It is time to say good-bye to our first LA home.
Well, Phil and I have decided that we would indeed like to be in a new place by September 1st. We are fed up with the idling busses behind our building, constant car alarms going off, noisy neighbors in the hall at 3am, neighbors that allow their dogs to urinate on the lobby floor, and of course, the "late night choppers" hovering the skies for God knows what reason. We did luck out though, I must say. We are on the edge of one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Los Angeles, (Hancock Park) and seeing that we don't have a car, we are walking distance to everything we need, grocery stores, public transportation, coffee shops, restaurants, cute stores etc. Not to mention we have a spectacular view of the Hollywood Hills (and the sign!) - what a wonderful reminder it has been of where we've gotten ourselves!
We've also hosted a whack of people in the past 18 months we've lived here. Lets count shall we? My friend Jessica from T.O., Christoph & Ashley, Mr. Nick Mishko, my father, my mother, Jake & his once-friend Luc, Annie, my mother-in-law Ms. McKnight, and soon to add to the list is famed photographer, Mr. Andrew Norton. We live in a studio folks. It will be nice to have a separate sleeping area for our guests rather then our sleeper couch next to our bed. But hey, we've had a blast. I'll keep you updated on our new home search, but for now, let's take a moment to reflect on our cute little LA spot...
*All paintings are done by Mr. and Mrs. McKnight! Contact me if interested. I focus on calligraphy of quotes and Phil does amazing portraits.
