it's there now...

RE: expense - compared to what? they are certainly more expensive than window units, but a fraction of the cost of retrofitting a space with ducts for conventional AC, or spacepac alternatives.

RE: aesthetics - there are some which look better. see LG. but the reality is we soon stopped noticing ours and they work so well!

and one thing to keep in mind that we found: if you want to have it automatically maintain a certain temp, it's hard because when it's mounted so high up, as is the internal thermostat, the can be several degrees warmer than below. some brands now have external thermostats which can be mounted at a more reasonable level. just something to think about.

really well done. just perfect. i thought many times about trimming out walls but always thought it would be too busy and look out of proportion - jon's is spot on perfect in its scale. i just realized someone else said that as well. we need a third.

and that dog is attached to which post precisely? or is it there to justify the use of the spelling "favourite"?

i should also note that i know some scandinavians who built a summer home in western MA and it is pretty much the same aesthetic inside and out - very dark gray on the outside, and very white, sparse, clean, and functional on the inside. it works really well, but i know they use pillows because i've stayed there.

it says the wood floor in the kitchen was painted to look like stone. wow. it's almost impossible to believe that it is not a stone floor.
very nice spaces and design, but really, she doesn't like clutter?

"yes" and "yes" to both rosenatti ("is was") and austinsarah2.

someone please go to the jayson warehouse sale and report back that it was awful, so i don't have to think about what i'm missing.

wilhelm12,
i sympathize a little with your situation, but the reality is you are expecting a lot of readers of this site to step inside the mind of a participant in the nyc housing market. as someone who used to live there, it simply does not easily translate into others, at least in the US. i would forget trying to convince non-new yorkers that your place is great and price is fair, and focus on your target audience. while sometimes AT feels dominated by new yorkers, the responses clearly suggest otherwise. and i do think that the best, and only relevant, judge of the "fairness" of your price is the future buyer. how long has it been on the market? any offers?

i found it hard to watch and listen. and i can tell you in advance i could not execute on that. but what's the fascination with fitted sheets in the first place? go flat!
