And I found the slide display strip at a really cool design gift shop on Green Street in Pasadena called Sfritzi or something like that. Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| LA House Tour: Glen's Living Large In a Small Space#comments Flag this comment	4/16/08 7:45 AM
The countertop is a standard kind of laminate, Formica I think. The cabinetry in the bathroom is custom. The doors are VG fir. I'm not sure but Taylor Bros on Riverside Dr: http://www.taybros.com/ might be where they came from. The combination of the wood with aluminum surrounds is good. The pebbles for the bathroom floor have not been hard for me to keep clean, but you can imagine that they would be bad news in a high-traffic situation. There is nothing better than putting bare feet down on them after a shower in the summer. I have seen similar pebble-shaped tiles used in a shower basin where you would have daily wetness and prefer something easier to scrub. These are real stones and are sealed, but seem a little too porous for a shower basin.

The kitchen light fixture has been with me for 20 years and is kind of beat up. It is an Arne Jacobson design. The fridge is enclosed in the cabnetry on the far left. It is small, but works out for one or two people. The kitchen and living and dining all mashed up is good sometimes and bad other times. At a dinner party it is great, everybody is together for the cooking. But the room gets hot and we eat in the company of the dirty dishes as we eat. Also the next day: dirty dishes in the living room. All in all it works pretty well. Loft-like. I also benefit from the courtyard, it is like an additional room in the warm months. Peace!

This manhole cover was not grabbed from the street! It is irregular and never served on our streets. I got it at Handy Metal Mart http://www.handymetalmart.com They sell all kinds of metal by the pound. It is a wonderful resource for weird stuff. Also: you are right the rust is a problem. Peace!
