it's in an charming 1920's building in hollywood, that i think i will lovingly refer to it at "the devonshire" from now on. the building manager is and adorable charles bukowski-esque man who i spent an hour sitting and chatting with about his life, the neighborhood, and old hollywood. it has everything i was looking for- vintage details (like a tiny closet that connects to the hall that they used for milk delivery), hardwood floors, lots of space, a full kitchen, an outdoor patio for reading, a roof for sunbathing/barbecuing, close to public transit, and in an area i can walk around in and not be constantly looking over my shoulder.
i am so excited to start filling the space! it's going to take me a while to get it just how i want. paint? wallpaper? FURNITURE? my head is swimming with ideas.
not having to share fridge space with anyone is a completely foreign concept to me. cooking dinners and ENTERTAINING? ahh so exciting!
i spent my first "night" in the apartment with mike and wine, listening to a collection of left records we raided from the basement.
so happy to finally have a space to create a home i am proud to call my own. here's to me and my fur baby and our new apartment!
I love it! That's exactly what I would look for in an apartment. Congrats. :]
