Wow. Gorgeous.

I can't imagine having that wonderful view overlooking the Place des Vosges (near where Hugo wrote Les Miserables, even!). The article says she bought in 1983, when prices in the Marais were "shockingly cheap." Not so much now.

ebanfield: I see a large flat screen TV over the fireplace in the room with the red couch.

Lizzykewl: It's safe as laundry detergent. It's used as a component of detergents.

You don't want your infant ingesting it, though, just like you probably don't want your infant ingesting Tide either. But in other countries it's used as a food additive, according to that wiki link, which is news to me.

Barcelona is a fabulous city, and is one of the most interesting in terms of architecture and design. It's a great place to visit even if you don't end up moving there. Gaudi was one of a kind, that's for sure.

I agree with home body completely. I own a home with a fairly large front lawn, and in 7 years, the only time it's been "watered" is when it rains. That includes grass and plants too.

A private balcony sounds nice . . . but for resale value, a 2/2 usually beats a 1/1.

If the price is comparable, I would definitely go with the 2/2, which also has more sf overall. The 2d bedroom can be used as an office/guest bdrm, and you will be glad to have it imho, if you really need an office area. I'm not all that fond of a spiral staircase, but I'd still choose the 2/2.

Beautiful home. I like the paint colors, and enjoyed the peek into the very organized pantry. I'll never be that organized but it certainly looks nice.

PS. In the US, "homage" is indeed the correct spelling. Perhaps it's spelled differently in other countries, though.

I think -- and I may be wrong -- that he/she is saying that a 1 bd condo in a cool converted bldg in midtown shouldn't be decorated in the conservative style of an Alpharetta mcmansion. Or something like that. I think it's a slam on the design choices, not the choice of where to live.

I like the cabinets. And I enjoy seeing ATL homes on here even though AT doesn't have an ATL section.

Wow. This place is fantastic. Bold and beautiful.

I don't think I would want to live there (a lot of the furniture fabric is too "Del Boca Vista" for me), but I would certainly love to visit and stay in that guestroom a few days. :)

There are artists out there who do this, but there might be copyright issues if you can't prove that the painting is in the "public domain."

Here is one company that does reproductions:
