By
Real Estate Agent with Douglas Elliman BRE 02000585

Before school starts next month why not sneak in a quick staycation?

 

Here's a great list from '14 LA Weekly that will have everyone smiling!

Thinking about a kid's room makeover?  Look what Ikea offers at great prices!

And remember, if you're feeling a little crammed for space I have great options for a little more room in your neighborhood!  Please text, email or call me! :)

Thanks for both links. I go to IKEA for good European food and affordable furniture.  As for the places to go. Disney, Magic Mtn, Universal etc are too pricey to take the entire family.  They look pretty decent.
