What's "gemy"? Is it "full of precious stones" (gemmy)? Because I don't see anything like that here. I don't have a 4yo, so I think I must be missing the reference!

No room for a dishwasher!? The horror!

I love what I can see of this!

To be fair, it is labelled "tech tour", not "house tour", so one probably can't expect to see much of the actual house.

Also, houses, by their very nature, being mostly larger and usually having more discrete spaces than apartments, are going to be harder to fit into a tour of a reasonable length.

This is just one problem with the preponderance of tours of houses, rather than apartments. But clearly that is the way AT is going. I count 13 house tours and 4 apartment/studio tours so far this month; the same period last year the breakdown was 50/50.

(I'm laid up after an op at the moment, so yes, I do have too much time on my hands, and my count may be wonky).

I am happy to skip over the vignette shots that aren't interesting to me, but you know what I really don't like? When the one shot of a great looking room (bathroom, in this case) is a close-up of 3 bottles of shampoo.

Nice house!

Looked at it, couldn't join it because I'm not on Facebook. (I tend to refuse to follow crowds). I would have liked to use it as a way to "bookmark", I think.

Really interesting idea. I think it just misses the mark somehow - possibly the handles should have been retained/the same over the whole piece? If the handles were consistent, the only point of difference would be the ombre effect, which is certainly striking.

It's gorgeous. And I appreciate the estimate of the time spent on doing this. The reports of projects that only take "an afternoon" always make me feel inadequate.

The life and times of the 1%, beautiful!

Someone should start a website showcasing the apartments and tiny houses of the 99%.
