporter.
I was so nervous about leaving all the familiarity of home to go somewhere new. I had never even been to Alabama. It was so important for me to make my apartment feel like MY home. I tried to make it cozy as possible with all the apartment decor. Coming back here at the end of the day gives me so much comfort.
The move was…eventful. The moving company promised a delivery on Jan. 6….it showed up Jan. 9. As I type this it sounds silly, what’s a few extra days, right!? Well, my Mom and I slept on an air mattress for one too many nights. Mom had to extend her days and change her flight. It was a pain, but I’m lucky she was able to stay longer. Just a hiccup during the move, but it all showed up and we’re thankful for that.
I feel very grateful for this space and apartment, I’ve worked really hard to have something like this and I’m so happy this apartment is now my home. One day, I’ll live in a more neutral toned space, so while I’m living alone and am young, I wanted a FUN space.
I played with color and ran with it. I wanted to go out of my comfort zone and sway away from neutrals with my apartment decor. Of course, my go to accent color is pink, so you’ll see subtle touches of it all throughout. The main statement in this apartment is the couch. BOLD but I love it. There’s no time like now to have fun with a space. I think it has vintagey/retro vibe but more modern.
