I just love the way you used warm & cool tonalities and soft & hard textures in wall colors and furnishings. It looks so inviting and relaxed.

Very appealing, most original. The sinks are real eye-catchers, and the collection of diverse elements really works well. Would love to tour the rest of their home with their taste being this exquisite.

Oops, "in" the story, not "on" the story in my comment above.

Lincoln's interiors were so exquisitely tactile with a sense of being used, to the point of tattered and frayed edging, nicks and worn patina in the furnishings, that I felt I was actually there. They gave me a quite visceral sense of time and place that enriched the intensity of each incident on the story itself.

One idea that worked for me was to start by going through all my books to see if there is a Kindle or iPad version.

If I really really want to keep it, I buy the electronic version and gave away or sold the printed version to people who are thrilled to have them. Freed up a lot of space and energy.

Yup, it takes doing this in stages to stay within a modest quarterly budget, but it helped me get real about whether a given book is actually important to me or just taking up space. In many cases, out it goes.

Plus, I learned which books are out of print entirely, which allows me to appreciate even more the treasures I do keep. Fun, fun, fun.

I'm following the daily emails, but they do not seem to match the calendar dates. Am I missing something?

In any case, I love how this is set up with easy-to-tackle tasks, not grueling marathons, while still making a real difference at a fundamental level. My bedroom is has recovered its original simplicity, and is a pleasure to walk into now, and I even scanned the last 2 months of tax receipts without feeling overwhelmed, as a by-product of that list of priorities we made. I am inspired without being exhausted. Thx, this is fun!

Wowie zowie! This is one amazing collaboration! As for those "unfinished" projects you mention? Don't even bother, it's perfect the way it is! Kudos to the max.

I lived for 11 years in 234 square feet in LA, grew to love the simplicity, but at a much, much cheaper rent of $500. When that place got sold and leveled, I doubled my rent and moved into 575 square feet. I really had to readjust to having such a huge amount of space. I tend to keep it simple and uncluttered, and find that I quite enjoy the "echo," and whenever it disappears, I know it's time for another yard sale, and I feel gloriously greener each time. How much stuff would a wood chuck chuck, if a wood chuck could chuck stuff? Smaller is simply easier ;-)

Gotta say it: cats rule, and the photo of feline grandeur surveying the dining table is perfect.

Major kudos on the entire design, as you managed to bring Boston and NYC together beautifully,

Very glad to see you have noted the comments. I agree with all posters that this is not the place for a one-off column about volatile, potentially polarizing topics such as this. Just say no, please, and focus on what makes you truly wanted and appreciated. Psychology Today you are not.

Very, very well done! Each vignette is original and fresh. Love all the green (especially the bathroom: oooh!!), and that vintage white brick rocks the porch.
