I don't know how you all feel about this apartment, but it's very cold to me. I don't like some of the elements that Vern has put in it. I"m not sure if the web page gives a good look at it, but the show has a more detailed view. I think it's the combination of modern with antique that I don't like. The bedroom, for example, has two pediments from old buildings that look like crouching gargoyles to me. I really don't like the bathroom, either. The sink looks like it belongs in a bus station. The plastic looking chairs in the living room do not fit in with the decor. (IMO) Don't get me wrong, I'd be thrilled to have a place in New York in that location and with that view. I'll probably sign up for it. http://www.hgtv.com/urban-oasis/index.html What do you all think? I'm curious!

I've been entering to win this, so when I do, you are all invited! I agree about Vern's design or furniture choices. I hate the plastic chairs in that kitchen. There are so many things I like about it and those just are so cold looking in comparison to the warm wood and the warm rug and flooring. And, I hate those gargoyle things, too! I love eclectic, but this just looks far too heavy for the place.

Vern talked about the view & then blocked it in the bathroom with a statue? The reason there is a view of the water is that Ground Zero has not been rebuilt (but still smells horrible).

Dear, dear Smokey........... When I win you may come to my wine and cheese party at dusk. I have no problem sharing the view for a while.
