These days our culture seems to be inundated with all kinds of non-surgical cosmetic procedures. Thanks to the Kardashians and other celebrities, these kinds of procedures have become, somewhat, dare I say- normal?

Lately, I have been into the thrill of the thrift shopping second-hand items at an incredible price. It’s like a search for hidden treasures. I’m lucky to live in a city with some great thrift stores. Today’s post is dedicated to the best thrift stores in San Pedro…
Today is the day I finally share my dining room reveal! Now, I have given you peeks inside my house here and there on Instagram (Follow the hashtag #LauraLilyHome for behind the scenes.) My first room reveal was the patio back in May and I had to wait a bit to finish a few other projects like this DIY hutch in the dining room I transformed with some paint and wallpaper.
