WestHouse's Profile

Even though this is temporary, I love it!

I had a great vintage dress hanging on the wall at an apartment many moons ago. I have a vintage hanger collection that I love to use to display stuff! A few people thought it was the strangest thing, but why not hang something up with great color that gets you thinking! It makes a lot more sense to me than a bunch of generic posters or art that don't mean anything to me. I want to do the same at my new place (my grown up married lady apartment) with painted brass nails and my vintage hangers.

*patterns. Ugh.

Things have changed. Employment means different things than it did 30 years ago.

I am a 29 yo married woman who just finished graduate school. Since graduating from undergraduate college (taking loans for both) I have moved no less than 6 times for jobs, school, to cut transportation costs, relationships (both good, bad, friendship and later marriage!) and all of this has prevented me from putting down roots. Now that I am married, my husband will be starting a new job that will move us every two years. Even without his career, I would expect to need to move multiple times in order to dive into my career deeper.

Being in your late 20's/early 30's no longer means settling down buying your starter home, and moving up the street in a few years when you get a promotion and the babies demand more space (apparently they specifically ask?). Moving often requires organization, and owning less.
