Hi-- exciting new changes!
Hello- I am Ashley (F, 27) and for the first time ever I am moving in with a boyfriend. I have always had a really unique and fun boho, colorful, comfortable style and I have been really really into making my home as comfortable as possible. My sweet sweet boyfriend is a 28 year old man who has also never lived with a girlfriend— but he grew up with all women! For the most part, he has given me free reign to do whatever I want to our home. We are moving into a 2 br, 2ba apartment in North Dakota (his home state). He is sporty, a little rustic, and pretty masculine where as I am eclectic, whimsical, and a mix of blues, yellows, pinks, greens. I like calm and colorful .
I want it to feel like we BOTH live there and incorporate both of our styles into our space. He says he doesn't care but I do. Attached are some pictures of my first apartment to provide some places to start.
ANY advice about moving in with someone who doesn't care about how things work? Any advice on making a cozy home with someone whose style doesn't match yours? Below is my current pinterest board.
Disclaimer: this was my living situation 4 years ago and from the last time I lived in an apartment. It isn't perfect, I was younger and poorer and I did the best I could. Yes I know things are crooked and not straight :(
