I love that wallpaper! And I usually hate wallpaper.
As for sconces, I think you need to define what kind of light you want to get from them. For example, I have a pair I need to get...
All that wood and brick -- seems like such a "non-New York" apt -- and I mean that in a good way.
Yes, could use more art, but I think accumulating art should take time. I do agree th...
I checked 4 or more. My living room has 3 lamps, 2 sconces and a dining table overhanging fixture with 7 bulbs -- most are 15 or 25 watt bulbs, only the scones have 100 watt bulbs -- and ALL are o...
Your 80's dinner party pic looks more like a wedding/bar mitzah/anniversary party in a catering hall to me.
Casual is fun, but if I could afford to hire help, I think a formal dinner w...
Lots of nice work, and touches (love the rain spouts, the Sullivan panel, and tons of great furniture) -- but overall I find the color palate too white/gray. I would have preferred to see more mid...
I loved the Conran stores that existed Boston/NYC/Washington in the 80's -- never understood why they went out. The current NY store has lovely things, but it's so far away from anything else -- h...
Several people have put in this in the context of organic versus standard, and I'm curious why? Organic isn't necessarily "cleaner", just chemical free. One could argue that organic is more likel...
So glad you're doing a different route! But so sorry we can't join you. : - (
We will be at Ikea for the better part of the day, making final decisions and plunking down the money...
The first pic (especially -- and a few others, too) would totally freak out my Firemen uncle and cousin: any blocking of a means of egress is a huge no-no, and a real hazard.
Fireplace as a focal point of the room -- a delight (and a rare treat for most of us.)
TV as focal point of the room -- horrible -- unless the room is specifically dedicated for entert...
Just read about Gourmet -- very sad. Always my preference over Bon App. Hopefully Saveur will step to the plate (so to speak) and help fill in the void.
Even if the FDNY didn't suggest this, why would you want to keep an alarm that goes off without reason -- to be awaken again, and filled with concern and doubt again ??? This is a no-brainer: get...

oops -- 'sconces have 100 watt bulbs' -- I don't light my scones!

Very cool. I must say I'm a bit envious.

Very sad. I can still remember when it was called "Apartment Life". GreatFriend is right -- it is like a plague.

You MUST see the Saarinen exhibit -- it's fantastic.
I second Ocean Parkway -- it's a lovely street.

To be avoided.
DO NOT TOUCH IT! And I agree with the others who ask why did you buy in an old building if you don't appreciate historical features???
