Yes. Just Yes.

I already own this credenza and if anyone in los angeles knows where the hell I can find a mirror like this for less than a small fortune, dear god, please tell me. It will make me happy. I will look at it and I will say: love.

Meet Georges

Georges is the swanky restaurant at the top of the Pompidou Center in Paris. The Pompidou is perhaps most famous for it's Renzo Piano designed exterior. Some people think it's genius and others think it's just plain ugly. Either way, take the escalators to the top and you have one of the best views of Paris and access to Georges (oh yeah and there's art there too, but we're not talking about that right now).


(Here's the exterior which actually looks pretty impressive at night)

Anywho, Georges was a redesign of the previous rooftop restaurant in 2000 by Dominique Jacob and Brendan McFarlane. It boasts contoured aluminum sheeting as a division between areas of the restaurant (kitchen, bathrooms, coatroom, etc.) the best feature is that they do nothing to block the views or the light.








If you really want to know what you're missing out on, check out the rooftop's webcam.
Here's a sneak peek:

Pacific Dining Car

I was invited out to a very nice dinner at the Pacific Dining Car on Whilshire (another location downtown) and was intrigued by the decor. Very formal and heavy but with beautiful rich fabrics. I wouldn't call it California, but then again maybe I would. Perhaps it's a Los Angeles older than I can remember. The decor is so thorough that I had the sensation that I could be anywhere, but certainly not on Wilshire.

I was exploring their website and found that they started in 1921 in a train car right when Los Angeles was beginning to boom. If you're interested in Los Angeles history (like I am) you can find a nice summary of the development of Los Angeles on their website.

Home is Rearranged

I did some rearranging this weekend and this is as far as I got. You can see how the living room used to look here. What do you think?
