Everett 305's Profile

I don't have to look at the bathroom every day but I too love it. Please do not paint over the tile! I like the use of black in there with the pink. I hope you grant the tile a reprieve and wait to make a decision on it until you've switched out other elements, like the tub & toilet & floor. And of course that shower curtain. I think that may be your real problem!

Jennifer Juniper - I'm gay but marry me and we'll split the loot 50/50. Then we'll break up. But maybe we'll add yet another baby to the world in between and get a bunch of crap for that as well. Why make a thing out of every event? That's a fantastic question. I think the answer is marketing.

Ahhh, that gaping hole has now been filled and we can all breathe easier. Not that long ago there was a roundup of house tours from Saint Louis and they were above and beyond some of the best tours I've ever seen on AT in terms of originality, creativity, use of old spaces for new purposes, etc. How did those poor people in eastern Missouri do it without IKEA in the back yard I'll never know.

I live in one of the most popular, most trendy metropolitan areas in the U.S. I grew up in one of the least popular, least trendy metropolitan areas in the U.S. Once I quit paying attention to which way the trends were blowing I noticed something amazing: My hometown, architecturally, historically, is one of the most gorgeous cities in this land of ours. But it's not very popular because "the creatives" are pouring into cities like X, Y and Z by the thousands. So I'm getting ready to sell my shack here for way more than it's worth and move there and shell out $400 a month for a 1,000 sf apartment with stained glass, beautiful floors, a fireplace, a kitchen big enough for a table,12-foot ceilings. I'll be in culture shock for a few years but what the hell.

I agree with the sentiments of most of the previous comments this is a really cool space with a wonderfully weird mix of both objects and vibes. In addition there is something really intriguing about the photography for this tour. I love the shot of the chandelier and for some reason I thought the close-up shot of the sink beside one of the windows was particularly mesmerizing.

Taking an experience with one less-than neighbor and applying it across the board as an excuse to not connect with people alongside whom you live is pathetic, in my opinion. I've had some whacky neighbors over the years but I've also met some really great people. It's part of sharing a planet with others.

Though probably harmless, It is somewhat skanky, in my opinion, to read folks licking their man chops via the keyboards as the youngsters showcase their design skills. It reminds me of certain bars - long gone - in Baltimore and Portland, Oregon. That said, I LOVE this apartment. I love the story about painting a room three times before finally settling on his original color scheme. There is something about these rooms that seems at once effortless and very thoughtful. This tour seems to me to be more about vision and instinct and less about budgets and big names. That's Apartment Therapy at its best.

So, so glad to see others with the same question I have: Other than the fact that Apartment Therapy exists to sell products, why is this question on the site? There are thousands of mommy blogs and forums for parents to discuss their endeavor in excrutiating detail. I'm not sure why we need to see it here.
