No shoes in my house and that is how I was brought up, but I still struggle to ask my guests to take their shoes off. As somebody said before, I really don't understand why some guests don't get it. Besides the issue of dust and other messy things, taking the shoes of at the door is a sign of respect in my culture

It is challenging to read the content or see pictures with such a big Ad on your face. I come to AT for a purpose and throwing Ad on my face seems unnecessary. Hope, AT gets the point. I am not against advertisements, but I don't want to be forced to see one. How many of us like those unsolicitated calls in our home phone.

Does anybody know anything about the origin of the marble top table in second picture?

Hi Steve:

I know it has been a while since you made your posting, but hope you still can answer my questions. Your apartment is "WOW."

You mentioned using Theredesign for architectural help. I had talked to a few architects (including theredesign) but they all made it sound as if they would be responsible for the entire project. Honestly, I cannot afford it so I was wondering how you negotiated hiring architects just for design purpose. Was it an hourly fee or a fixed fee? Thanks.
