As of mid-September, Westwood will be my new place of residence until Dec/Jan. I will be renting a little studio in the back of the house. Unfortunately, it isn't nearly as nice as the main house but I am very glad to be living in a family home in a nice neighborhood within walking distance of campus.
Thurston Avenue affords a lovely view of the new Getty Museum. Hey Whit, remember when we went together? That seems like so long ago. We'll have to get over to the Getty Villa in Malibu at some point because that's where I plan to be interning next Summer!
I spent Saturday afternoon in Westwood, remembering and thinking about what it would be like to be there again. I had lunch at my favorite little eatery (think Fresco with a smaller, more adventurous menu and unfortunately/fortunately, no cupcakes) called Damon & Pythias. Then I popped over to this lovely little coffee shop. I sat in the courtyard with a cafe au lait and my summer read, Beowulf on the Beach: What to Love and What to Skip in Literature's 50 Greatest Hits. I sat there, with the afternoon sun on my face, and thought, So this is my new life in Westwood...
In a country house, there are always lots of shoes...I love it when they just lay in rows without apology. It means that there are lots of family and friends around, running in and out of the house, casual enough to not have to hide them in the closet, kept well so that dirt isn't tracked everywhere :) I love TKR!

The Kelt Ranch has been steadily evolving and the time has come for furnishings. Marietta found inspiration from Desire to Inspire:
Marietta opted to have a table made rather than shelling out $6000 for this late 1800s Farmhouse table from Bountiful...
Now there is the question of the wicker chairs. Rooms and Gardens has these:
But I like the open legwork of this one from Ballard Designs:
In addition to the table and chairs, other projects in the works are finding the right antique hanging shelf for the kitchen, a console for the loft, twin beds, rugs, etc. Here are some snippets:
