I completely agree with modernguy - referring to West Hollywood as West LA is not accurate... but I loved the colorful, vintage style of this place.

Hmm. Free shipping, and yet, still $902 dollars. Wow.

As someone who lives in a loft myself, I think that this entry shows a good use of space. All lofts have their practical shortcomings - the lack of built-in storage and closets is a primary one. Hence the coat racks and the storage systems that are often placed against walls.

Furniture placement is always an interesting problem, especially in a loft that has an oddly shaped main space, as this one seems to have. It may be that the livingroom area "feels" cozier placed under the lower ceiling of the bedroom. It may not be the most photogenic setup, but perhaps it is better for real life.

The lack of clutter is quite impressive, and I love the exposed wood and the cool blue paint. I agree with the posters above, though, about the Blik bird decals. They have become overused and now approach the status of truly annoying.

Your loft has great bones, and you've added some fine touches. I'm sure it will only improve with time.

This makes me a little sad.

Hi Riza,
I have the Moda desk and like it very much. It's compact, but offers a lot of storage. And the pull-out keyboard shelf really increases the usable surface area. It's also well made.

You probably checked with Room and Board to see if they had any leftover stock - this was a desk that they kept in stock for immediate delivery. What about floor models? There have to be some of those lying around somewhere! Also, I seem to recall that the original vendor of the desk was a small company in New York... maybe you can get the contact info from R & B?

Anyway, I wish you all the best! Good luck!
