Booze Cruise

I have a confession, I‘ve been holding our on you dear readers. You all know that I’ve been trolling around looking for the perfect bar cart. A couple of months ago my Dad called and said he found one on Craig’s List and bought it for me (yay Dad!). Side note-I have turned my Dad [...]

Ork if you love LA
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Random Musings, Steals and Deals
Matt is big in to maps. Loves them. When I asked if he wanted anything from the flea market he requested a globe. He could spend hours on Google Earth. Just for fun. It’s not my idea of a good time but different strokes for different folks I guess! Knowing that my main man loves [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Floating Space
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Before & After, Decorating
In the theme of getting the office put together we tackled another project this week. Installing floating shelves. I’ve had my eye on a pair from IKEA. The $20 Lack Shelves. I must be a trend setter because those babies were sold out everywhere. I even called the warehouse and they tried to ship me [...]

Pretty your Potty
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Before & After, Decorating
Our apartment bathroom is pretty standard. White walls, white tub and tiles and of course the builder issue sink and vanity. I really wanted to freshen this space up but I had to get a little creative since we can’t paint, remove fixtures or hardware or really change the room structurally. So here’s what began [...]

Three’s Company
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Decorating
Well, at least we’re ready for company now! Our new guest bed has been delivered (a Serta Toledo if you must know) and now we actually have some semblance of a office/spare room. Here’s where we started…
Here’s what it looks like now! If you really want to see the room in action, check [...]

Clean it up
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Decorating
We’re lucky enough to have a private patio right off our living room at our apartment. There is a privacy fence around it so it sort of feels like a bonus room.
We had to do some serious cleaning before we could do anything fun with it. So I swept and dusted and then was [...]

Frame Up
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Decorating
We have been busy little bees here putting up all of our pictures. It’s surprising what a difference a few photos will do to make a room feel homier (that’s a word. I just made it up). Here’s what we had…
and now:
We will be swapping out the wedding photos shortly. Although, [...]
