I've live in my apartment for about a year and three months. It's amazing for me to look back on what my apartment looked like when I was just moving in. It was bare with little personality.
In the year I've lived here my apartment has truly become my home. I think about buying stuff to decorate it with all the time. Everytime I near the end of a trip I look forward to coming home to my apartment and flopping onto my bed (even if it's not the most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on). I get excited to invite people over to share my space with me. I even went out and bought a tiny Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. A few days ago, a friend and I discussed the potential of us moving in together- but honestly I couldn't imagine moving out of this apartment.
Here's a link to my blog post of photos of what it looked like before I started decorating! My 1st Apartment.
