“When the pandemic hit was, I realized that I needed more space when I wanted to work from home,” begins Charlotte Hohorst, VP of design in the communication company JBC PR. “If you have ever hunted on the west side of Los Angeles, you know that the selection is pretty slim unless you have a huge budget. I saw a dozen apartments felt that the boxes simply didn't check for space, good light and charm.”

But when Charlotte went to this two -story town house with two bedrooms in Los Angeles' Brentwood for the first time, she only had one thought: “Now we're talking!” Charlotte describes the rent as a “dreamy layout, walk -in neighborhood and astonishing light from large windows. It was old and quite outdated – but I had an empty canvas and a lot of time at home in my hands.”

Cozy living room with marine walls, two old yellow armchairs, a glass of a glass table and a staircase. — Charlotte is not 100% sure what is the oldest in her house, but she says that the “yellow velvet chairs in the living room” belonged to my great -grandparents. I never met her, but I love that you imagine that you buy these chairs and sit together and sit in them together. I love to think about having inherited my love for furniture from you. “Credit: Alex Scott Credit: Alex Scott

Charlotte has been in the room for five years and says that in the first few years it was only a question of how they from a serial-killer-like canvas to what I called as a colorful, euphoric uprising, from a serial-killer-poor screen to what I described as colorful, euphoric turmoil. Dragon wallpaper? 'And every time they answered, “hell yes”. “

A woman with a long dark hair smiles while sitting on a couch and wearing a white dress against a red flowers.

While Charlotte tried to make many tenant -friendly changes, “she decided that I did not decide that I would not get the deposit back and let go with ruthless dedication. The real challenge for me was the budget!” It admits. “If I had an unlimited budget, I would have been much crazier. I think I would have covered every centimeter of every wall with art and replaced the refrigerator and the stove. Instead, I really banned the Facebook marketplace; I didn't buy the sale, the estate, the second -hand shop.
