Serena Mitnik-Miller lives in Santa Cruz {above} and San Francisco {below}, fufilling my beach-house dream for today. It is totally dreary outside, and that makes me want to escape. To the ocean. Even if it is cold, there is something about the seaside that makes most weather tolerable.
Get your own beach house:
*pick up a bunch of free pallets
*nail the boards to you walls, and paint everything white
* collect dishes and cookware in watery/sunny shades
*cut your hair short
*use beat up partially-painted flooring scraps to make custom-depth shelves.{more on this later}
*grow plants in your kitchen
*enjoy the cold and cloudy mornings with coffee, as if they will burn off into a lovely summery day.
*leave your shoes at the door
Going back to bed, Alice
