apartment style

i have been in my apartment here in franklin for just over a month now and have it just about perfect! with the help of my parents (especially my dad - cannot begin to thank him), all but my winter coats have been driven down 840 to franklin from murfreesboro... i might have to clear up some closet space to fit them! i am loving living here, my apartment is in the perfect spot: minutes to work, downtown, cool springs. nashville is just a hop on the interstate away and if i really need to see my mama and daddy, i can be home in 45 minutes. with the exception of needing a coffee table and the back porch and my room still being a work in progress, i have my apartment just about how i want it. a mix of modern and traditional, mostly feminine with hints of masculine, and a whole lot of white, my little place is home.

y'all come visit now!

summer reading list

suspense / reconstructing amelia (+++) / luckiest girl alive (++)

chick lit / maine (+) / commencement (++) / beach town (-)

historical fiction / the nightingale (++++) 

if you only read one book this summer, make it the nightingale. a novel set in a time period that fascinates me and an illustration of the power of women, it may be one of the best books i have ever read. you won't be sorry turning the pages of that one.
