small space living (before)

I wanted to do a little "before" post of the apartment to document the way things were when I moved in. The lighting was a little weird on the day I took these pictures because the weather has been grey and rainy.

The apartment that I'm moving into has been passed down in the "family," and I am so excited to be moving here. There are many special moments that it holds, and it makes my heart happy to know that there have been songs written here.

entryway, bathroom to the right and kitchen to the left.

tiny bathroom with a little storage! the biggest challenge is going to be getting used to life without giant closets! I grew up in a house that was about 100 years old (built in the early 1900s), so there weren't built in closets, and the apartment that I've lived in for the past year and a half had some pretty large closets, whereas this one has two small closets but a lot of kitchen storage.

small bedroom with tiny closet (to the right out of the photo).

I can't wait to start getting things moved in and set up here!!!
