So lovely. Great job...and I like the simple yet stylish and thoughtful decor. Not over-done with little chatkis like you see in so many period inspired homes.

although this home is lovely, i am disappointed that AT seems to be featuring more homes on larger scales. i regarding this site as a great resource for smaller homes and apartments, but now it seems like it has gravitated toward homes that are above most people's budgets. seems like the "apartment" part of "apartment therapy" has gone missing?

it is not a good idea to get on the bad side of your neighbor above. you are in a vulnerable position. when i moved in, i introduced myself and dropped off some chocolates as a gift. and although i do hear her walking about, i feel it may have been worse had i not taken that extra step. and for the people below me, i always take my shoes off when i come home and walk lightly. no pounding from below yet, knock....um...wood.

I live near a college campus, so I can say without question that I woudn't rent in a building that allowed college students to rent. Also, with my allergies, I cannot live in a building that allows pets.

Like many of the large mcmansions of the 80's-90's, large clunky furniture went out of style. As people downsize and learn to live with less, creating a smaller carbon footprint is so important. Granted, some of these pieces are not eco-friendly. But the idea of recycling old furniture and buying used is so appealing to me. Not many people will buy a used over-stuffed sofa. But there is a huge demand for a used mcm furniture. I like that about mcm.

One of the best ways to see the Greek isles is by sailboat. If you have a chance, I do highly recommend a sailing voyage. The smaller, lesser known islands are especially quaint and memorable. However, Santorini and Mykonos both are wonderful.

i agree, this is great for parties because everyone migrates towards the kitchen in the end. the stools in photos 2 and 4, while minimal and streamlined, are really not that comfortable in my opinion. even having a small back to the stool can make all the difference in the world. i would go with one that has a back to it.

Today's old typewriter is tomorrow's "brick" cellular telephone.

I have used AT as a reference source, for ideas and at times, for comedy from from its many members. Somehow, I keep coming back to it like a comfortable jacket! Congrats!
