Industrial Lofts tend to have high ceilings making room for a separate loft space
Lofts in DTLA are converted industrial buildings like the GE Building in Little Tokyo for example, which have been converted into apartments from Penthouse lofts to studios. The term loft started to be used to describe open-concept spaces, where the entire layout of the living space was incorporated into one large room, resulting in a market trend you’ll some purpose-built loft-style condos that mimic the open concept style of the industrial lofts without the high ceilings.
Lofts are covetable which is a big part of their appeal, from the high ceilings to the spacious layouts. But the features that make them great also pose a few challenges, like creating privacy, ensuring visual flow, and decorating it so it doesn’t feel like you’re holed up in a stark warehouse. Of course, if you love stark industrial living spaces we know where to look for that kind of loft too.
People are eagerly looking for more flexible and open spaces, Lofts owners can take advantage of the high ceiling to actually add a loft, or simply by arranging furniture create the flexible living space they desire. It is really the art of living in a single room.

Here are a few ideas on how to optimize your loft or studio living space. Open shelves in the kitchen can make the wall a feature and reduce the bulk of traditional upper kitchen cabinets. Keep your color scheme neutral from one area to the next. This helps the whole space hang together. Attach your lighting elements to the walls and ceilings to free up floor space. Create a clutter collection station. When you have everything on show it is a great help to have a place to drop things off for sorting later.

The month of October can be a spooky month, maybe even a scary month with monstrous problems. Yikes!! Well maybe not, but words like that seem to be popping up everywhere as kids and adults alike look forward to Halloween.
In fact, according to USA Today, adults spend more on themselves to celebrate Halloween than any other day during the year. I get that. Especially if they want to hang out with the kids to go trick or treating, or to a Halloween party of some kind.
Many homeowners and homebuyers though are truly scared. Scared to death of how in the world they are going to get out of their house and into their next one (the trick).
My Treat: As a result of working with hundreds of families over the years, we have developed a special program to help home sellers and homebuyers. We will guarantee the sale of their present home at a price agreeable to them, and in the unlikely event their home does not sell, we’ll buy it. Now that is how you turn a trick into a real treat.

Why I support Childrenʼs Hospital, Los Angeles
Corey Chambers Serving the community with your help.
I grew up right here in the Greater Los Angeles Area, born in Los Angeles County at St. Francis Hospital. I remember when I first heard about a young person close to our family suffering from a nasty disease and getting treated for that at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. It was then that I began to pay closer attention to the work they do at that hospital. Since then, I have learned that it is a collection of hard-working health care professionals, most making their home right here in the Los Angeles area, all coming together for a common cause. That cause is to help young people overcome unfortunate health issues that life sometimes throws our way. Being a Los Angeles Area California native, I take pride in supporting in a way that I can do the good work these people do at Children’s. My team rallies around our annual goal of raising money and donating portions of our income to help Children’s in their quest to heal young people when they need healing. My team and I are committed to providing outstanding results for buyers and sellers referred to us by our past clients. I have discovered that Children’s Hospital Los Angeles shares a similar commitment to their patients. And since their services survive on sponsorships and donations, we are happy to contribute and proud to support them. Sincerely,
Corey Chambers

Orthopaedic experts at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles use enhanced growing rods to correct one patient’s severe scoliosis. By Eunice Oh
“Why am I so tall!” exclaimed Cai. “I can see out the window!”
His grandmother, Tracey, had just placed him in the car, and she couldn’t help but laugh. Two weeks earlier at the Children’s Orthopaedic Center, Cai had undergone scoliosis surgery, a procedure that straightened his spine and added 2 3/4 inches of height. For the first time in his life, Cai was able to sit upright.
Each year in the United States, approximately 100,000 children are diagnosed with scoliosis. Cai had a rare form of the condition called early-onset scoliosis, characterized by a complex curvature of the spine. Less than 20 degrees is considered a mild curve, and a moderate one is typically between 25 and 40 degrees.
“In Cai’s case, the curve was 85 degrees,” says Lindsay Andras, MD, Associate Chief of the Children’s Orthopaedic Center and Director of the Spine Program, who has been treating Cai since he was an infant. “There was a significant amount of progression, so we didn’t want to wait any longer for surgery.”
An improved treatment option
Cai had been wearing a brace since he was 3 years old, but with scoliosis rapidly worsening, Dr. Andras told Tracey that surgery was imminent. Left untreated for much longer, the curve could cause Cai’s rib cage to press against his lungs and heart, making it harder for him to breathe. So, a few weeks before his sixth birthday, Cai was wheeled into the operating room at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. During the nearly six-hour procedure, Dr. Andras implanted magnetically controlled growing rods anchored to Cai’s spine. The Children’s Orthopaedic Center was one of the first programs in the country to offer these enhanced rods, which, unlike traditional growing rods that must be surgically adjusted in the operating room as a child grows, do not require additional surgeries and are instead lengthened through external remote control.
Back in the waiting area, Tracey had been staring at the clock, eagerly awaiting news about Cai. She knew the procedure was necessary—and that her grandson was in good hands—but couldn’t quite shake off the nerves. Then, Dr. Andras walked in.
“Seeing her face put me at ease immediately,” she recalls. “She was just so happy and said everything was successful. It brings me to tears just thinking about this—happy tears.”
Cai learned how to walk again with the help of physical therapy, and his swift recovery caught his grandmother by surprise.
“He had been home for maybe three days when he came down the stairs by himself,” Tracey recalls. “I did not expect that at all. That almost scared me to death!”
Grateful for Cai’s care
These days, Cai, now 9, can regularly be found zipping around the neighborhood on
his bike or scooter. He returns to the Children’s Orthopaedic Center every three months to have his rods extended magnetically, a non-invasive outpatient procedure that takes less than five minutes. He underwent another surgery in 2020 to replace the initial rods with longer ones, which will allow him to get as much height as possible over the next few years before
having a final spinal fusion. For now, though, Cai is enjoying simply being a kid.
“These rods have been wonderful for him. They don’t hinder him from doing anything and he doesn’t think even twice about them,” says Tracey. “I just marvel at what Dr.
Andras is able to do and that this procedure is available.”
“Children’s Hospital means everything to me,” she adds, “and I will always be grateful that it’s there.”
