BLACKBURN AND SWEETZER

Thanks, Apartment Therapy for featuring this modern cat condo, which is truly awesome—small one is $119, big one is $199 at moderncatdesigns.com. First, Newm and Grizz would love this thing, especially the tall one since Newm is all about being high and Grizz is all about being low; second, it’s so attractive. Two paws up.

File this under, just throw it away. Do these folks on Sweetzer think the garbage man is going to pick this up? Or are they thinking that someone will scoop it up and install it? Some things you just have to do the dirty work and dispose of, people.

Came across this note on Fairfax at an apartment building. For some reason I just picture this elderly guy tending to his roses. Poor guy, hopefully, people will lay off his blooms.

I’m not a fan of the red rock with trash bags sticking out look at the Orlando Pueblo (Blackburn and Orlando), though I appreciate the fact that the owner of the condo complex goes with the desert-y climate they’re afforded rather than wasting water. The orange wild flowers currently in bloom are a huge improvement […]

If I did buy a duplex, I might just get this cork ottoman ($299) from West Elm, and I’m not even a huge West Elm fan…

This seems like an odd match - Kitson doing bedding for Bed, Bath & Beyond (specifically the one at 11854 West Olympic Boulevard), but I guess it shouldn’t be so surprising that the hyper-trendy boutique would want to go super mass market and bedding is a pretty under-the-radar way to do it.

First of all, I love the way this cat is clearly so content. Sleek architectural design, and very functional for some serious scratching. The best part is that the Sweet Lounge is only $159 (designpublic.com), which may seem a bit much for cat furniture, but I’d love to have this in my place regardless.

I sat on this Primary Pouf table/stool at DWR the other day ($330, dwr.com) and was totally surprised at how soft yet firm it is. The foam top allows enough give for ample comfort, but is sturdy enough to place a cup or plate on with no prob. It holds up to 300 pounds which […]

Hadn’t noticed this before on Beverly Boulevard, C Geller Pillows and Etc - not sure what kind of pillow-related etc they sell but they certainly have the pillows covered…

Well, I’m psyched to have the sidewalk back on the west side of the street on Sweetzer, just north of 3rd, but can’t say I’m so impressed with the new apartments which line the street. The stats are below - 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, plus a whole lot of touting going on. It’s elegant! […]
