Due to budget cuts, my summer employer is not housing me in the posh hotel with pool, spa, gym, free breakfast and big screen TV this year. Instead I have a studio apt a few blocks from the the theatre. Which has it’s own charm and some oddities.
The style is Poor Man’s California Arts and Crafts:
functional but a little funky.
The closet is behind this built in.
Because the Murphy bed has to slide under it.
Fortunately, I have been supplied with a real bed and don’t have to experience having to sleep in a small space under the stairs like Harry Potter.
The wonderful thing about the apartment is that it has a backyard.
With fruit trees, apricots, nectarines, peaches, and grapefruit. All of which are in season and very tasty.
and I have cable TV. Which I don’t have at home. Only, it seems I get something like 900 channels???? and by the time I figure out what’s on- I need to go to bed.
Funky indeed. But having your own fruit in your backyard – yummy. Nothing tastes as good as ripe fruit straight off the tree.
Funky and fruit? Fabulous!
Very funky, but the backyard seems to make it worth it. Enjoy the fruit and the tv!
What an adventure. I guess you have to take the bad with the good.
