DTLA LIFE MAG #5 | MAY 2014 | Page 4

FROM ! THE EDITOR Spring is in the air but the L.A. weather is giving us a preview of sum- mer and absolutely the best time in Los Angeles. Downtown L.A. is blooming with new hot spots and the rooftop pools are open and filling up for our enjoyment. The best part of a city center is finding unique and chic outdoor spaces. Parks, terraces, rooftops, and outdoor activ- ities are even more popular in DTLA because of their unique views and our great weather. In real estate outdoor patios are a rare find and loft dwellers are always searching for great spaces especially during spring time, so, let’s get ready for summer! The great outdoors are in bloom and why not think about expanding your living and entertaining space. A great idea for indoor / outdoor living is to decorate with potted plants, interesting lighting and comfortable furniture. Think about the use of color with rugs, wall coverings, art and define each area lending an air of the exotic. Mixing and matching bright colors and shiny ob- jects that reflect the sunlight can also bring out the best of your interior spaces. So get used to L.A. Living and start thinking outdoors. Read through this month's issue of DTLA LIFE Magazine for more ideas, projects and lofts that suit the L.A. Life style. !
