How I Bought a Modern Bungalow on a Writer’s Budget

Christina’s Loft With a Hint of “Rococo Glam”
Name: Christina Location: Mid City Arts District — Santa Monica, California My home is a light-filled and well-proportioned 550 square foot loft-style condominium in the Mid-City (Arts District) area of Santa Monica, California.
