All I want for Christmas...

is a fabulous loft/retail space, located in Chinatown, listed for a cool $3.285 million. Somehow, I don't think it will fit into my budget.

See the entire slideshow here. Seriously - the gorgeous rounded doorway, the hardwood floors, the roof deck that overlooks my beloved downtown LA? Not to mention all the colors and the perfect location (Chinatown is home to Spring Street Smokehouse, which you should visit, if you care about ribs at all). I would use one of the retail spaces downstairs to open up my fantasy boutique, and one of the others to open up the bakery of my dreams. So it's an investment, really. Right?

Listing found via the ever informative Curbed LA.

  2. That rounded doorway may be the coolest thing I have ever seen. After following your recipe endeavors, I fully support your opening of a bakery, budgets be damned :)
