Not only do I adore this space, I adore you, without our having met. How about a cup of tea some morning? I'm just a few thousand miles away in California.

Am I just too old for such craziness? I don't like any of this, save the dog (Chewy?) portrait.

I tried it tonight and it was YUMMY. I will, however, make a few changes next go round, to whit:

uncooked shrimp
1 (extra cup) chicken broth for simmering shrimp and to make sauce

I'll try to remember to report back on this.

A. It's paint. The neighbor hasn't permanently "ruined" a fine piece of architecture (which I seriously object to, but perhaps that will open another can of worms).

B. The author is right not to show the house because the particular yellow is not the issue; the issue is how a person feels about her neighbor's choice of colors. If the author were to post a photo of the home, we'd be weighing in on our own taste, not her having the right--or not--to object.

C. I object to the seemingly-tasteful mocha with white-and-black trim ubiquitous in my neighborhood, but I wouldn't tell my neighbors what color/s to paint their homes.

D. When we have the dough to paint our home, our neighbors will be likely be referencing their own by "the turquoise house" two doors down.

The comments have been hijacked by a pair of boobies and a trio of movie posters!

This home clearly appears to be designed for the comfort and amusement of the owners, not outsiders, which is more than can be said for many, many AT posts. My guess is that the child growing up in this home is well loved and will not be irreparably damaged by the above.

Well done and LOVELY, Robert and Hannah. And thanks for the relaxed photos of your bad selves.

Cool without being precious: well done! I especially like the Alcoholics Anonymous book next to the bar: very witty.

Made this for brunch this morning and it was delicious, but be careful about over-baking, which was easy to do. I put mine, by the way, in a 9" (or so?) round pie pan and turned it out on a plate afterward.

I adore AT and even more so after the enthusiastic response to this post and the has-to-go outpouring to the partner-watches-porn post. Go AT gang!

Now can you tell me where I can get their clothes for a fraction of the price?

C is for creepy: at least the feather/hair/mushroom variety of braid.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for not tearing out the pink tile. I fear those lovely 50s (40s?) bathrooms will soon all be the thing of memories.

Adorable and I especially love that a "full" family lives here. Nice to see folks that realize they don't need a room for every person in the house.

LOVELOVELOVE. Do you own this apartment? It's hard to imagine a landlord spending that kind of money on a gorgeous tub, nice cabinets, etc.

The apartment is so coolly calm, without any clutter, but the REAL reason I'm voting for this place is the minimalist description. Way to go!

SO interesting, this layout. As a lifelong west-coaster, I've never seen such a thing.
