"on a bedget"? in Southport? Helluva large budget!

What exactly took 2 months of work giving rise to "construction noise"? I've known builders who can put up an addition to a house in two months time. Even if you had the floors redone and the walls sanded, that would maybe be one noisy week.

It's not fair to obliquely mention it and not share what you did.

Hulu has a lot of great movies for free. The problem is that there's much more on the other end of the spectrum, and if you are merely browsing through a category (e.g. comedies) you may have to spend considerable time to find the gems. Currently also available with no expiration are: To Be or Not To Be; No DIrection Home; Beat the Devil; Charade; The Flaming Lips; Secret Agent; Ken Burns' Baseball; Sabotage; The Lady Vanishes; The 39 Steps; His Girl Friday. More recent flicks tend to have expiration dates: Bottle Rocket is there until April 1st.

I gasp in shock and horror every time I see a beautiful closet turned into one of these.

I mean this in the most complimentary way possible: It doesn't look like a decorator did this at all. It really looks like it's evolved over time with the residents. I am particularly picky when it comes to UWS apartments, as it hits close to home. I don't think anyone's mentioned this, but I really love the near-matching (?) rugs in the living and bedrooms: in modestly-sized NY apts having similar rugs allows the rest of the room to be drastically different without it jarring the senses when you quickly move from one to the other. I'm also really impressed and surprised that I like the blue dresser. I rarely go for the brightly painted furniture, but it works in this room. I just wish I could figure out why it looks so good in that particular context.

Great post; if it's not the ticket for tonight, then for some night in the future.

To the AT Editorial Staff: I'm really diggin' this series! Please make it easy to follow by including notice of the subsequent posts in our daily emails. Thanks.

Kudos. Great plan, beautifully executed.

First off, this is NOT Heater's home, right? This is the home of the "hip couple". (Because if they weren't "hip" they don't deserve to be on here, right?) Heather filled the house with her paintings and apparently did other things to it.

Second: Big woop. Yes, near Bozeman you're going to have loads of space that you won't in Brooklyn, and it is lovely to seem those homes. But these "mixed posts" are frustrating: when you have a home that's been lived in for 30-40 years and a "designer" comes in and works in ways that are not specifically enumerated, I find it awkard and uncomfortable to read and look at. If this is *all* Heather's doing, all her choices, then I agree that this is pretty awful, but I'm assuming she had a lot of constraints put on her by her clients.

House tours on AT work best when the auteur(s) behind the aesthetic is/are the resident(s). Perhaps that's the limitation of the digital format, or at least AT's format; posts focussing on the designer always make the designer's fee look like a waste of money.

Don't you think the cat in the first pic is going to try to slip between those jars on the bottom shelf? Mine would, and send the jars crashing!
