Get yourself to the Getty
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Happy Homemakers, Random Musings
We’ve officially checked something off our Sand Bucket List. Matt’s Mom and Dad came to visit us and since the weather wasn’t quite beach bum perfect we decided to go to the Getty Center. By the way, The Getty Center is FREE to visit. Impressive huh? It thrilled us penny pinchers to no end.

We’ve been pulling all sorts of Macgyver moves here trying to find storage for all of our stuff. We’ve already pared down, thrown out and streamlined all of our belongings and we’re still scraping by for storage.

Just Beachy
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Random Musings
I’ve been finding some serious beach inspired decorating tips/blogs lately. I’m loving all of the white washed furniture, slipcovers and seashells.
I just had to share:
A Beach Cottage-look at her great living room!
The Lettered Cottage (you all probably know about Layla but I couldn’t pass her up!
