Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my blog! My name is Samantha Oswald and I am a senior at St. Cloud State University. I am twenty-two years old and I love antiquing, day-trips, horror, rock- collecting, cats and spending time with family.

Weirdly enough my little sister introduced me to Victorian architecture and interior design. We often like to tour old Victorian homes and I love to take pictures for inspiration for my apartment and future home. I love how much character is in these areas and I love maximalism too (which is a defining character of these times!). It makes me sad when I learn when old buildings aren’t taken care of or often times destroyed due to lack of respect. It’s like we are destroying history itself. I hope to inspire others to advocate for the caring of these buildings and to maybe one day resurrect this art form.
