Our oldest son is moving out...on his own...in an apartment...on his own.
Gulp.
So excited for this boy, but moving out is...so grown up. I find myself telling him things like, "Always look through the peep hole before you open your front door" or "You don't want candles in your apartment, what if you leave and forget to blow it out?!"
Then I have to remind myself that legally he is an adult. To me, he is still a kid.
It's times like this that the Jewish mother in me comes out. I actually said to him at lunch, "Are you eating? You look so thin."
Oy.
He sent me a text the other day "I don't know if you remember, but one time when I was really young I told you that when I get my own house I am going to ask you to decorate it."
Yeah, I remember when you were little- like it really was yesterday.
So here's the plan...

So here's the plan...
The apartment is 845 square feet. Oddly enough, they are the same apartments that Travis and I lived in after we were married. It's a lovely older complex in one of the original neighborhoods in our area. Quiet, on the water, and close to his work. Perfect.
He likes modern....so this is what I came up with for the living room/kitchen:
I am so excited to be helping him out in this adventure. His own place. All grown up...
But I'm hoping he'll still call his mother ;)
