Chinese Dingbat

We live in a cheerful dingbat by the beach. The perfect low-key surfer pad, but dingbat nevertheless -- nondescript, with cottage cheese ceilings & all. So the "improvements" made to our building while we were enjoying Europe's architecture came as a crash landing when we got back. The owner is of course Chinese, and the lions are supposed to bring good luck. They might as well. We should also mention the Swiss cuckoo clock in the courtyard. Call it L.A. fusion.
