Name: Emily CoursenLocation: Venice, CaliforniaType of home: Apartment/bungalowSize: 400 square feetYears lived in: 3 months, renting Tell us a little (or a lot) about your home and the people who live there: When I found this cozy bungalow right on Venice Beach a few months ago, I couldn’t resist its beachy charm and of course the location, about 100 steps from the famous Venice Beach. I live alone, and was super excited to decorate my own home based on my personality and style.
