a mural in silverlake. so cute when you find poultry in love....you might think my first love is chanel...or maybe even the chloe paddington. but it is not. my first love is silverlake. always have been, and i have the inkling that it always will be.
i was not born here, but raised and lived roughly 25+ years here (i didn't count the years i moved away). suffice to say, i know this neighborhood in and out and have seen it change with the times. it wasn't always that cool or hip. it was just an average lower middle class neighborhood that saw its fair share of grafitti and police cars. oh my how silverlake has changed!! it's now the "cool" place to be for hipsters and visitors alike. for me, silverlake is just HOME. HOME SWEET HOME.
not too recently (roughly the end of july a bit after my birthday towards the beginning of august), i closed escrow on a house IN SILVERLAKE :) it's not as close to the resevoir as i would like, but then again, there was no effin' hell that i would have been able to buy one close to it. given that, i still found a home in silverlake. walkable to my parent's place as well as the resevoir. all is good is what i say. all is good :)
my wee house has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. my sis will be moving in with me. i have no real yard, but a ton of fruit trees. i loves it a lot. meet my house :)

in the midst of cleaning and trying to paint. TRYING is the operative word here.
i really apologize for not fessing up sooner. please believe me when i say that i was ABSOLUTELY OVERWHELMED. the last thing i wanted to do was to answer any questions and give updates. but now you know so we are still friends :)
