IVINS, Washington County — Stepping into Alex Peterson's cozy apartment from the concrete jungle of the university's on-campus exterior housing is like stepping into another world.
Walls are lined with plants and art. To the right of the entrance sits a colorful room filled with magic. And it's quite the sight to take in.
As your eyes scan the walls, you find yourself pausing at the "Crying But Trying" teardrop sticker, then a "Hugs + Hisses" cat design. The "Sandstone & Sunshine" sticker stops you in your tracks and you smile as you pick it up.
"This is the cleanest my studio has ever been," Peterson said, laughing. "This is how I want it to look every day. And it will never look like this ever again."
