Just to revisit this thread, keep on reducing that price, it's way overvalued. Wake me up when it's under $250/square feet.

Love the exposed brick.
Would be really interested to know how many square feet the space is.

As an Asian I have to say this that generally it's pretty true. And on the other side of the fence, Asians tend to find white generally complain too much.

Yes Celeste! Canada represent!! I love your computer desk, could you tell us more on how the desk was made? (I'd love to make something similar). A fan in Toronto.

For the ladies who commented on the differences between men and women's apartments, Leonard Cohen once said something interesting.

A writer (man) needs only two rooms, one with a typewriter in it for him to bang on, and another with a woman with which to do the same.

I go to Montreal about 4 times a year and when I do, I couchsurf at a friend's who lives in Westmount Square. Just got back from there less than than a month ago.

The picture above in the lobby is my friend's building. I can tell the pictures are old because the front doors were upgraded earlier this year so that they are automatic.

The elevators were also recently upgraded (though imo the old up/down indicator lights looked better, the new ones also show what floor the elevator is on).

They're beautiful buildings though in looking through the windows of the residents it's too bad a lot of them don't decorate to match the beauty of the building.

If I ever live in a Mies building it'll definitely be Barcelona's and Brno's.

I've read a few interviews by her and yeah, she does seem like someone with impeccable taste. Considering her upbringing, the fact that she didn't end up being a complete snot like Paris Hilton actually says a lot about her. As always I'll keep an open mind.

This is $862 per square feet. Is this normal in New York? I'm in Toronto Canada and even at half the price imo this place is overvalued.

Whenever I have encountered an especially comfortable desk to sit in front of, I've measure them. For me personally the ideal height for a desk is 28 inches. My suggestion is to keep a measuring tape handy, go to some furniture stores and figure out what your ideal height for a desk is.

As a sidenote, I have a table I love that I've been using for a desk for years now, the above for me was a recent discovered. I have bought and replaced numerous chairs because I never felt comfortable. And when I did the measuring tape exercise, I realized the problem wasn't my chairs (I even have an Aeron B and an Eames zenith shell chair with padding, both of which I find extremely comfortable). The culprit was my table, which when measured, turned out to be 32 inches! 4 inches higher than my ideal desk height, no wonder.

Nice place! Just curious, is the desk IKEA? (btw, I also like the chair)

The chair is from IKEA and it's called the Klackbo. I know because I have the exact same chair, red fabric with oak legs. It was discontinued a year or two ago.

I too would like to know about the book case, but more importantly, the cute little cube shaped nightstand beside the bed.
