Told you you would love Cupcakes and Cashmere. Gah, I’m addicted to her blog. haha! Have you looked at Collinsville trade day for globes, glass door handles, and other fun stuff? Also, try Swann’s on Forrest Ave. I love that place!

I love the string lights—so cute! Your apartment is going to be beautiful, haha.
— Aw, thanks! I mean, I can’t purchase all of these things, buuuut… I will definitely buy those lights, if notthing else. Haha.
Bathroom:
Our bathroom doesn’t have a lot of counter space, so I’m trying to focus on storage. As much as I would love a ton of little trinkets all over, I can only manage essentials…
I really like this collection:
Possibly minus the soap dish, tissue box, water glass, and tumbler

My bedroom:
I’m not sure if any of you have seen my photos, but my room colors are deep purple, light turquoise, white, black with gold and silver accents and lots of bird details.
I really need:
an old wooden frame television (to paint white)
a wooden Extra-Long Twin bed
a small wooden computer desk
Currently, I have two dressers that I plan on painting into a distressed-looking white.
I want...
Things that we DO have...
6 mauve, antique, velvet-seated dining room chairs and matching round table….
Big, black leather trunk to put the television on in the living room…
previously mentioned couch and chairs…
bookshelf…
hmmmmm
Some more little things to put in the dining...
As you can probably tell, I’m obsessed with birds. I can’t help it.
I also love decals. I think that they are so chic and easy!
Target- Birds and Blossoms wall decal...
More living room stuff...
We have a deep red, Victorian style love seat and matching arm chair, so I’m loving this off-white crochet to give a little contrast.

Awesome! The place is really pretty. Enjoy it! Living in an apartment is A LOT of fun. I miss it :(
— Aw, thanks so much! You need to come visit. I cannot wait!
Finally found an apartment!
It’s literally perfect. Haha, it’s called Redmont Gardens Apartments, located in Mountain Brook. It is near the Birmingham Zoo, Vulcan Park, and the lovely English Village. This place was built in the 1930s, it’s so quaint and welcoming. I’m so obsessed.

I really hope...
that I can start writing for Birmingham Free Press soon.
Or anywhere, really.
I feel like I should write more...
If I want to be a writer.
I just feel… and I think. Then I re-analyze what I think.
I forget to dream and I forget to be.
I get caught up in what I want…. or need.
But I don’t really believe it.
I am a doubter. Maybe by nature. Maybe not.
I love streaming like this.
I miss you.
