I recommend people purchase the GE or Sylvania made CFLs if they've had bad experiences with the lighting quality. Make sure the bulbs are designated as soft whites. People often make the mistake o...

There are plenty of drought tolerant native and non-native species that could be planted without endangering the water supply. And to correct the misnomer, Los Angeles is not a desert, it is a coas...

Looks like someone didn't really read the quote [looking above]. Rude and stupid, seriously .

Great post and lovely interiors. My only criticism is that some of the screens have been placed too high for proper viewing levels.

So glad other people in the world have a sense of humor and aren't so prudish.

BB: White is actually the combination of all the colors of the visible light spectrum, while black is absence of color being reflected. "Scientifically, a black object absorbs all the ...

I totally agree with Palmetto's view of LA: community is what you make of it. I've lived all throughout Los Angeles, and I've made efforts to get to know my neighbors, wave hello at people and busi...

If he just used zip ties and velcros, you'd still see a visible line of cords against the back of his credenza (which is strange, because there seems to be a stripper's pole in the middle of it).

A very comfortable, welcoming and eclectic home. Thanks for sharing!

The photos look like they were taken using a camera phone or lower end digital camera, with all the noise evident. It's a shame such an interesting interior suffers from a case of poor photos bein...

There's also the Los Angeles Little Tokyo Kinokuniya Bookstore (123 Astronaut Ellison S. Onizuka Street, Suite 205, Los Angeles, CA 90012, right by spicy favorite, Orachan Ramen). Welc...

Nick, thank you for sharing such a beautiful photo. Reminds us how fortunate us Angelenos are to have the Pacific Ocean :)

Holy smokes, this early marketing is getting way out of hand.

Duncan- It's no use. Boomer seems to be completely committed to spending an inordinate amount of time criticizing, critiquing and basically "raining on people's parades" because it seems to be his ...

I love these time capsules preserved of Los Angeles history!

patrick: noted, and technically you're correct. But what I should have clearly stated is the catalog tends to be filled with current designs that are expected to become "classics", alongside histor...

Hahaha, especially considering MOMA doesn't really specialize in cutting edge, but mostly modernist classics. But come on, why isn't there coverage about Serbian style foot stool desig...
