My point in the first sentence was that it is often the case (though not exclusively) that native New Yorkers are more likely to think of families sharing tight surroundings as 'normal' and therefore easier to replicate when starting their own families. I recognized this in Judy and wanted to say it from a point of personal experience.

Check out the link to the house tour for all kinds of resources, but I think all of the floors are bamboo.

Stay tuned for Alina's house tour next week! Photographing Alina's home was easy because everywhere I aimed my camera, a gorgeous vignette filled my frame.

Hi All
Please keep in mind that this tour includes a number of small apartments in the same building on the waterfront in LIC. Each apartment has only one strong theme so there is no competition of patterns and colors. I am sorry if combining a few apartments in one slide show/tour has been confusing to some of our readers.

SaraB.--It is a J.Crew sweater and it's sized small. So funny that you wrote that.
And thanks everyone else for your input. So far, my techniques are keeping the moths at bay. If there is a next time, I will definitely consider the pheromone traps. In the meantime, I love how clean and streamlined my closet is!

Hi Jen
I think the least expensive way to do that is to purchase reclaimed floor boards and make it yourself. There's a housetour on AT where Jeremy made his own!

Hi Chgoeditor. The utensil rack is a seriously magnetic piece and I believe I purchased it at Bed Bath and Beyond. Toaster is from the 1950's in what was then Czechoslovakia. I suppose an eBay search might yield one. Or you could always go rummaging in thrift stores in Prague which is where I found it 15 years ago.

In response to floorplan requests... The front living room and kitchen are separated by the long bookshelved hall from the master bedroom bath and meditation nook. Downstairs are Rachel and Gretchen's offices. The kitchen has a window that looks into the meditation nook and the rest of the master bedroom.

Hi All. Thank you for your great comments. Here is Rachel's response to many of your inquiries:
"The living-room furniture is all Danish Modern. The chairs and coffee table came from Gretchen's parents and the couch from my side of the family. The thing in picture 9 is called a danmo --it's a Vietnamese percussion instrument carved from a jackfruit tree.
The "map" lightswitch plate is sort of decoupage I wrapped the plate in the map and spayed it with several layers of spray-on polyurethane.
The crossword puzzle one we bought somewhere......don't know where.
The plant by the side chair is a rubber plant, we don't know what the one on the table is --company brought it.
The rug may come from Macy's not sure.
Transom over the kitchen wall and bathroom wall: the original walls were not anywhere near where the current walls are and nothing was load bearing so we were pretty unconstrained in that regard. But getting that piece of glass up was one of the hardest things we did. Harder than replacing the sagging floor joists....."

Hi DC Sarah. How exciting that you are going in a couple of weeks. Considering it will be mid-August, I would bring warm layers as well as good rain gear. We rented a 4WD so that we would not be restricted in where we could travel. I highly recommend the Highlands, the East Fjords and walking on the glaciers near Skaftafell. Rather than campsites, I preferred wild camping whenever possible. Good luck and enjoy!!

So sorry. Mike helped out in a pinch with his camera when mine died of battery loss syndrome. I'll make sure it won't happen again.
