I think you are a masterful lighter -- and that can make such a difference. I will be studying how you've done it to learn and imitate. Thanks.

Isn't it awesome how excited we can be about the transformation of a tenement apartment? It's so much fun to see how these wonderful Made By Two folks succeeded in solving this puzzle.

My personal fave -- the bathroom. Wish I could see a floorplan though.

BTW I lived in one of these babies back in the day when junkies would break in and steal anything, including our winter coats.

This speaks to me on a level that most house tours don't. Need to take some time and reflect on why that is.

I deliberately haven't read any of the previous comments so excuse any duplication ... but I found the place lacked cohesiveness and unity, as if the occupant hadn't made up her mind what sort of ambience she was going for. If she wanted funky old school it felt a little too barren for that as if each piece existed in its own world with no connection to anything else in the room. Collections of similarly colored bottles might work in a very spare setting but seemed jarring here. I think the maps on the wall looked forlorn. The bedroom works best, I feel, maybe because the rugs help bring it all together.

I feel much better about myself and my place after seeing The September Issue. I like the way AW didn't try to hide wrinkles from the camera. Maybe she uses botox, but not to excess it seems. I will def not bother to put braces on my lower teeth, as she obviously did not -- although she might have veneers on her upper teeth.
I loved her townhouse, which felt semi-slapped together with very odd pieces of furniture and jumps of color. Not at all "done" and somehow, at the same time, not looking as if trying for that "not done" look.

And of course Grace Coddington is the real artist but, as she herself points out, would have no venue for her genius were it not for AW's business sense that keeps Vogue going.

Has anyone located further screenshots of the office, shoot locations, townhouse or AW's Hampton house online?

Is that white daybed/bench in the photo gallery from The Door Store?

C'est magnifique!!

What about a/c -- or do you do without?

Maybe if I hadn't known you and boyfriend we're attempting to blend male/female styles (and maybe because I, too, am struggling right now with the same situation) I might not have picked up on this, but I feel that except for the bedroom (and those lovely curtains), everything seems a little too much like agreed on by committee.

I admire your kitchen and bath. What sort of material is the kitchen counter? Also, in the kitchen where are the lights coming from -- under the counter or ceiling track lights?

You say your bathroom light is recessed but I don't understand how it is.

Good luck on the sale. I think your bath and kitchen do give you the edge.
