Apartment Upgrade

I love these new items from Urban Outfitters! 

I've been eyeing a black piped clothing rack for awhile, and this one is the perfect fit! At first I wanted to build one - you know DIY style and get materials from Home Depot - but then I realized it was quite complicated and decided to get one already measured out! Love the copper details and the shelving.. I also added this rug to the front, to make the loft a little homier.

I used this entertainment console as a workspace shelf. It fits perfectly under my big windows, and keeps all my papers very neat and hidden. 

Lastly I got these soft and cozy grey linens to light up the bedroom. I matched it with these blue tone posters.

Disney Concert Hall

A few weeks ago, my mom and I took a tour of the Disney Concert Hall in Downtown LA. I've only been to the outside, and didn't know how beautiful it was on the inside! The tour guide told us that the original idea of the building was to have brick walls (NYC style). But because of the war, they had to scrap the idea and wait until it was over to start construction again... By that time, Frank Gehry (the architect) decided against the original draft (so glad he did) and built this magnificent structure! I highly recommend seeing it if you're into architecture. Plus the tours are all free!
