I love your style and the layout of your place. If I lived in a studio loft, I would want it to be just like this!!!

Are those Pablo Neruda poetry/quotes (bathroom graffiti)?

I couldn't find anything that matched the name using a search (other than Anthropologie website) but I found these LA based stores which have awesome designs (they carry a few other designs that Anthropologie also carries). Hopefully you can find something similar/matching :)

Apartment Therapy keeps me sane and inspired! Thank you :)

LOVE this home and the style!!! Gena is one lucky little girl. I would have loved to have that little nook to play when I was little.

What a great idea, thank you! Our baseboards were chewed up while our puppy was teething, so I don't think crate training is going to do anything to help that. After the damage was done, we made sure to give him plenty of safe chew toys and natural hide while we're gone for him to be distracted enough to ignore those tasty floorboards.

MLaura- Exactly my sentiments. I am relieved to hear another person voice this because San Diegans get SO offended when I tell them there are much better places to live. I have been here over 3 years too and have been trying to love it since. We were originally by the beach in North County but had to get out because it was too suburbia for us. We have been in the Gaslamp/Marina district for a year, and it has been better than the burbs. However, having lived in 8 countries, this is just not the place for me. I can go on and on about all the things that are wrong with this place and the people here but I will not do that on this blog b/c I love it :)

There are a lot of great pieces but they can't stand out unless we went ahead and deleted some of the random objects out of the picture. Also, the lamps on the nightstands look like avatar people....

I'm finding it strange that people of my generation (25-30) are having a hard time transitioning into attending sit-down dinner parties hosted by people of the same age. Speaking from my experience so far these are simple no brainer things I offer:
- Be punctual or call if you are going to be late.
- Take off your shoes when you enter someone's home and you are either offered slippers or see that everyone else has their shoes off
- Don't bring an opened, half drank bottle of wine from the night before
- Don't bring a cocktail mix from an event of the night before.
- Don't offer to put away dishes, you'll put them in the wrong place and the hostess will have to go back and reorganize everything. Do help clear off the table before dessert.
- Don't try to open a bottle of wine that someone else brought as a gift for the hostess.
- Don't keep asking when the main course is going to come out when the hostess is running around the kitchen like a headless chicken.
- Don't feed the dog human food unless you are given permission.

It's all just common sense....
