Good for ED. However, the ultimate measure of success in magazine publishing (as Hachette and the PR minions who release this info know) is not number of pages, but total advertising revenue. If AD...

An eyesore.

Absurd product placement much?

Boston is cold, unfriendly, expensive, and the public schools are terrible. It's no wonder that families with children don't want to live there.

On a side note, if anyone is considering dark wood blinds like the ones shown, be prepared to dust them weekly if not more often. I have them and they look great, but low-maintenance they are not.

"Interstitial space" sounds so much nicer than "alley." Looks like a charming and budget-friendly production.

This was built in cold grey Boston? Did they plan this via long distance? I'm sure the family will enjoy their courtyard the dozen or so days out of the year they can use it. It would be more usefu...

Aside from the ground floor, which is essentially a covered patio, I don't see how this house successfully eliminates the distinction between indoors and outdoors in - everything inside is slick an...

I'd bet good money clueless straight folk did this to that poor door. The colours are not right for the gay rainbow flag, there is aluminum siding on the house, and just look at that janky b...

I Imagine those purple, acid green, and brown (!) floral mosaic tiles are going to ding somebody's resale value as surely as avocado green toilets and foil wallpaper. But at least they're not dull.

Excellent advice and appropriate use of first person singular. That wasn't so hard was it?

Glad to see so many dark colour enthusiasts. I personally find whites and pastels (ugh!) deadly dull. But if anyone does decide to paint with a dark, vibrant, or unconventional colour based on advi...

C-I-L-L da lan-lord.

@ jacksonlalonde: There is (or used to be) a laundromat/cafe in the East Village. There were even live performances some nights, which was cool for the launderers but rather sad for the performers....

1. re: Ceiling beams. If you look closely you can see tht the ceiling has been raised and soffit lighting installed so there is a chance that those beams are actually structural. I don't necessaril...

It looks as if it would cost $2MM a year to heat this habitrail through a Chicago winter.

Topcoat, topcoat, topcoat. After whatever paintjob you do is totally dry and cured (which usually takes a few days), spray those puppies down with at least 3 light coats of satin polyurethane. It w...

I don't know what property values are like generally in that area, but this seems like an incredible bargain. To paraphrase Martha, you can't find a shack on the water with land like that an...
