These are beautiful but salvage yards at filled with colored sinks/tubs/etc that people have ripped out of their bathrooms, so the same look can be found for much less.

I'm in favor of anything that breaks some of the white monopoly.

This feels like another very un-AT post.

I agree about the travesty of the kitchen. I really hope those cabinets were donated. The kitchen now looks cheap and there are a dime a dozen like that out there. What's the point of getting a farmhouse if you aren't preserving any of the original charm? The kitchen doesn't even feel creative, it feels obligatory- insert stainless steel, wood, and white tile here.

I don't think food blogs are over, because it's not really a trend per-se. People have always and will always cook, and now the internet is how we share information....so I don't see how food blogs will die down. The novelty certain has changed though. Smitten Kitchen used to seem so unique and exciting, now it's a pretty common format.

When is the city going to use eminent domain to take over Gramercy Park, making it a public park and less of a traffic hazard? If Atlantic's Yards is worthy, surely this would be too.

I agree with the criticism of Bower Power, it seems so far off from Apartment Therapy's ethos.

I'm a huge fan of pot-racks, and they seem much more functional than open-shelving (plus I like the look).

Use uship.com and post a photo and description of the items you want shipped and your window of time. People bid on your job and you can choose based on reviews/price/etc. I moved a ton of stuff very cheaply from New York to Baltimore. I know someone else who used the site to ship a couch as well from NYC to California.

love love love love.

I'm in the camp of finding this house-tour ostentatious and not too helpful. Most of us can't relate to having a custom Jonathan Adler carpet. I don't think it's particularly creative or impressive to do a house like this with a basically limitless budget. I think part of the reason blogs like Young House Love are so popular is the thrift, creativity, and innovation of people working with constraints is more fun and relatable. The owners of this house could've bought a place comparable but not quite as extravagent and donated the money. No one needs so much....
