My partner is insistent on bleeding the hot water pipes every year. Not only has it made a noticeable difference (rooms really seem warmer) but it eliminates the clanging and banging when the syste...
Did someone issue an edict that every side table be festooned with a lamp whose base consists of graduated orbs stacked one atop another? I suppose it bothers me because these bases fly in the face...
I'm as surprised as everyone else about the success with which you've used orange. It's pleasantly softer than I'd imagine, and I think having dinner in this room would be sumptuous. This was, in t...
That student death is deplorable, but bear in mind that in 2003 (the latest year fully reported), there were 598 homicides in Chicago. At the same time, in Rio de Janeiro, there were over 8,000 mur...
I'm not from Chicago, don't live there, but think of it as the architectural capital of the US. And a contender for food capital, too. Chicagoans deserve a chance to host the Olympics, and I believ...
This is a terrific solution for providing just enough architectural definition of separation and it won't be mistaken for furniture, a dressing screen or a makeshift room divider. And polycarbonate...

Despite the claim at the beginning, "Japan is a huge influence on design, but nowhere do they influence it as much as in bathroom design," I don't see any of these solutions as being especially app...
Sweetchuck: thanks for posting those fantastic photos of your Glass House tour. From your photos I'd say the AT photo really doesn't do the Johnson bathroom justice. And thank you for noticing the ...
I may be the father of one of you who posted the above comment, and I'd like to remind you (since you won't open up your home to your in-laws) that there were times when your mother and I wished we...
We have a house in rural western Massachusetts; we visit every other weekend or so during the winter months. Once during a particularly cold spell - minus 10 degrees - we arrived very late and wen...

Thank you for this delightful and thorough documentation of a master's own house. This posting alone justifies AT reason for being. Again - thank you.
This is so lovely, so balanced... so perfect. Congratulations.
