details.

before i pack my apartment, i want to capture the details that have made
 it my own little home for the past year. it's the first place that was mine.

^photograph of neuschwanstein, a relic of my grandmother's travels to germany in the 60s. it inspired me as a little girl and she promised it to me once i was all grown up with a home of my own. my grandfather kept her word. 
^the birdcage shower curtain that brings whimsy to my mornings.


^my bedroom and the curtains my dad and i had trouble hanging and laughed over for days, the poster from the national concert my college roommate and i roadtripped to atlanta for sophomore year, the blanket i've had since middle school, the winter candle on my nightstand that i burned all year long…

^maybe my favorite thing in the apartment: the red coat rack right inside my front door. 
^i've spent so much time in this kitchen.
^the tiny table that my great-great-great-great grandfather made. it was my summer project 
to spruce it up and it now displays the vintage stamps i collected last summer in ireland.
^framed letter from my great-grandmother. she said i'd be a writer one 
^my shelf of favorites.
^a refrigerator full of letters and postcards from my loves all over.
^kitchen nook, where my every days begin.
