nashville

This post will be completely un-fashion related. So for those of you who don't follow me on Instagram, we've moved to Nashville! I am so excited and have been waiting to do something like this forever. We will miss our families and friends more than anything but this will be such an exciting part of our new life together !

I really want to document my life here in Nashville so along with the fashion posts, there will also be some lifestyle posts. So for my first Nashville life post, i'm documenting my apartment search! While we were searching about 2 weeks ago we had 2 days to look at like 6 apartment complexes. Since I had so much fun looking at apartments, I would like to share with everyone all the places we went as well as the place we actually chose to live!

So this is the first place:

This place was always my first choice because it was really big and the complex itself was so beautiful and hilly but once they added on all the fees, it was crazy expensive!
Pros:
beautiful grounds huge apartment lots of natural light close to downtown big screened in patio window in kitchen! fireplace wood floors   Cons: lots of expensive hidden fees the kitchen wasn't open small bathrooms further from work   This one was nice as well but the back porch was facing the Cumberland River, which is cool, except that its basically a swamp with a million mosquitos and spiders.   Pros: nicely redone inside new kitchen inexpensive   Cons: swamp bugs and spiders no sunlight only 2 windows small bedroom weird area
This apartment was really nice and updated but was just a bit too cramped for us   Pros: newly renovated high ceilings lots of sunlight nice neighborhood bar counter   Cons: small gas heating and water no where to put TV and we didn't want to mount it further from work and downtown     I loved it here as well but the apartments that we looked at weren't the cleanest. They weren't dirty but you just would have thought they'd have been cleaner? The woman at the sales office would have given us a great deal too but we just didn't feel like home here.       Andddd here is where we chose to live!:

 

Now I know what you're thinking, "Why didn't you pick one of the places with wood floors or nice kitchens??" For some reason out of all the places we looked at, this was the one that felt most like home. And as I'm sitting here on my couch (finally), I know we made the right choice.

 

Pros:

10 minutes from downtown!

a mile from 3 grocery stores and a bunch of restaurants

 10 ft ceilings

huge windows and a lot of natural lighting

awesome view from all the windows

lots of space

huge laundry room

huge bedroom

 

Cons:

3rd floor (never again)

 

 

 

I can't wait until everything is hung and put into place so I can post pictures of it furnished and decorated ! xo
