currently, my morning routine consists of cleaning up cat vomit, packing up 4 different food storage containers for toting food to work, running shower water for a 1/2 hour before it gets hot, and washing dishes from the night before. I am out of the house before the sun is up, as I am a teacher. I think I am in need of a routine change. A Morning Ritual Challenge Flag this comment	10/3/12 2:00 PM
great use of space, but it seems stressful to live with all that stuff. The bedroom seems to be the most peaceful spot in the apartment. My eyes enjoy a blank, calm wall once in a while, and NYC rarely allows that. An Evolving (and Artistic) East Village Home House Tour Flag this comment	8/16/12 7:25 AM
It only gets me down when I'm already down. I used to love it. I felt so self-sufficient. But lately this summer, I think nothing of nothing more enjoyable than getting ready for work in the morning and hopping into a nice clean car and throwing all my day's necessities on the passenger seat for a change, instead of sitting with them all on my lap on a smelly subway car while the brief A/C blast dries the sweat off my 6:45 am brow. Summer is tough in the city. Schlepping: The Ultimate Urban Workout Flag this comment	8/6/12 1:21 PM
I agree with " janet UWS." ...............Oh the quietude, the peace, the way my ears adjust themselves to the sounds of silence when i go to small towns. In the city, my brain just can't filter "it all" anymore. It just seems, I don't know, not natural. I'll trade West Elm, and trendy overpriced jeans shops and Trader Joes any day for a Walmart sitting in the middle of no where. Give me closed-mindedness, gas guzzling pick-ups, and greasy diners, and at the same time, give me, the oxygen, the trees, the smells of dirt and water and sky, and the sounds of birds, and creatures unseen, and the inner peace that says that this is where humans belong. Not in a high rise box with the only sound being the T.V. I need to move to a small town........ 10 Reasons I Love Living in a Small Town Flag this comment	7/8/12 7:15 AM
As much as I would love to make this soup (I'm always craving it and I happen to be a pretty damn good cook), it's probably much more economic for me and other New Yorkers to head down to Chinatown and purchase a giant bowl of this stuff inclusive of all the trimmings, for $5.25. You heard me....$5.25. Our studios might be small here, but the food is worth it. Recipe: Vegetarian Pho (Vietnamese Noodle Soup) Flag this comment	11/1/11 10:31 AM
I don't think it's the apartment that so many of you guys don't like, I think it's the owner. He seems a little self obsessed. I realize that a person is a part and a product of their environment, but maybe only one pic of his beautiful mug at the end would have been enough.

Even if you remember to do the dishes...don't forget to clean out the sink trap. I forgot to do so one time and the entire apartment and BUILDING stunk from rotting food bits in the drain trap. Covering All the Bases Before Vacation \| Apartment Therapy Los Angeles Flag this comment	7/26/10 9:55 AM
i don't understand why you went through the bother of having the party outside because you just ended up mimicking the interior of the house. It ended up not being the "outdoors" at all, but just the inside brought outside. Roberto Gil's Plywood Party Tent My Great Outdoors \| Apartment Therapy New York Flag this comment	7/13/10 3:48 PM

Any decor on a toilet tank is foolish and annoys me. The toilet is purely utilitarian and should not be connected to the ocean, the forest, the garden or anywhere else where humans usually don't poop or pee. I never understood why connecting the bathroom to the beach makes sense to so many people. A bathroom should be clean, useful and efficient so you can get in and out without being grossed out. And No, I don't have germ or poop issues...... Breaking News: Seashells Transform Bathroom! The Onion \| Apartment Therapy New York Flag this comment	6/16/10 5:43 PM
I had a fire escape garden once and it was priceless. In NYC, I would have paid extra rent just for its use. I haven't had one in 5 years, but in two weeks I am moving to a new place for more money and a huge fire escape. It's calling my name. As long as I keep a large passage clear, I am prepared for all reprimanding by building management. It's worth it. Fire Escape Escapes \| Apartment Therapy New York Flag this comment	6/15/10 6:00 PM
It's a shame that one has to be rich to care about ethical practices. This fabric is ridiculously unaffordable. Parlor Textiles Store Profile \| Apartment Therapy New York Flag this comment	6/14/10 11:41 AM
