While I was in LA this week I stayed a night with the Johnson's and while being introduced to my sleeping quarters in the garage-turned-into-Rachel's-High-School-bedroom, Robin introduced me to a few GDS's that are noteworthy.
Notice the lighting that is made more accessible by the lanyards attached to the pull-strings. Then the homemade shelves (IKEA? I don't need no stinkin' IKEA!)
Finally, the Pièce de résistance: the cooling unit. The garage space is split into two rooms, a library and Rachel's room. Because the 'room' that was once the garage was not originally included in the 'house', the heating and cooling is controlled separately by floor heaters and an air-conditioning unit that is located where the door to the outside used to be. Only problem is, this cools the library, but not the room. So Robin came up with a way to get the cool air to that part of the space using a mailbox, velcro, a plastic pipe, token duct tape, and her GDS creative skills.
The Legacy does indeed live on.
