Lamp Love
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Decorating
I hate to admit it but our living room sort of turns into a cave around 4:00 pm. Edward Cullen would be happy as a clam up in here.
We just don’t get much light in our garden unit apartment. Once the sun has moved away from our sliding glass door we are in the [...]

California Christmas Outdoor Edition
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Decorating
We’ve decked the halls at our little California Casa. For the first time in four years we haven’t frozen our tails off hanging up Christmas lights. That alone makes the decorating much more festive! Here’s what we came up for our patio décor. Faux garland, lights, starfish and sparkly snowflakes (oh my!):
Ooh! Look at the [...]

Found: The Perfect Table
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Decorating, Steals and Deals
So I’m sure you all were on the edge of your seats just dying to know what we hauled home from our latest Craig’s List conquest.
Well grab the smelling salts people, I snagged the deal of the century. I’ve been stalking Craig’s List for a new coffee table ever since I saw Laurel’s and [...]

Picture Perfect
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Decorating
I finally filled those empty frames in our guest room photo frame collage. We have friends coming to stay with us at the end of the month and I thought they might appreciate filled frames.
I picked a couple of pictures that I snapped from our recent trip to Santa Barbara. A quick trip to [...]

Junk in the Trunk
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Decorating, Steals and Deals
One of the many things we traded in for our move to the Wild Wild West was our beloved F150. It was black and shiny and made us feel oh so superior to those amateurs driving Priuses to Menards. Call us vain DIYers.
We knew moving to the land of high gas prices and tiny [...]

Framed
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Decorating
In an effort to clean up some of the clutter (of frames!) in our apartment I decided to finally tackle the white expanse that was our guest room. I seriously had a stack hiding out behind the door. The last time they toppled to the floor after shutting the door I gave in and decided [...]

Pillow Talk
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Decorating
After adding the color green into our living room I was on the hunt for cute throw pillows. I didn’t really want to spend a ton of money and hadn’t found the perfect fabric to whip some up myself. While at Walmart on the hunt for DMD I found some really cute, affordable pillows. Now [...]

Bring the Green
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Decorating
After much debate I finally swapped out our wedding pictures for the green prints I picked up for $10.
After switching them out and adding a new lamp shade I’m really liking the new set up. Luckily, we easily hung these pictures on the nails holding our old pictures. We only had to remove one [...]

Shady Business
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Decorating
This past weekend we were inspired to do something about our lighting situation in our living room. We don’t have any overhead lighting which is a bummer, so we rely heavily on our little side table lamp.
We were gifted this little Target lamp for our wedding. We still really like it but the shade [...]

Go or No?
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Decorating
We hung our 11×13 frames above our couch the first month we lived here. They held our wedding pictures but we soon anticipated swapping them out for a more living room friendly vibe and a little more color.
I recently received a comment saying they liked the photos above the couch. My Mom is [...]
