dear beautiful new home, you were worth all the pain and misery of moving.



in the last few days, i have discovered that i really hate moving.

i hate it so much that i don’t think i will ever move again.

luckily, that would be fine with me...

because i am madly in love with my new apartment.


it is the most beautiful place i have ever seen.

it looks out on a gorgeous lake, has lots of windows and sunlight,

hardwood floors, glass doorknobs, gauzy white curtains,

anthropologie” colored walls….

it is perfection.

it was worth the many tears that were shed

during the moving process.

{seriously, it was on the verge of traumatic…}

tyler also moved into a beautiful new place,

which we have named the treehouse.

it is a studio/loft surrounded by trees and overgrown brush

in the middle of the city.

it is so funky and unique…and perfect for tyler.

the only way to get into the treehouse is

a teeny tiny wobbly spiral staircase.

moving in involved tying furniture to bungee cords

and pulling things up.

traumatic.

my mom, isabel, and nan nan were sweet enough to make

the eight hour trek from nashville to come help me decorate.

my mom has a magic touch when it comes to interior design.



{apartment,

thank you for being perfect for me.


thank you for being the most beautiful place i have ever seen.

thank you for being cheaper than my ugly house in a terrible part of town.

thank you for giving me huge windows to see the prettiest view in charleston.

thank you for making me feel so comfortable, so happy, and so completely at home.

thank you!!!!!! I love you.}

I hate moving too, yet I have done it a lot. You get used to it evantually. Your place does look absolutely beautiful. I wish you luck with finishing all the unpacking and lovely things that come with moving.

Your new place sounds awesome! And so does Tyler's treehouse. :) Moving can be *very* traumatic!

esther lee said...

It looks and sounds gorgeous.

And how fun would it be to live in a tree house of sorts?

We just moved at the end of May to a place about half the size of what we had been living in. I second the trauma of moving. Many tears were shed on my part.

hi olivia,
i just came across your blog through nina's. lovely!
and i empathize with you about your recent move. i just did that myself last week. although i *love* my new house, it is a big project to move!
also my little sister used to go to college of charleston and my mom lived there for a while, too. it's such a lovely town, one of my most favorite places to visit.
love,
sara
