After posting a couple of little pictures of my apartment on Instagram, I’ve gotten some requests to share photos of my apartment (I’m flattered).  While the good old apartment isn’t quite all ready to be shared yet, I wanted to give you a sneak peek into some of my favorite details (so far).

While this little home may be far from perfect, it’s been an incredible feeling to know that it’s all mine.  Each day I’m able to look around and know that I did all of this, and I did it on my own.  The sense of freedom and independence that this place has given me has been indescribable – from being able to paint the kitchen chartreuse without having to get an okay from anyone else, to just being able to keep things as clean (or as messy) as I want – it’s truly up to me.
