I recently moved to a funky and vibrant loft community located in an edgy and diverse neighborhood in SoCal. On a clear day (mostly, every day), we have gorgeous views of the mountains from the 3rd floor. We have also great views of the 5 freeway... we can even tell how traffic is before heading out of the door - ha! It's a great little community and we have our own monthly art walk in addition to the city's. I am selectively buying art from my neighbors/friends and other local artists. I also never ever forget where I come from (a very special place in South America) and display large b&w photographs that very strongly speak to me and represent my culture.

For paint, I would highly recommend the new BM Aura. We just used a gorgeous, deep silvery blue paint over a bright (and loud!) orange wall. The BM Aura is a bit on the pricey side but all it took was one easy and smooth coat.

Hi Michael,

I am an Interior Stylist and specialize in modern, mid century modern and contemporary residences.

My projects reflect an insane passion and interest in modern living and a desire to connect my clients to the beauty of our surrounding environment and the rich heritage of modernism in Southern California.

I strive for functionality and simplicity and emphasize clean lines, flow and openness. I don't charge markups and work with any budget. I work in both Orange and Los Angeles Counties.

For more information, a link to my website and current online portfolio, please feel free to get in touch with me at modernmecca@gmail.com

Good luck and best regards.

Hi kimg924,
I recently purchased 2 retro chairs with hairpin legs that will need reuholstering. I plan on using an awesome Maharam fabric that I already have. Is the upholstery shop you mentioned anywhere in LA/OC area by any chance?

Doesn't hurt to ask... : )

Hi AH - I haven't seen "Mad Men" yet, but from the photo both the the sofa and the chair resemble Milo Baughman's designs.

They could also very well be Jydsk Mobelvaerk (very similar in design) which were made in Denmark. I have the Jydsk Mobelvaerk sofa version in my office and really LOVE it. It's very mod looking, extremelly low to the ground, and incredibly comfy.

They are out there, but are becoming difficult to find and expensive to buy. I'd suggest to check vintage modern shops in your area on a regular basis and keep an eye on Ebay.
