"I just want CLEAN CLEAR SURFACES. And one flower." - Edina (AbFab) If I just wanted clean clear surfaces, this would be the place for me! But I would feel as though I had to carry Oxiclean and a towel with me everywhere and only drink water, white wine, and sprite. p.s. LOVE the last photo w/the stretched out cat - aren't cats the best? :) Stefanie & Taylor's Black and White Luxury DC Loft House Tour Flag this comment	10/10/12 6:24 PM
Love what you did with your place - it's cool AND cozy. And the smushfaced cat is freaking adorable. Max's West Hollywood Glamazon House Tour Flag this comment	6/14/12 5:41 PM
By far the coolest house tour I've ever seen on AT! (And would be perfect for The Selby too!) LOVE IT A Look Inside the Home of Lighting Designer Marjorie SkourasHouse Tour Flag this comment	4/23/12 2:07 PM
Love what you've done with everything - your place looks as though it's got a great flow to it, and everything feels airy, but grounded (thanks to your non-generic furnishings, etc). Great job! p.s. Just say no to child proofing...and to children in general. :) Ann's East Village Aerie House Tour Flag this comment	3/20/12 2:58 PM
The brown tabby is super cute, and I love the old fireplace and wide-plank floors. This is the opposite of my style, so I am not qualified to comment on the "curated" pieces, but the o p e n feel is nice. A note to those who write/edit things: using 'curated' outside of describing art collections in museums sounds so pretentious. Please stop.

Wow - very elegant. Makes my s. End abode look extra boho/non-adult! Just one question: where is the cat? Every full AT tour I've seen has a cat somewhere in the photos. Could you not find one to go w/the decore? :) Terry & Lyndon's Pristine Palatial Parlor House Tour Flag this comment	9/30/11 5:38 PM
Your place has a very airy, yet cozy feeling. Well done! Haley & Ted's Bright White Cottage House Tour Flag this comment	6/30/11 3:23 PM
Having never been to the (gay? bi?) Monticello, I totally fell for this! GOOD ONE, AT! Thomas' Custom Southern Charmer House Tour Flag this comment	4/1/11 5:28 PM
Love the cat in the last photo's pose! So cute!! Corina's Hollywood Glamour on a Budget House Tour Flag this comment	3/31/11 2:45 PM
I have never once not had to get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and if I drank a large anything for dinner, it would probably be more than once! And sound affects me as much, or more than, light. I sleep w/a fan on - the white noise cuts the city noise - and use earplugs. I am also one of those (rare, I think) people who cannot nap. And no matter how tired I am during the day, I almost always get a second wind around 7pm and rarely can fall asleep before 2am. Not sure why I am going on about all this...I guess just to add to the comment that everyone is different. I have tried many things to go to sleep earlier/get more sleep, and read anything I come accross. But I am still waiting for the perfect solution (roofies anyone??)

Love love love LOVE your place!!! The colors, the objects, the art, the tile floors, the dark wood...everything comes together in a really special way. Marta & Oswaldo Viteri's Vast Story-telling Collection House Tour Flag this comment	9/3/10 4:42 PM
It is rare for me to see a place that I like as much as my own (in terms of layout and decore). Your place is one such place--way cool! Dayana's Condo, a Mod-Macabre Mash-Up House Tour \| Apartment Therapy DC Flag this comment	7/23/10 5:54 PM
Coolest fireplace I've ever seen--wow! I am having total space envy. p.s. What up AT - this is the first full house tour I've ever seen w/o an artsy shot of the owner/s' dog and/or cat...ha ha... just sayin'!

This is the only AT post that I've seen w/a sleeping loft. Not that I've seen them all, but... I love my sleeping loft, and am always curious to see places w/sleeping lofts and/or unusual layouts, which this certainly has. For those curious to see another place w/a sleeping loft and unusual layout that might be less indie-flick set-worthy, check this out: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/boston/house-tours/ardens-attic-abode-house-call-109548 http://larakimmerer.typepad.com/lk_weblog/2010/03/ardens-place.html Heather's Funky Bohemian Loft House Tour \| Apartment Therapy Chicago Flag this comment	5/4/10 4:25 PM
Why thank you so much "coarsetalk"--I would love it if my place got a full-on house tour, but it wasn't selected for one. Maybe if I add some antlers and re-submit... ;) Arden's Attic Abode House Call \| Apartment Therapy Boston#comments#comments Flag this comment	4/26/10 5:19 PM
Love your place! You have done such a nice job using all the space. It's a good thing we live in diffrent cities--otherwise, we might fight over the same pieces!

p.s. Hi Proper Bostonian- to answer your question, I earn a living as a graphic designer, so I know more about fonts and PMS colors than interior composition and light! :) Arden's Attic Abode House Call \| Apartment Therapy Boston Flag this comment	3/29/10 6:51 PM
