Stuffy Studio to Shabby Chic

Right now, I am living in a dark stuffy little studio. When you open the windows it smells like shit, wet dog, and dirty air. The reason being half of my apartment building owns dogs and walk them in the alley where all my windows are located. The other reason is, I live in Downtown LA, more specific a block away from skid row. Don't get me wrong, it's safe, there is just a lot of homeless/crazy people walking around. Do I tell my mom I live the next street over from skid row, one of the most run down neighborhoods in Los Angeles, NO! There a lot of cute cafe's around here that I walk to, and a lot of fashion show rooms, but this has never been my first choice in living somewhere in LA. It sort of happened last minute, and is only for 6 short months. The one amazing part of the dark stuffy little studio is the roof. There is a pool, and lounge chairs. It is far up enough you can't hear all of the downtown traffic, and if you close your eyes, it almost seems like you are the beach. That would probably be my first choice in living somewhere, the beach.

I canNOT wait until December 1st hits, the day we can move out of this dark stuffy little studio. Until then I search on craigslist for apartments, and look at pictures of amazingly decorated rooms. I think I have a thing for interior design, or decorating. I can't wait to decorate my own house one day. I really love and think my house will have a lot of old antique pieces mixed with newer pieces. If you have heard of the book Shabby Chic Interiors, by Rachel Ashwell, I want my house to look like a lot of her book. Anyways here are some pictures that I LOVE.







 

I want a room like that, where I can design clothes, write, listen to music, and anything else I wanted.
