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.

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.
