Even if you found some vintage inspired places or industrial inspired places.. there’s gotta be more than just mid century modern. And why did we only see her bedroom?

If you’re not from the area and don’t have time to wait for something that’s a good price, and you want to be in Culver City or Santa Monica, this is standard. There are other locations that are definitely cheaper though- LA is a really varied rental market.

    I don’t mind the space (I know some people are tired of the mid century look, but overall her space is cohesive), but my question is why are her floating shelves places so far up the wall? It looks like she can barely reach it when she’s discussing items on it. Otherwise, floating shelves are great to have.
    To keep things positive I also like her corgi (super cute) and how she got him a bed that matches her pillow so it still goes with the style, the balcony is nice to have (especially right now), and the shiplap on the wall (adds some nice character to the space.
    I’ve heard Culver City can be a nice place to live, but it is pricey. The amount she’s paying for a studio apartment sounds about right unfortunately.

    Oh wow, so is California really that expensive? In perspective, my mortgage for a one bedroom flat is £380/$500....

    Is this rented or owned? That is even more pricey than Central London.

      Refinery29 No down payment? I just edited the main question by adding “down payment” not realizing Refinery29 would promptly reply to my “monthly basis” question. You guys are fast! I am impressed.
