local color deliberations


Up the street - a house, rather run-down, that sold a few months back, and that's been undergoing flipping-style Improvements ever since.  Probably some new paint will help it sell at a profit?  Should the garage door be off-white, with very dark blue-grey or black trim?  Or vice-versa?  Oh, decisions, decisions.  For a decade now, a monochrome palate has been de rigueur, both in Los Feliz and Silver Lake - to the extent that it becomes rather boring (says the person whose house is still obstinately in Tuscan ochre with green trim, because Mediterranean).  The best bit of this near-abstract composition, in any case, are those thin, subtle stripes of masking-tape orange.
