Brad CTD's Profile

as the man who lives here, let me just say a few things.

firstly, to those who find it "cluttered." the fact that the place is over-the-top is what makes it work; for there to be less would look like trying for something that didn't get there.

secondly: ironically, i find "minimalist" places to feel more self-conscious that this place. minimalism tends to draw attention to its' own sparsity.

thirdly, unlike most women, my wife is not a nazi about everything having to be in its' place all the time. (yes, i know i'm being a misogynist prick here). as a man, i feel more relaxed in this living space than i have anywhere else.

fourthly and finally, for those who love it but "couldn't live there," let me give you some advice: yes you could. walking into this place is like getting high.

ps: we aren't rich, and michele does everything on the cheap. the metal doormats on the transom are 15 bucks each, and she framed them in herself.

in fact, michele builds everything herself. i didn't even touch a hammer during the entire operation. i am a composer, and we composer/genius types are generally the sort of men who couldn't build a bird-feeder. i'm proud to be amongst their ranks.
