Home Tour: Dabito's Downtown L.A. Loft

This downtown loft belongs to Dabito from Old Brand New, a cracking blog I stumbled upon just before 2010 was out. I've since been hooked on Dab's great eye for style and addiction to thrifting, which, incidentally, has rubbed off and resulted in several purchases from his etsy store. Anyhow, back to his apartment: isn't it rather special? Deliciously masculine yet suitably attainable and accessible in it's style. The light and breezy open plan kitchen-living space is refreshingly modern, with it's brick wall preventing the look from being too stark. Whimsical additions live in small nooks, adding charm and personality to the loft, whilst piles of books in the living area create a relaxed and informal atmosphere. There sure is plenty to inspire here, shall we take a look around?

10 Things I Learned & Loved Over The Holidays

 1. One of the first shots taken on my new PEN camera.

2. Looking through old photos with your family is really fun; here I am one Christmas morning many moons ago!

3. Parcels containing homemade jam and hand sewn fabric bags are delightful. Thank you, Susan and William.

4. Polka dot gold film makes a perfect wrap for Rocky Road bars.

5. My first vintage purchase of 2011!

6. I spent most of December eying this little fellow, so I couldn't resist when I saw him in the sale.

7. Likewise, the Bell Garland from The White Company slipped into my shopper!

8. A dash of prep for my wrist.

9. A throw for less than £10? Bargain, I say.

10. I'm excited to read this book.

Happy New Year!
