At first I was confused. I'd posted this NYC condo over a year ago and it hasn't sold. But, then I realized what the realtor did- this is a photoshopped version of what it COULD look like. The 5bd, 5ba, 4,076 sq ft apt. is priced at $8.75m, but this is not what it really looks like.

This is what the new owner would be buying. As far as I'm concerned it's cool, but I guess this is why it hasn't sold. So, let's go on and compare the real thing to the realtor's desperate vision, hoping to sell it.

The large living room looking all white and gray.

And, the large living room as it is. But, the carpet- it's like art. I bet it was expensive. And, I love the interesting light fixture.

In the realtor's vision, a built-in bookshelf appears in the corner and there are draperies. The carpet is gone, in favor of a new wood floor and area rugs.

No curtains, the carpet pattern changes, which is cool. I would probably repaint a brighter color, the walls need a refresh.

This is how the dining room could look. I'm surprised that they kept the built-in corner table. Another built-in shelf, too.

The carpet continues around to the dining room. The place does need painting, the walls look worn.

The kitchen would look like this with a total gut.

Because this is the current kitchen. Check out the floor. Love the Playboy bunny stool. And, look at the cool lights going around the ceiling, that the realtor removed.

The new primary bedroom. It's a nice big room, isn't it?

This is the bedroom now. It's looking a little tired and needs refreshing.

The realtor didn't change the delightful child's room. Look at the colorful little loft above the bed.

This bath, however, is a different story. This is how it could look.

And, this is how it looks now. Lots of mosaics.

They didn't alter this bath. (There are 5). The little pink sink is cute and the blue tile isn't too bad to leave alone.

This is considered an amazing view in Manhattan.

I think I can see NJ.

So, the new owner will have what they call a million dollar view.

It's a huge apt. , which is why it's so expensive. But, a buyer would have to consider the extra cost of remodeling it.

When Amber and Wilson get together and she makes him choose a mattress, she tells him it's because she wants him to be himself and not only to please her. And then, when House and Wilson move into the condo, House encourages (bullies) him into putting effort in the furnishing of their home, to take up space and find things that bring him joy (maybe because he wants Wilson to enjoy the place as much as he is enjoying it) and the only thing Wilson actually chooses is an organ (?) something he knows House will enjoy/play continously, the thing Wilson brought to their home was House's music.

listen I know it’s controversial but RTD was so correct when he decided that the doctor is the type of girl to have one sleepover with her best friend and then never leave her house again

i keep thinking back to a quote by some architect who was arguing that the most sustainable architecture is the architecture that doesnt get torn down bc we will be (hopefully) constantly finding newer, cheaper, more efficient, ways of being "sustainable" so trying to make the most sustainable building is a moot point. in 5 years it will be outdated & if all it has going for it is "was once a very sustainable building but isnt anymore" well. that isnt much. the point was that the architect was saying that classical/romantic architecture (often considered very beautiful & worth saving which i could get into but that a whole other thing) is sustainable bc of its beauty. bc of the value we put on it. bc we dont want to erase or tear down things we find beautiful or important. i dont really have an end thought but im just musing on the importance of beauty & how aesthetic value can extend itself into material value & also how beauty (infinite) is hoarded by the rich as if it is a finite source. inch resting

Another Carol and the End of the World background I painted: Eric's townhouse! Actually, now that I'm thinking about it... I don't even think we see the whole exterior in the show itself - kinda hard to believe given how much we see of the interior! In fact, I actually checked and the only glimpse we get of it is one of the patios in episode 8, so consider this a bit of exclusive content I guess, ha ha! For some reason, I was very enamoured with the red doors on this one... something about red doors just feels fancy to me - I can't explain it! Anyways, check out Carol and the End of the World on Netflix if you haven't seen it already! Showrunner: @dan-guterman BG design: Alex Myung Art direction: @ellemichalka

Today must be bargain day. I have low-priced gems to show you. Now, this one is a cheap studio condo in a high rise in Chicago, IL for only $160k + $488mo. HOA. How can you go wrong? It's a 1962 cool, round, mid-century modern building and the unit still has the original pink retro kitchen, which I wouldn't change.

The hall is typically mid-century modern.

It's a one-room studio, but the kitchen is separate, which is nice. It needs some new flooring and bright paint, but look at the wall of windows and that huge terrace.

Love this.

Small hallway going thru to the kitchen and main area.

The kitchen even has the original pink stove.

It's cute. I think that I would redo it, though. Still in pink, but it needs a refresh.

It has a closet/pantry.

It looks like the sink is a separate room with a closet.

And, then the toilet and tub are in here. I like the color of the tub.

Downstairs, there's a store. Is that wine I see?

This is cool- a place to keep a bike and a storage unit.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy this.

Looks like parking.
