What a well versed response. I love it when people spell out an ellipsis. Actually it makes me sad. Not as sad as an Andrew Bird song about metaphorical phantasmagorical situations, but almost as much.It does beg the question, "do you type only using your thumbs?" I can picture it, but again, it makes me sad.

I am sorry, but I find the negative comments on this post to be a bit much. I am all for fetishes, but demanding full room views as if it were the stone that held the metaphorical wall together is a bit much. If Ms. Brenner had done full room views, I fear these mildly disgruntled picture fetishists would then be demanding 'more detail'. I also feel that these comments reflect a complete lack of vision or imagination when viewing a house tour. There are distinct themes that run through this series of images, namely: re-purposing, cultural history and decorating in a historical context. I am sorry that people are unable to absorb information in non-simplistic ways. Maybe it's the educational system, or maybe it's our collective sense of entitlement, but I feel the subtlety and essence of this charming apartment has been lost on the vast majority of you unhappy key clickers and mouse movers. I would think it also beneficial to understand that these tours are fundamentally about joy. Joy as something that can be expressed in creativity, use of space, and the imaginative spirit. It makes me sad, that so many joyless people can find the energy to waddle up to their mac books and type bile when there is so much joy to be passed around. Waddle on picture fetishists, waddle on. To Liz and Will, I find your whimsical use of common items for everyday function inspiring, and your use of meaningful historical and cultural objects creative and well conceived. To the whiners, I would recommend a diaper tour, I fear yours are completely filled.
