I used to live in the apartment above this one, and recognized the layout, view and mantel instantly. Love what you did with the place. The molding had been removed in my place, though the harlequin pattern on the lower windows had been retained. I hope they're still there. Lucky you for living in such a nice space, and good luck!

Oh, that tub! I have always wanted to live in Amsterdam. Now I'm dying to live in Amsterdam.

Very impressive given the time and the budget, and since she came in so far under budget, she has plenty left over to buy her sister a sleep mask.

Charmant.

To all the posters here screaming for corner guards, how many of us survived childhood without them? And we all probably have a greater sense of aesthetics for it.

Lovely place, by the way.

Have lived in apartments all of my 50+ years, and this is especially a problem on the West Coast, where buildings tend to have no insulation. Civil communications and mindful consideration will go a long way towards keeping the peace, as will area rugs, carpeting and slippers. To those I would add using your "inside voice," since you are inside after all, and it helps to protect your own privacy. ( I know so much about my upstairs neighbor's personal life because he talks soooooo loud on the telephone.) Finally, whether you go barefoot or not, make sure to walk softly, and teach your kids to do so too. It will be much better for your neighbor, and in the long run, better for your feet too.

This looks great! I remember those amazing front door pulls as well and think Sebastian Cabot would be proud.

Have Peaches and Dixie met?

Hmm...I am applying for a job in Long Beach and suddenly moving there seems a bit less scary. This space and design truly gives Mid-century a good name, but those annoying ads on every page blocked the view, unfortunately. C'mon AT, give us a break!

Thank you violetjo for the research. How could AT miss this story? It's at least as interesting as the space.
