Michael Stipe's loft - http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303901504577460941225466200.html?mod=rss_newyork_real_estate#

This is a great thread. Tried to find Rick Wakeman's appearance on 'Through the Keyhole' but failed. Ah well. It was just a house full of synths and wizards, anyway.

x-post

So Mr. Stipe has put his penthouse loft home and studio on Canal Street in SoHo on the market for $10.95 million as he searches for a suitable downtown work space to share with his partner, Thomas Dozol, a photographer and silk-screen artist.

Michael Stipe's place is for sale.

wakeman 'through the keyhole' sounds like the easiest possible.

I like their media room

omg i LOVE their media room but wish it had more carpet and a real conversation pit
i can't believe people actually live like that?!

yes to the kitchen! NO to the study. that wallpaper would give me a headache

most of the house is a bit too whitewashed for me, I'd be scared of getting things dirty bcs I am a walking dirtsmudge

agree with the whitewashed comment, but I like the super patterned wallpaper (blame acid...)

lol

Media room is nice, yeah. Sort of like the study too but I wouldn't want walls that busy *as a study*. Kitchen is just a kitchen - the only thing that I'm like "yes" to is the sheer amount of room they have, y'know. If someone gave me that house I wouldn't be anything other than made up about it, but the decor is yawwwwwwwwn for the most part.

it's cool that there are a couple of 'relaxed' though

always boggle at houses wehre there's SO many rooms. like you half expect them to have a 'day kitchen' and a 'guest kitchen'

*'relaxed (rooms) though

"I'd be scared of getting things dirty bcs I am a walking dirtsmudge"

people with insane amounts of money do not think about things like this.

plus they have more money to spend on hourly changes of clothing to hide their innate grubbiness I suppose

wtf an office bedroom AND a guest bedroom?

Liam Gallagher has bought an apartment by Central Park. It's bland.

What is an 'office bedroom'?

Damn right.

Glad he doesn't have that landlord anymore.

this thread is giving me FOMO

Imagine Tom Petty walking under those skylights toward you, panes of sunshine moving across his face like neon passing over a chrome bumper moving down Sunset.

Blatant attempt to get into the striking visual imagery thread.

I prefer to think of him swinging like a monkey from that third floor porch
nice house!

Odd fridge placement.

http://cdn.cstatic.net/images/gridfs/520a97e9f92ea1351f004bf3/13-693537_22_0.jpg

why is that fridge on a stage?

Might make some sense if that's your main living room, the kitchen is miles away, and that fridge only contains types of booze. Coming from a voice of booze wisdom, here.

Kazu and Amedeo from Blonde Redhead's apartment - http://joannagoddard.blogspot.co.uk/2009/05/home-inspiration-blonde-redhead.html

The completely empty shelves are freaking me out slightly more, tbh. I mean, why keep the idiosyncratic fridge placement and hideous decor if nobody lives there, and if someone is living there now where are their things?

surprised to see nick cave apparently reading new right journal the new criterion

i thought it was a booze fridge too btw.

New Criterion used to publish a lot of poetry in the 80s
