The Charlie

Having spent 4 months of my dot-com work-life living out of a so-so hotel on the Beverly Hills / West Hollywood border, I get very excited when I learn of an amazing new place to stay on the Left Coast. West Hollywood's The Charlie is getting loads of attention right now, and with good reason.  Check out the living space of the bungalow named, appropriately, Charlie...

I could be particularly partial because I've got the same Mitchell Gold sofa, but I think the kitchen spaces are what really won me over.

By the month ($7,500).

Swap-tastic

And now for something completely fabulous...

all of the wonderful things in my Kitchen Swap 2009 package from Robin. I'm completely overwhelmed by her talent and thoughtfulness! Really perfect... the colors are fantastic and everything is so practical & useful. I especially love my squirrel cosy -- can't believe she found the link on my blog and made it for me... so nice!

This was my first swap and I joined primarily because I love pulling things together for others, and didn't have many expectations about what I might receive in return. Thanks to Robin, I'm totally hooked!

Almost forgot -- here's what I sent Robin.  I think she liked it, which makes me happy too.
