In this era of multi-tasking, this is a welcome (and wise!) quote (well, maybe except for the bit about the lipstick and the husband...). Thanks!

Oops... I meant "from some super fancy rug source."

I love this! So much cool-looking, unusual stuff, and you've arranged it beautifully! I'd love to see more of this (esp. the art) more close up eventually (hint hint to AT editors). I was wondering about the rug, too, and had assumed that it was from super fancy rug source. Nice job!

You have made a beautiful home for yourselves. It looks great!

In DC, a new one that I've seen recently is "penthouse level." I equate "penthouse" with the 25th floor of a building with amazing views of the cityscape...not the top floor of my somewhat humble (though beloved) six level building. Real estate agents...

Wisest words on Apt Therapy ever: "clean up after yourself constantly and immediately"

(This isn't quite my style but the apartment contained so much neat stuff (...and the couple seemed so cool) that it was hard to resist.)

It always drives me nuts when people say that renting is "throwing money away." Buying a place may be a better long term investment but you're certainly getting something in return (a roof over your head!) and, as many folks have pointed out, renting simply works better for a lot of people.

Off topic completely....I have that same rug! I like it a lot but have had it for a few years and it's STILL shedding. Not sure if this picture was from someone who had the rug but if so, how do you clean it and is yours still shedding?

This does look very calming and charm and definitely reminds me of a cottage vacation rental. It seems as if it's very "intentional"; I would love to see the rest of your home.

Super nice; also love the art and the way it's presented. Would love to see a little more of the kitchen.

What is it about lima beans? I also HATED them as a kid and would feed them to our dog, under the table (who liked them, to my surprise). I now eat pretty much everything except for...aspic.

This is a really nice kitchen. As someone who's thinking about a renovation in a small area, this definitely provides some ideas. BTW: What kind of countertops (are they concrete?) and what kind of range? Thanks!

Oysters are the best! I loved your mention of the Grand Central Oyster Bar--it is such a classic and authentic place. I went their once as a kid with my dad, once in college when I was a camp counselor, and very recently with my boyfriend on his 50th birthday. "Foodies" may not love it but it's great for people watching and the oysters I had were pretty tasty.

Cool house! I'm crazy about the rug, too... Can you tell us where you got it? It seems to be a hit.

I really love this space and I think you've done a great job with it. Some cool MCM-type furniture along with some more contemporary items...but nothing that overwhelms the original details of what is obviously a cool apt. (with really nice light).

ps to LarryA2...I think you meant MAMIE Eishenhower (or Bess Truman)...

Really nice place! I especially like the grouping of pictures on the wall. The whole place looks well thought out...but not overly curated.

The blue one screams "Betty Draper." It's not really my style but if you really love it...then you should replace the World Market one. And it does look really well made.

The trend that I'm SO sick of is crystal chandeliers all over the place. It was kind of cute/fun at first (in a little girl's pink bedroom! in a kitchen!) but now the whole thing seems out of control and they are everywhere.

I agree with Noelle153; it looks quite nice (and I'm impressed with your carpentry skills). I could also see painting it with one of those "washes", though, where you can kind of see the grain beneath (a kind of grey-ish one maybe?). Either way it will look good.
