diny's Profile

I hate sounding snotty, but as a native Angeleno, I gotta get it out of my system! The Eastside is correctly located east of the Los Angeles river...a great, wonderful and varied place in it's own right. Think Mariachi Plaza and all the Chinese eateries on Valley Blvd. Yum!
Los Feliz, Silverlake, and Echo Park are west of the river and downtown. Also, I heartily agree about the usabilitiy of mass transit here. I am the rare specimen that does not, nor have I ever, owned a car. Buses and subway everywhere, including from Los Feliz, where I live, to the San Fernando Valley, where I work.

I live in a 620 square foot one bedroom apartment with my teenage son in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles. He loves it! An enormous park (Griffith) is just steps away, and we are within walking distance of lots of other great venues and public transit. We both tend to be out and about so much during the day, reporting back home in the evening, that the small size of our living arrangements isn't much of an issue.

I just love tours that showcase the beautiful use of smaller spaces. This place is a great example of how multiple occupants can enjoy a shared space that is gracious and welcoming.

Oh, cute as a button! (Jeff, Tuna and apartment!)

Wow, I think this space is really fresh and lovely....does that confirm my membership in the "Granny" demographic? :)

I really believe I could be very, very happy here, even if I were considerably younger.

Of all the tours I've seen on AT, this is home I would choose for myself if I could. Just exquisite in every way....I am green with envy! Congratulations on creating such a lovely, lovely home, Claudia!

Ahh...I've been lusting after that pink-silk-with fringe sofa featured on Downton Abbey!

Ahhh! Thanks Elizabeth ll and Designade for pointing out what I missed. That makes sense as a great solution to stashing the stuff!

Michelle and Howard, you ought to consider entering this in next year's "Small Cool Contest." I would sure give your sweet home a vote for such clever and charmng use of space.

So much I love here, especially the purple sofas. But...where is the kitchen floor tile that Jennifer went to such trouble to install? Did I miss it?
