To my Loyal Loft Loving Friends and Clients,    

 

I stumbled on a video series in which a group of working artists discuss "fear of failure".  Specifically, I was engaged by the thoughts of Milton Glaser.  I have included the link to his video below:

 

Milton Glaser - on the fear of failure

 

Three of Milton Glaser's pieces are being offered at the Silent Art Auction Benefiting New Urban Arts on Thursday, September 8, 2011, in NYC.  If any of my friends or clients in that area are available to attend, please send me an email.  Here is a link announcing the event and offering tickets to attend:

 

Silent Art Auction Benefiting New Urban Arts

 

I have a loft for rent in Monohassett Mills for $1400 per month.  It is a first floor unit with huge barn doors opening into the parking lot.  There is a single walled bedroom, but the unit could be further divided by using temporary partitions.  It has AC, a skylight and a wood burning stove.  There is a brick patio and an area for a small vegetable or flower garden, as well as parking for two cars.  There is the desire to rent to an artist, but not an absolute requirement.  This unit is available on September 15th.  I will include some pictures below.

 

I've started the process of designing the new WeLoveLofts.com and LoveTheEastSide.com websites.  Picking photos to use as buttons and landing sites is difficult, as it never seems like I've gotten just the right ones. The photos above are some samples from ShutterStock that are in the running, but I'm still spending hours trying to get it right. I am also struggling with the navigation through the site, as these sites will represent my organization for the next couple of years.  I guess that I'll have to listen to Milton Glaser again and "Embrace the failure"

  

Please call me when you are ready to start looking for a Loft or other type of home.  It is a gift to be able to help clients find homes that they love.

Monohassett Mills Unit 100

This Unit is priced at $1400 per month.  This one has all of the attributes that every tenant that I speak to wants including:

  • two parking spaces
  • AC plus ceiling fan plus skylight with remote
  • Open floor plan
  • Exterior space (brick patio)
  • Garden area
  • Gas Stove for cooking and a wood burning stove for an alternative heat source
  • Harwood Floors, brick walls, oversized beams
  • walking distance to restaurants, bars and bakeries
  • immediate access to Rt 95N, Rt 95S, and Rt 10S

Note: this loft was photographed with the prior tenant's belongings still in place.  The unit is actually wide open and extremely spacious.  I am sacrificing some of the allure of new photos, in order to get the loft listed immediately.  I'm that sure that the next person that sees it will rent it.

 

Call me at 401-439-3634 if you want to schedule a visit - John
