One year when I was on my own, I went ice skating in Central Park. I got there as soon as the rink opened, and it was kind of gray and drizzly so it wasn't very crowded. It was magical. It's one of...

Well, $1.9 million is a lot of money, but even in this market, one (not me) can still drop that much on a two-bedroom apartment in Manhattan. Not me, but just sayin...

I have had one of those Chef'n Switchit spatulas for about three years, and I really love it. I've given a lot of them away, too; they make terrific small gifts.

Super cool! Thanks so much for sharing this.

@hrhprincessfiona: I think the cat is concerned about not being able to get into the little cabinets now partially blocked by the new fridge, shown in pics 2 and 3. What's in there? It...

I'm a freelance editor who works from home. A few years ago, I was working on an 800 page manuscript to which I'd attached numerous Post-It notes with queries for the author. I came back from the ...

@jodeha2002: Yes, you can make tea in the Chemex. You can buy a glass lid that fits in the top (useful for keeping the coffee warm, too), and then use tea bags or a tea ball--or loose tea and pour ...

Hey, all you naysayers: These guys are *architecture* students, and this is a thesis project. It's supposed to be a little out there. They're learning. Any of you remember your first a...

Good work. Isn't it great how well the gray paint works? I'd have thought that it would be too dark for the little nook, but it's really nice. And excellent score on the island. ...

Oh, how I love my Chemex. Have had it for years and years. We make cold brewed coffee with the Toddy filter now but still use the Chemex to serve coffee when we have guests. I also use it to make ...

I swooned when I saw the little frenchie standing on the eiffel tower chair. Perfect together...

Congratulations on living through your renovation. Very nice. Would love to see more. Are those, by any chance, Lyon stools in the kitchen? I'm curious about the rubber feet. I'm think...

sigh.

I think it's great, and I applaud their long-term thinking regarding being able to "age in place" (an increasingly common but icky term). It's difficult enough to face illness or disability without...

This is a tough one, and I think it depends on your work habits. You can have your desk in the bedroom if you manage your workspace and work habits well. Ideally, when you've finished...

Wow, it's just so nice. Loved the "in-action" shots of the dining room, and all of the Bacon shots. Nice to see a place being lived in. Lovely colors, lovely arrangements. At first, I ...

Sounds like fun! Instead of Coney Island Ave, you might consider walking up Ocean Parkway instead, at least part of the way. It's a little wider, a little less gritty, and it's got a n...

Thank you, claudira, voice of well-informed reason.

Woo hoo! Congratulations! This one was my favorite, too.

Really liked this one. Seems like AT is starting to skew toward more higher-end, professionally done spaces, which I find kind of tiresome and not particularly inspiring. I can get my...
