Also, it sounds like many of their clients (including their friend and business pal Clint) moved because they were nervous about all the touristy attention on their family’s private home. What are future clients supposed to do if they have the same discomfort?

I cannot even read more than like three sentences of this. On a writing level, not even a theological/ideological/logical one.

The article says that Clint’s family had to move out of their home to another neighborhood and I AM SO DISTRESSED. That was one of my favorite renovations: really rescuing an old beauty that needed love.

I didn't know this was how sugar substitutes worked until my husband had a wicked sore throat and needed to fly out for an interview. I sent him along with a bag of sugar-free cough drops, which he dutifully used in great quantities and I'm still so relieved he made it off a long bus ride without incident because I…

I remember taking SO MUCH PRIDE in my poster and fabric tapestry curation in college. (And for good reason: it’s very important not to feel like you live in a cinderblock prison.)

Since this is Instagram, I’m sure it’s just a strategic filter choice. #thereisnoreality

Kind of like how as a kid I was always a fan of the gymnasts (and figure skaters, for that matter) who looked like they were dancing in superhuman ways, instead of mechanically waving their arms about for no apparent reason at all. I do think that Aly Raisman achieves some of the fluidity with her floor routines,…

Beautiful stuff.

omg THE SADDEST

TRUTH, YOU SPEAK IT

I was there too. Something about the phrase “Fuck Fest” screams “orgy!” to me, for some reason.

I mean he's definitely cocky, but I blame NBC for their relentless coverage of him more than Phelps himself. (And yes, for not giving more coverage to Manuel!!)

I just moved to Rochester (an hour-ish away from Minneapolis) and I totally believe the lawn thing because people out here seem OBSESSED about it. A friend found neighbors were mowing their lawn a few weeks before they moved in, and I suspect it wasn’t purely altruistic. Another friend had a Neighbor “show” them the…

I LOVE NICOLE CURTIS you are clearly a person of refinement and taste.

YES BECAUSE ALSO FLUSH SPLASH RADIUS.

Yeah, I think density makes a huge difference. You can step outside and kind of breathe if it gets too cramped, when you’re somewhere more spread out.

My husband is always finding mystery bruises on my thighs and hips at furniture height. I’d never survive!

We’re going down to 950 sq feet in a few months (we’re currently at 2100 but we do share it with my brother-in-law, so). We’re a little apprehensive to be honest but I know it’ll be the right choice. Six hundred seems baller to me!

Agreed. I’ll go down an extra bedroom or two so our energy bills are reasonable; I’m not willing to live in something designed for Our Dystopic Future.

This is an excellent reference.
