By the way: Lower East Side and East Village? What's the dif? As far as I know, it's one and the same. I think the East Village appellation began to be used by realtors looking to upgrade the l...

I've never considered Stuytown LES. I lived in the city 22 years and got off the subway at the First Avenue F train stop for fourteen years, so I know the two neighborhoods well. It's like callin...

Neat place. I loved the circular shelving system and I wish I could go to Home Depot and approach piping as if it were some easy-to-use home toy. Clever use of tin ceiling tiles. I also loved th...

Nix on the dead birds. Gattaca001, are you saying the dead birds are ingenues (a la Audrey Hepburn, the quintessential ingenue) or ingenious? What is so ingenious about taxidermy?

Looks beautiful and I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Very Scandinavian-influenced. I enjoyed it very much. I liked the muted colors and I loved the old-fashioned kitchen. I get so sick of seeing what HGTV calls "gourmet kitchens." Everything work...

Nice job. Very expressive yet restrained. Good luck on the new place!

I have liked and bought Met Home for thirty years, starting when it was Apartment Life. Having said that, I thought it was too upscale for the times and wondered how it was doing. Those $80K - $1...

Saw it at MoMA and wondered when it was going to make AT.

Good luck everyone out there, and don't get judgmental about people who get the flu. If it has passed you by, it's because you've been lucky. Even the most conscientious people can get it. All i...

Get real. Nothing crafty is going to get done with these teeny-tiny precious little spaces. Start with an ample work surface, go from there.

I am against painting the bookshelves and the moldings, or anything else for that matter. These folks need some more books. The shelves look barren. A collection of something bright ...

I loved the fusionfurniture cart -- but at $1200? Go CB2 with your lucite line -- one day some of your items will be mine!

I loved the first photo, and I was also pulled in by the third and fifth photos. The last photo reminded me of Thanksgiving at grandmother's, and that's not a bad thing. I don't think...

I think that is a beautiful table. I'd try the red Conran bentwood chairs with it; just four at the table (two on each long side), with two tucked away in a closet for reserve, so you could easily...

I agree with sousa609. I think the rehabbed file cabinet is going to get old pretty quick. I've seen old file cabinets sanded, then painted white, then distressed, and they look a lot more mellow...

Interesting comments. The ideas can be used without buying their furniture. It would have been nice to have seen the ideas illustrated with something other than their own promoted merchandise.

Things I liked: (1) green wall in kitchen (beautifully painted!), and woven kitchen chairs; (2) library shelves; (3) double squared bathroom sinks; and (4) lovely art work of horses. ...

I thought it was interesting. Not over-designed. I liked the inset windows.

Two Thanksgiving memories. We were working for a non-profit agency and living in a borrowed home. We put the turkey in the oven and the damn thing just didn't get done. After waiting...
