Da Nang... Da Hood

On November 1, 2010, Piotr and I moved out of the TPQ Hotel, over the Han Bridge, pass the Golden Sea Hotel to the first round about, turn left, then right on Morrison, right again on the no name street, and into our own place!  

We have a prime time location!  You're Time, Our Time, Prime Time!  We live only 3 minutes walk from the ocean, 3 minute moto ride to the river, 5 minute moto ride to work and 20 minute ride from the mountains!  It's all about location.  Location! Location! Location!

The house is two stories, with a bedroom and bathroom on each floor, a decent size kitchen and a spacious living room that opens to the second story loft, which will soon become the office. 




I can't wait to play Design on a Dong with this place! Personally,  I think the best feature of the house are the very Vietnamese mint green tiles.  The color reminds me of a hospital... hmmm...maybe a big red cross picture would make a nice ornament for the wall?

I'm also thinking about painting a couple of the walls.  Inspired by Carol Kang and Division Ave, I'm thinking of going with a deep teal on the walls and using rusty oranges, golden delicious yellows and wood tones to accent. 

Stay tuned as Design on a Dong in Da Nang turns this simple two story home into a stylish, modern, seaside escape!

  1. Hi Angie,

    My name is Eric and I've accepted a job at Fisher's for the upcoming school year. I'm looking 4 advice and would love to chat. I was really suprised to see the school has 1,000 students. I got the picture it had more like 100. If you don't mind... your apartment is quite beautiful. I wonder how much rent might be for a place like that. I also wanted to know about travel. Do I need to get a Vietnamese license to drive a scooter? I'm at verygoodenglish@gmail.com Thanks! -Eric S.
