House Tour — 6039 Waterman(英文)

此内容暂无简体中文译文,以下为英文原文。

This 2-family flat reflects the cosmopolitan, travel oriented life style of its owners, Fritz and Larry Laba. A native of France,

Mrs. Laba now uses and teaches her language at the Wilson School. Larry Laba works with a printing company. Both have devoted extensive time and energy this past year to preserving and decorating their second floor home. They offer the first floor apartment for rent, a common, economically sound practice in this neighborhood which has many 2-family flats.

Mrs. Laba brought much of her furniture from France. She has used it primarily in the dining room and second bedroom. A Moroccan tapestry hangs in another bedroom.

The Labas stripped all the woodwork in the dining room, including the ceiling beams, and have finished the wood in a handsome dark tone. The stucco-textured walls in the dining room are also their handiwork. The living room is warm and comfortable highlighted by the fireplace. Mrs. Laba has covered the walls with a contemporary print fabric which compliments the design and colors of the oriental rug.

The space, warmth and charm of the Laba home provide a luxurious alternative to modern two bedroom apartments.
