I was ready to be mad about it but I love the combos!

I tend to agree with the author that Los Feliz/Echo Park/Silverlake are the East Side and east of the LA River is just East LA.

I live in the Arts District now and am totally obsessed with it, but I lived in Koreatown before that and Mar Vista before that. I am not a fan of the West Side generally, but I would recommend it for families, retirees, and people who love the beach. Even when I lived there I rarely went to the beach.

Koreatown is amazing. It's extremely affordable, has some really great buildings from the 30s, and you can catch the Metro and be downtown in 7 minutes. Plus great food and nightlife if you're adventurous and are willing to find the gems, and if not, like I said, you're 7 minutes from 7th and Fig.

Now that I live downtown, I rarely get in my car - mostly I walk - even to work. I also take the Dash, or the Metro sometimes if I have somewhere far to go. But why? There are so many bars, restaurants, and awesome things to do less than a mile from my place. Totally spoiled. Le sigh. Love LA.

Vintagehoney - is it s VINTAGE paint by number? Because....some of us collect those. :)

I think Plasticland has a knockoff of that pitcher. And I must admit I think all this "OMG SO MUCH LOVE IN OUR HOUSE" thing is cheesy.

I actually really liked the patina on the before, but I imagine that welding it together probably messed it up.

Where's the "affordable" option? :)

Yes, yes, no, yes, yes.

I love this idea! I have a midcentury surfboard coffee table that has been threatening to fall apart. Maybe once it finally does I will not replace it at all and instead get a set of side tables.

Before: Hate.
After: Love.

I would go with a blue or green. Almost anything goes with chocolate brown. And for that couch, again, choose a few complementary colors in different patterns and shapes and get a ton of throw pillows, like 8 would fit on that couch.
